Official image-creations and empirical findings (on the actual effects and contradictions regarding these images) about the self-construction and discursive narratives of China and Russia. Especially regarding their international role/foreign policy.
You should also check out the book 'China Goes Global: The Partial Power' by David Shambaugh, published in 2013. I think this book has a chapter that deals with the issue of Chinese identity constructions. It may be helpful to advance your research.
Hi Sebastian, I found particularly useful all of the "Geopolitica" issues, which often deal with such topics with db peer-reviewed papers. Most of them are in Italian, but all abstracts are in English and a number of papers is fully in English. Here's the website: www.geopolitica-rivista.org
For Russia, check out Ted Hopf's work, esp. "Social Construction of Foreign Policy
Identities and Foreign Policies, Moscow, 1955 and 1999." http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140100525990
