1. The definitive study of U.S.-Russian relations in the 1990s has yet to be written. Important articles on the subject include Coit Blacker's "Russia and the West" in Michael Mandelbaum, ed., The New Russian Foreign Policy (New York: Council on Foreign Relations, 1998) and Stephen Sestanovich's "Why the United States Has No Russia Policy" in Robert Lieber, ed., Eagle Adrift: American Foreign Policy at the End of the Century (New York: Longman, 1997). The debate on U.S. policy toward Russia falls into two schools, the realist, neocontainment camp and the liberal engagement camp. On the first approach, see Zbigniew Brzezinski's "The Premature Partnership" (Foreign Affairs, March/April 1994). On the second approach, see Strobe Talbott's "Democracy and the National Interest" (Foreign Affairs, November/December 1996).

18. In contrast to the growing literature on the Russian economy, less has been done on the formation of new Russian political institutions. A good overview text is Thomas Remington's Politics in Russia (New York: Longman, 1999) Specialists will want to read Lilia Shevtsova's Yeltsin's Russia: Myths and Reality (Washington: Carnegie Endowment, 1999) and Michael Urban with Vyacheslav Igrunov and Sergie Mitrokhin, The Rebirth of Politics in Russia (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997).
