The book then turns to the republics themselves to show how the Russian-U.S. rivalry is playing out in each one, including Russian diplomatic tactics aimed at protecting its \"backyard\" against slow but steady U.S. efforts to exert more influence in the region.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54220085035352,"sku":"9780275977535","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780275977535__67c1eee50c22f_0d575431-8a2a-4ca5-9a4b-c99f169a43f8.jpg?v=1741158449","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/rivalry-in-eurasia","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
