Foreign Policy. Whereas the overall foreign policy of the United States in the late 1990s and early 2000s was based on expansive aims, Russia’s overall foreign policy outlook was defensive and heavily based on the domestic and economic issues. Whereas Russia’s foreign policy initially aimed at pursuing liberal ‘pro-Westernism’ in which Russia strived for radical neoliberal reforms and a related partnership with the West, from the mid-1990s on the foreign policy outlook was increasingly defined by growing resentment towards the US.

Foreign Policy. According to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, a recipient state’s dependence on a supplier’s weapons, maintenance services, and training “elicits at least a caution if not outright realignment in the recipient’s foreign policy dealings with its military patron.”60 For example, analysing U.S.- Pakistani security cooperation, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx writes that because Washington provided military aid to Islamabad during the 1970s and 1980s on a consistent basis, Pakistan invariably took a position in alignment with the United States when issues of high importance to U.S. interests rose up.61 During the 1980s Pakistan supported American efforts to undermine the Soviet military campaign in Afghanistan, which contributed to the ‘bleeding out’ of the Soviet Union. Xxxx also argues that arms transfers to Pakistan allowed the United States to gain a strategic foothold in South Asia, especially since India (the other major power in the region) was primarily dependent on arms from the Soviet Union.62 Policymakers who promote security cooperation are biased towards believing that foreign military aid will allow the supplier to increase its influence vis-à-vis a particular country or region. In addition, some analysts argue that arms transfers lead recipient states to become embroiled in unwanted military conflicts that are indirectly tied to the interests of their suppliers.63 60 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx quoted in Xxxxxxx, Arms Transfers and Dependence, 297. 61 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, “Influence through Arms Transfers: Lessons from the US-Pakistani Relationship,” Asia Survey, Vol. 32, No. 12 (December 1992.) 62 Roughly three-quarters of India’s arms imports between during the 1970s and 1980s came from the Soviet Union. SIPRI, Indian Military Imports, 1968-1990. 63 For example, see Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, “Arms Transfer Dependence and Foreign Policy Conflict,” Journal of Peace Research, Vol. 35, No. 1 (1998), 7-23. Nevertheless, other authors argue that the opposite is the case: that, counter-intuitively, a recipient is able to exercise influence over the supplier through arms transfers. For example, Xxxxxx Xxxxx argues that the inherent power asymmetry in the arms-transfer relationship “does not necessarily work to the advantage of the arms donor, as is commonly assumed, but rather to the benefit of the arms recipient.”64 Examining U.S. security cooperation relations with small allies during the Cold War, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx came up with the concept of the “big influence of small allies.”65 According to Xxxxxxx, s...
