Reviews

“This edited volume represents, as yet, the single most important English-language contribution to the question of post-Cold War NATO enlargement. Goldgeier and Shifrinson largely concede that their efforts remain incomplete, but they have begun answering questions that will only grow more important with time. This important edited volume will benefit policy-makers, allowing a deeper sense of history to inform their decision-making and serving as a reminder of the contingent forces that shape world politics.” (Harold Mock, International Affairs, Vol. 100 (1), 2024) “This interesting and important collections of essays on the enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its consequences appeared at a historic moment … . It is a development—and to some extent an adjustment—of the papers that were published as a special issue of International Politics in 2020 … . the volume intelligently tries to bring some consensus to the discussion.” (Harold James, H-Diplo, H-Net Reviews, November 3, 2023)
