Books by Thomas Ambrosio

Examines five strategies that an authoritarian Russia has adopted to preserve the Kremlin's political power: insulate, bolster, subvert, redefine and coordinate. This book makes contributions to our understandings of Russian domestic and foreign policies, democratization theory, and the policy challenges associated with democracy promotion.

The idea of national unification has long been a powerful mobilizing force for nationalist thinkers and ethnic entrepreneurs since the rise of nationalist ideology in the late 1700s.

Examining the shifts in Russian foreign policy and their potential impact on the status and influence of the United States in the international system, this book examines why the Kremlin initially sought an alliance with the United States and the internal and external reasons why such a policy was unsustainable.

Ethnic identity groups-defined broadly to include ethnic, religious, linguistic, or racial identities-have long played a role in the formulation and implementation of U.S. foreign policy.
