The New Security Environment.
The Impact on Russia, Central and Eastern Europe
Edited by Roger E. Kanet, University of Miami, USA
(med "bidraget Russia's Relations with Ukraine and Belarus")
The security and foreign policy environment in
Russia, Central and Eastern Europe is constantly changing and evolving.
This exceptional book pays special attention to the impact that
the expansion of NATO and the EU is likely to have on security
issues. One of the unique features of the volume is the diversity
of the contributors, complementing the geographical span of the
regions studied. They therefore bring diverse perspectives to their
analysis on the central issues of security in the post 9/11 period.
Incorporating an excellent selection of case studies such as the
impact of US policy, EU enlargement and Russia's regional security
challenges, the volume will prove equally indispensable in the
classroom and on any researcher's bookshelf.
This is a timely, well researched analysis by accomplished and
internationally respected scholars of the security challenges facing
the peoples and states o f Central and Eastern Europe. Professor
Kanet has assembled a first-rate team o f informed specialists
that detail, as no other set of analyses currently available, the
many internal and external security issues confronting this crucial
region of the world and their implications for American and international
security. I highly recommend this volume...
