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.
