The crisis in Ukraine and its implications for both the Crimean
peninsula and Russia's relations with the West. The current
conflict in Ukraine has spawned the most serious crisis between
Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. It has
undermined European security, raised questions about NATO's future,
and put an end to one of the most ambitious projects of U.S.
foreign policy-building a partnership with Russia. It also
threatens to undermine U.S. diplomatic efforts on issues ranging
from terrorism to nuclear proliferation. And in the absence of
direct negotiations, each side is betting that political and
economic pressure will force the other to blink first. Caught in
this dangerous game of chicken, the West cannot afford to lose
sight of the importance of stable relations with Russia. This book
puts the conflict in historical perspective by examining the
evolution of the crisis and assessing its implications both for the
Crimean peninsula and for Russia's relations with the West more
generally. Experts in the international relations of post-Soviet
states, political scientists Rajan Menon and Eugene Rumer clearly
show what is at stake in Ukraine, explaining the key economic,
political, and security challenges and prospects for overcoming
them. They also discuss historical precedents, sketch likely
outcomes, and propose policies for safeguarding U.S.-Russia
relations in the future. In doing so, they provide a comprehensive
and accessible study of a conflict whose consequences will be felt
for many years to come.
