Lees de synopsis van dit werk

Int this book Richard Sawka provides a new analysis of the end of the Cold War and the subsequent failure to create a comprehensive and inclusive peace system. Instead, for a quarter of a century a 'cold peace' reflected the tension between cooperative and competitive behavriour. None of the fundamental of European security were resolved, and tensions accumulated. In 2014 the crisis exploded in the form of conflict in Ukraine, provoking what some call a 'New Cold War' . Russia Against the Rest challenges the view that this is a replay of the old conflict, explaining how the tensions between Russiaand the Atlantic community reflect a global realignment of the international system. Sawka provides a balanced and carefully researched analysis of the trajectory of European and global politics since the late 1980s.
