`Robert Boardman's study of the changing relations of Russia and China with the UN system is a welcome addition to post-Cold War literature on international organisations. As he notes in his acknowledgements, 'studying constantly moving targets is never easy' and both his 'targets' have certainly been moving very fast. Nevertheless, one of the strengths of this book is its delineation of the historical continuities as well as the recent changes in Soviet/Russian and Chinese attitudes toward multilateralism in general and the UN in particular...This timely study should be recommended reading for undergraduate courses in International Relations...lucidly written and admirably succinct' '- Millennium: Journal of International Relations Post-Socialist World Orders presents a study of Soviet/Russian Federation and Chinese policies in selected UN institutions from the early 1980s to the early 1990s.

Part II deals with China's foreign policy and economic modernization, and examines policies in the same set of institutions.
