The Soviet Union in the Third World (1981) analyses Soviet objectives in the developing world, the instruments of foreign policy employed and their success and failure, the implications of Soviet foreign policy for the international system in general and the US foreign and defence policies in particular. Twenty leading specialists examine Soviet involvement in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, and discuss the subject from both security and economic perspectives.

In this fully updated edition of their widely respected text, Donaldson and Nogee trace the lineage and development of Russian foreign policy, highlighting the continuities of Russia's behavior in the world as well as the major sources of change and variability. This edition includes new coverage of ongoing issues connected with NATO expansion, the status of Kosovo and Georgia, terrorism, Islamism, and access to petroleum and other natural resources. The basic framework used is a modified realism that stresses the balance of power and the importance of national interest, and identifies several factors (both internal and external) that condition Russian policy. The interpretations are original and based on a mix of primary and secondary sources.
