Opis

Can the United States afford to be less concerned with security in its relation with Russia now that the Soviet Union has disappeared? This work argues that the Russian-U.S. relationship is metastable--small inputs can produce large changes--and that serious attention must be given to the cooperative management of common security. Leading experts examine several trends and problem areas in three different contexts--the transition from the Soviet Union to the Russian Federation and its implications for security and foreign policy; the relation between military power and international stability after the Cold War; the political, military, and technological means available for building a Russian-U.S. security community.

Recenzje

`the issues raised remain pertinent to the debate. It is an important book, in its outline of the possible grounds which exist for security cooperation, its recognition that these should not be ignored, and in its recognition that for the forseeable future there are nevertheless clear limitations to what can be achieved' Millennium
