EU and NATO Relations with Russia

More about the book

The book examines the impact of the EU and NATO on Russian security following the Soviet Union's collapse, analyzing whether these institutions exacerbate or alleviate tensions with Russia. It tests two competing theories and argues that a European security framework that marginalizes Russia leads to a zero-sum geopolitical dynamic, positioning Western integration as a direct challenge to Russian interests. Glenn Diesen presents a critical perspective on how these security alliances influence the relationship between Russia and the West.
