William Zimmerman, an emeritus professor of political science and research professor at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, specializes in two main areas of study. His focus lies on understanding the relationship between Russia's attitudes towards markets, democracy, and foreign policy, often relying on US data to examine the influence of elites and public opinion on Russian外交 strategy. Additionally, he explores the historical and comparative aspects of Russia as a "normal" nation, reassessing the Soviet political system and evaluating post-Soviet transformations. Notable works include "Russians and Foreign Policy: Elite and Public Views, 1993-2000", "The Soviet Perspective on International Relations, 1956-1967", and "Politics and Culture in Yugoslavia".
