俄罗斯似乎再次走上了国际舞台的最前沿。安妮·克鲁南 (Anne L. Clunan) 对俄罗斯复兴的分析令人信服地指出，在后苏联国家中，传统的安全关切、历史愿望和人类能动性正在围绕新的国家身份和重新配置的国家利益结合在一起。她的工作超越了权力平衡和现实主义政治，提出了一种新的跨学科理论：抱负建构主义。这一开创性的理论借鉴了国际关系研究和社会心理学。克鲁南认为，对集体自尊的需要会产生直接塑造其国家和安全利益的愿望（通常基于一个国家的过去）。在将这一理论应用于俄罗斯时，她指出该国不断努力对前苏联卫星国施加影响，并将俄罗斯五种广泛的国家自我形象——西方、国家主义、斯拉夫主义、新共产主义和民族主义——中对国际地位的渴望与俄罗斯对其在欧洲、欧亚大陆和核武器方面的安全利益的定义联系起来。克鲁南对社会学、社会心理学和传统国际政治如何影响后苏联时期俄罗斯身份和安全问题的研究确实是跨学科的。最后一章讨论了抱负建构主义对俄罗斯和其他国家的政策影响，方法论附录列出了检验该理论的框架。
Once again, it appears that Russia is marching to the forefront of the international stage. Anne L. Clunan's analysis of Russia's resurgence convincingly argues that traditional security concerns, historical aspirations, and human agency are coalescing around a new national identity and reconfigured national interests in the post-Soviet nation. Her work moves beyond balance-of-power and realist politics to posit a new, interdisciplinary theory: aspirational constructivism. This groundbreaking theory draws on international relations research and social psychology. Clunan argues that the need for collective self-esteem creates aspirations-often based in a nation's past-that directly shape its national and security interests. In applying this theory to Russia, she points to the nation's continuing efforts to exert influence over former Soviet satellite states and relates the desire for international status found in five broad Russian national self-images-Western, statist, Slavophile, neocommunist, and nationalist-to Russia's definition of its security interests with respect to Europe, Eurasia, and nuclear weapons. Clunan's examination of how sociology, social psychology, and traditional international politics affect post-Soviet Russian identity and security concerns is truly cross-disciplinary. A concluding chapter discusses the policy implications of aspirational constructivism for Russia and other nations and a methodological appendix lays out a framework for testing the theory.
