'...young Russian IR scholars are finally bursting onto the international scene, suitably flanked by assorted colleagues from elsewhere. Russian IR theory has finally arrived.' Iver B. Neumann, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs and author of Russia and the Idea of Europe 'The analysis of the Russian-Georgian war shows that the institution of great power management is undergoing historical change, so far insufficiently understood. In an often intriguing read, the book provides an important step to address that change, developing English School insights with e.g. Foucault, Schmitt, as well as identity and role theory.' Stefano Guzzini, Danish Institute for International Studies, Denmark & Uppsala University, Sweden
