Description
Russia against the Rest by Richard Sakwa provides a thought-provoking analysis of the end of the Cold War and its aftermath. A 'cold peace' emerged, marked by tension between cooperation and competition, rather than a sustainable peace system. The author argues that fundamental problems of European security were not resolved, leading to tensions accumulating over time. The 2014 conflict in Ukraine is seen as a manifestation of this instability, with some viewing it as a new Cold War. Sakwa offers a balanced examination of the trajectory of European and global politics since the late 1980s. This book provides a carefully researched analysis of the complex relationships between Russia and the Atlantic community, shedding light on the current state of international relations.
