Opis

The Soviet Union's collapse has had long-lasting impacts on Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia: changes in state-society relations, reconfiguration of political, economic and social ties, resurgence of regional conflicts, and new migration patterns towards Russia and the European Union. Meanwhile, the EU has emerged as an important regional player, engaging neighbouring states in cross-border regional co-operation. This book explores questions related to borders, security and migration in the emerging "European Neighbourhood", and the potential role of the EU as a stabilizing force.
