A comparative study of the relationship between the end of the Cold War and the resurgence of geopolitics in Europe.

Recenzje

'There is much useful reflection in the first three chapters that rewards a close reading. This includes a consideration of the relationship of neoclassical geopolitics to realism in international relations … The case studies that follow are a significant strength of the book.' James D. Sidaway, Society and Space
