This volume investigates the nature and substance of the 'partnership' relations that have developed between Russia and NATO since the end of the Cold War.

This study of EU and NATO enlargement sets both in a comparative context and considers them against a backdrop of the evolution of a pan-European security community. The book is divided into two parts. In the first, the authors examine and discuss the EU and NATO enlargement processes and the incremental linkage which has developed between them. The major issues and challenges facing the two institutions as they ponder the next steps in enlargement are also assessed.

This timely book considers the topical issue of the enlargement processes of the European Union and NATO. The contributors examine issues including: the dual enlargement process and German and Russian relationships with it; NATO and the pan-European security agenda; East European reactions to enlargement; and concepts of security in the new Europe. This book provides a cohesive overview of the pan-European security debate and is an essential resource for students and academics interested in the development of the European Union.

The book presents a unique analysis of NATO's evolution after the Cold War, emphasizing a fresh perspective that diverges from conventional literature. It explores the organization's transformation and strategic adaptations, providing insights into its role in contemporary global security dynamics. The author critiques existing narratives and offers a comprehensive understanding of NATO's significance in the post-Cold War era, making it a valuable resource for those interested in international relations and military alliances.
