Gardner explores the global ramifications of the NATO-Russian
relationship. He argues that NATO enlargement into Central Europe
risks the overextension of NATO's political consensus and could
provoke Russia and other states that do not expect to become full
members of the alliance. He concludes by proposing an alternative
system of security for the region. Gardner explores the global
ramifications of the NATO-Russian relationship. He examines NATO's
Partnership for Peace initiative as it relates to Russia, and he
argues that NATO risks provoking Russia and other states that do
not expect to become full members of the alliance. He contends that
if NATO and Russia cannot reach a compromise over a new system of
security in Central and Eastern Europe, then Russia could adopt an
increasingly assertive Eurasian stance by more closely aligning
with potentially anti-Western states such as Belarus, China, India,
Iraq, and Iran. Likewise, the possibility of a renewed division of
Europe cannot be ruled out. Gardner asserts that it is absolutely
necessary to draw Russia into a concerted relationship with the
United States and the European Union. He concludes by formulating a
viable system of cooperative-collective security for all Central
and Eastern European states backed by conjoint NATO, European, and
Russian security guarantees. This is a thoughtful and provocative
analysis of great interest to policymakers and students of
international relations and contemporary defense issues.
