The Asymmetric Rivalry. In one of the first analyses of the evolving Trump-Putin relationship, leading scholar of Russian foreign policy Andrei P Tsygankov challenges the dominant view that US-Russian relations have entered a new cold war phase. Russia's US strategy, he argues, can only be understood in the context of a changing international order. While America strives to preserve its global dominance, Russia - the weaker power - exploits its asymmetric capabilities and relations with non-Western allies to defend and promote its interests, and to avoid yielding to US pressures.
