Rapprochement or Rivalry?

"In this first comprehensive study of Russia-China relations, Sherman Garnett and a team of fifteen U.S., Russian, Chinese scholars analyze the most important issues posed by the relationship, including cross border trade, the impact of Russia's center periphery politics, population migration, arms sales, and (mis)perceptions of one another. The book weighs the prospects for real cooperation between Russia, a severely weakened power, and China, a power on the rise."--BOOK JACKET.
