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. Glenn Diesen presents two competing theories, ultimately arguing that a European security framework that sidelines Russia leads to a zero-sum geopolitical scenario, positioning European integration as a catalyst for conflict with Russia. This exploration delves into the intricate dynamics of international relations and security dilemmas in post-Cold War Europe.
