This book is a very timely account of the legal, economic and
political consequences for border states caught in the current
tug-of-war between the West and Russia.The Ukraine crisis of 2014
focused policy-makers' attention on a geographical area full of
dangers that had gone relatively unnoticed since the breakup of the
Soviet Union, namely the security dynamics of the border states of
Eastern Europe and the Black Sea. Twenty-five years after the
collapse of the Soviet Union, a strong Russia returns alternatively
threatening and cajoling, but at risk itself of suffering economic
injury from western reprisals over its nostalgia for the map drawn
at Yalta. That conflict, which hotted up over the Ukraine, was soon
being played out over - and in the air space over - Syria and
Turkey, while the border states themselves are likely to be drawn
into the European refugee crisis and have the potential, after the
2015 Paris atrocities, to be breeding grounds for international
terrorists. This groundbreaking book contains prescient warnings
that must be heeded by leaders and diplomats on both sides of the
East-West divide.
