Reviews

This book provides an incisive, knowledgeable, and comprehensive look at a region of increasing instability, which can at any time expose a security crisis between Russia and the West. A courageous journey into the pressing problems and creative solutions facing Europe's border states. Teodor Melescanu, Professor at the National School of Political Studies and Public Administration and former Romanian Foreign Minister This edited work represents an excellent overview of the perceived security challenges, risks and threats faced by the EU and NATO border states, written from the perspective of capable researchers from the region. An outstanding searching appraisal of contemporary security issues, as well as the promises and pitfalls of mechanisms for conflict resolution. Greg Simons, Associate Professor at Uppsala University and the Swedish Defence University This volume is essential reading for all specialists in international affairs. It creditably avoids the temptation of partisanship and has the added advantage of an expert legal perspective. Its insights and arguments add significantly to our knowledge of the European border states, their geopolitical problems and the urgency of the need to address them before they return the world to a Cold War that may suddenly turn hot. Geoffrey Robertson QC, Founder and Head of Doughty Street Chambers and author of Crimes Against Humanity: The Struggle for Global Justice
