NEEDS TO BE ANWSERED BY NOV 23...

I am looking for a just a handful of sites on Sino-Soviet Foreign
Policy (quality not quantity is important on these links).  No
explination on the researchers part is needed, just the some strong
links that anwser this.  Specifially these sites need to contain
detailed information by

Comparing Moscow’s foreign policy toward China during the Soviet
period and after the collapse of the Soviet union.  I further require
that the sites that are presented compare the similarities in the
behavior in Soviet and Post-Soviet Policy.  MOST IMPORTANTLY I require
sites that get to the Meat of the WHY.  I specifically need these
sites, or atleast some of them to give me a good idea of why these
there was a change in soviet or post soviet policy.  For example, any
papers, or such could articulate why the Economy, trade, reduced
power, changes in the political system, or the differing attitudes of
the continuity and change, or any other reason.

If the researcher can only find links comparing (and Contrasting)
Soviet and Post-Soviet Foreign Policy that will might be sufficient,
so please do post that.

ANSWER

Hello frescogear-ga,

Here’s a handful (and a little more) of strong links for you on
Sino-Soviet history and changes in foreign policy. I’ve given you some
relevant articles that address your topics and I’ve also included some
collections and mega-sites in case you need additional information.
Since I ran across a number of books relevant to your search, I listed
some that I thought might be useful.

Please let me know if you need clarification or comments on any of
these materials. Good luck with your research.

Thanks for the strong effort.  But I need the anwsers to take a
different path.  I already have some 20 books on Sino-Soviet
Relations.  I don't require books or articles that just tell me a
chronology of the events or tensions and such.

I've already done a good amount of research on this topic, what I'm
looking for are freshnew perpectives on certain issues.  Let me give
you an example of a good article I found.

http://www.brookings.edu/dybdocroot/fp/cnaps/papers/lukinwp_01.pdf
At this article Alexander Lukin breaks down the "Motives behind the
Russian-Chinese rapproachment".  He explains the Reasons why
Sino-Soviet relations are on the rise.  Reasons include (1) US
hegemony (2) boost in economy (3)trade ... and such.

This is all for a paper that I am working on.  The open ended topic is

"The paper will be a comparison of any aspect Moscow’s foreign policy
during the Soviet period and after the collapse of Soviet policy.  In
it, you should compare the differences and or similarities in the
behavior and endeavor  (try) to explain the “why” – reduced power,
changes in political system, differing elite attitudes—of the
continuity and change you observe."

Also, I need some articles that just don't give me a chronology of
events, or what actually happened throughout the sino-soviet split,
but that actually compare aspects of policy then and now.  For example
I've found some texts that compare the similarities and differences in
their alliance structure, and such.

If you need further clarifications let me know, and I will get back to
you later on today.

Hi frescogear-ga,
I'm sorry the initial research wasn't quite what you wanted. Your
clarification helps. I'll get back to you with more shortly.

I know that those articles/papers might be a little tough to find. 
But I know that they exist.  I've stumbled across a handful myself. 
But if you can find some good ones, that save me alot of research
time, I certainly will tip handsomely :)

Hi frescogear-ga, 
I'm eager to help you find what you need. To maximize my efforts (so I
don't follow leads you've already exhausted) could you please tell me
what you've already found? Can you share your ideas about avenues of
research that you think might be productive? I'd like to build on what
you've already established instead of repeating your explorations.
Thanks very much.

<<To maximize my efforts (so I don't follow leads you've already

Most of the resources that I've covered are from books.  However I
have
found quite a few good links on the net relating to this subject.


The Limits of Chinese-Russian Strategic Collaboration
http://www.ccc.nps.navy.mil/rsepResources/si/sept02/eastAsia2.asp
Which compares the strategic alliance of then (During the Soviet era)
and
now (after the fall of the soviet era) it breaks it down well in this
paragraph.

"The 2001 Russian-Chinese treaty is far more limited than the 1950 
alliance. First, it is not a security alliance, including no provision
for
mutual defense in the event of attack by a third country. It states
only
that the two sides will have "immediate contact and consultations" if
either perceives a threat to its security interests. Second, there is
no
congruence of political ideology, as post-Soviet Russia has emerged as
a
democracy of a kind while China remains an authoritarian communist
state.
Third, the two sides share important economic interests, but now the 
respective roles are reversed from what they were in the 1950s. Russia
is
working to convert its former planned economy to an open market
economy, to
integrate itself into the broader world economic order and gain
membership
in the WTO. China has already made great advances in dismantling its 
Stalinist economic system in favor of a market-based order, is the
world's
sixth-ranking trading nation, and attained membership in the WTO last
year."

That's an example of something I might be looking for

Others that I've found

<<<Can you share your ideas about avenues of research that you think

So really what I need are articles like

The Limits of Chinese-Russian Strategic Collaboration
http://www.ccc.nps.navy.mil/rsepResources/si/sept02/eastAsia2.asp
Which compares the strategic alliance of then (During the Soviet era)
and
now (after the fall of the soviet era) it breaks it down well in this
paragraph.

Which compares an aspect of Foreign Policy from the '50s / '60's to
the current policies of Russia.

Other areas that you can compare policies in. Well, you can try to
find more on the strategic alliance treaty, or you can move to find
articles that compare how political ideology played a major role in
their foreign policy stances then while today that's not the case
which allows them to carry on conventional policy.

The bottom line
I would like to focus more on the comparison of specific aspects of
policies then (50's/60's) and now (after the fall of communism).

just to clarify.  don't worry so much about the "why".  just what was
similar or different in their paltform of policies then and now.

Hello again frescogear-ga,

This turned into a much bigger project than I’d anticipated. Here’s a
new selection of links. I think you’ll find them productive and I hope
you’ll be able to finish your paper with the materials I’ve collected
here. Many of the sites are research institutes or portals and have
links to many articles. Good luck.

The the researcher put quite a bit of effort into the question. 
However all the articles and links that the researcher sent failed to
anwser the questions that I proposed.  Although I admit the question
would have required some general background knowledge in order to
research properly, however I expected that maybe someone who was
particularly knowledgable on political sciences would anwser the
question or the question would just not get anwsered at all.  The
links sent to me in response to the question, were overall general
links that list an overall course relations between the two countries,
or they discussed particular aspects that simply did not anwser the
question.

Oh my! Thanks for the additional input. I won't have a chance to work
on it until tomorrow. More soon.
