A New Cold War? “This book offers a timely assessment of the current US-Russian relations by addressing the most pressing question confronting international relations scholars: What is the prospect of renewed great power competition and rivalry? Utilizing the richness of neoclassical realism (Type III), Smith skillfully identifies four key dimensions to compare the Cold War and the current state of US-Russian relations, giving us a much better picture of the potential for a new cold war, and making it essential reading.” —Steven E. Lobell, Professor of Political Science, University of Utah, USA “‘Concise’, ‘to the point’, ‘clearly written’, and ‘effectively argued’ are among the reactions after reading A New Cold War?, Nicholas Ross Smith’s brief, but incisive, comparison of the Cold War with current Russian-US relations. He demonstrates that, ‘when the structural, the ideological, the psychological, and the technological dimensions of the Cold War are compared with the current US-Russia relationship significant differences are observable.’ This questions the validity of using the term ‘Cold War’ as a framework for analysis of the current situation.” —Roger E. Kanet, Professor of Political Science, University of Miami, USA
