The book is an important study as it deals with how international peace and security cannot be achieved since states act in their own interests. Moreover, it reveals once again that states must agree on solving problems under international law. The scope of the study was constrained by the author’s discussion of the foreign policies that heads of state have adopted from the Boris Yeltsin era to the present, as well as Russia’s actions in the Middle East and the former Soviet Republics.
