This monograph contains two individual reports: Belarus and Russia:
Comradeship-in-Arms in Preempting Democracy by Dr. Vitali Silitski
and Ukraine: Domestic Changes and Foreign Policy Reconfiguration by
Dr. Arkady Moshes. Belarus remains the last true dictatorship in
Europe, and as such, its internal and external security agenda is
an abiding matter of concern to the European and Western
communities. But its trajectory is of equal concern to Moscow,
which has been the prime external supporter and subsidizer of the
Belarussian government under President Alyaksandr' Lukashenka. But
despite this support, tensions between Moscow and Minsk are
growing. The brief energy cutoffs imposed by Moscow at the start of
the year and Belarus' retaliation shows that not all is well in
that relationship. Not surprisingly, Lukashenka has now turned back
to the West for foreign support, but it will not be forthcoming
without significant domestic reform which is quite unlikely.
Ukraine presents a different series of puzzles and challenges to
Western leaders and audiences. It too has suffered from Russian
energy coercion, but its political system is utterly different from
Belarus and in a state of profound turmoil. Therefore, precise
analysis of what has occurred and what is currently happening in
Ukraine is essential to a correct understanding of trends there
that can then inform sound policymaking.
