Reviews
'Edstrom and Westberg present a seminal and meticulously researched study of the deteriorating European security environment, a disturbing reality underscored by the tragic Russian aggression in Ukraine. Leveraging rigorous analysis of strategically significant variables, including geographical factors, historical experiences, common trials, power dynamics, and military priorities in 11 European nations liberated from Soviet domination, the authors convincingly urge defense planners and leaders of Central Europe, NATO, and the European Union to adopt innovative strategies, military practices, and new defense capabilities to shore up national and collective security.' Steven Lambakis, Editor-in-Chief, Comparative Strategy and Senior Defense Analyst at the National Institute for Public Policy, Fairfax, VA, USA 'This path-breaking research monograph is essential reading for all those concerned with the changing dynamics of European security, defence cooperation and military strategy. Edström and Westberg have written the first comprehensive comparative study of the military strategies of eleven new NATO members from Central and Eastern Europe. Their analysis is grounded on a sophisticated research design and is logically structured, clearly written, and rich in empirical detail. The authors draw on their extensive knowledge of the relevant scholarly literature to provide a theoretically nuanced analysis of the critical factors shaping military strategy in NATO’s new European allies. Essential reading in these times of crises and insecurity.' Adrian Hyde-Price, Professor of Political Science, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
