Role quests in the post-cold war era : foreign policies in transition

Role Quests in the Post-Cold War Era examines foreign policy change through a comparative analysis of the reaction of the Great Powers to transformations in international relations after the Cold War. Contributors describe and explain the efforts of the United States, the Soviet Union/Russia, China, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada to redefine their roles in an environment that has become internally and externally more uncertain
