The war in Georgia. Tensions with Ukraine and other nearby
countries. Moscow's bid to consolidate its "zone of
privileged interests" among the Commonwealth of Independent
States. These volatile situations all raise questions about
the nature of and prospects for Russia's relations with its
neighbors. In this book, Carnegie scholar Dmitri
Trenin argues that Moscow needs to drop the notion of
creating an exclusive power center out of the post-Soviet
space. Like other former European empires, Russia will need
to reinvent itself as a global player and as part of a wider
community. Trenin's vision of Russia is an open
Euro-Pacific country that is savvy in its use of soft power
and fully reconciled with its former borderlands and
dependents. He acknowledges that this scenario may sound too
optimistic but warns that the alternative is not a new
version of the historic empire but instead is the ultimate
marginalization of Russia.
