Religion has been a waning and waxing factor in foreign politics. The Russian Federation is now leveraging "religious diplomacy" as an element in building its post Cold War identity. Following an overview of the role of the religious factor in Russian history and the relations between traditional religions and the political elite, Curanovic (international relations, U. of Warsaw, Poland) presents a detailed analysis of the religious factor's institutional and ideological aspects in policies toward particular states, and the mechanisms by which joint state-church institutions treat political issues. She examines what Russians expect from the Russian Orthodox Church in the public sphere, the Church's goals, and the function of religion in the contexts of nationalism, imperialism, Islamism, and other such trends.
