It is not hyperbole to suggest that the foundations of post-cold
war security in Europe have been badly damaged by the conflict in
Ukraine since 2014. Russia's annexation of Crimea and intervention
in eastern Ukraine appear to have created a 'simmering' conflict,
which may take years to resolve and have profound consequences for
the European security environment. This volume explores the various
political, economic and social aspects of these profound changes
and their wider significance for Europe, bringing together
contributions by scholars from across the continent and in various
disciplinary fields to offer an authoritative, in-depth examination
of the complex causes of the Ukraine crisis and the consequences
for Ukrainian statehood, Ukraine's relations with Russia, Russia's
own domestic governance and Russia's relations with Europe. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Europe-Asia
Studies.
The Caucasus, including the South Caucasus states and Russia's
North Caucasus, continues to be an area of instability and
conflict. This book, based on extensive original research, explores
in detail at both the local and regional level the interaction
between state and society and the impact of external actors'
engagement in the region within a conceptual framework linking
security and democracy. Unlike other books on the subject, which
tend to examine the issues from a Western political science
perspective, this book incorporates insights from sociology,
geography and anthropology as well as politics and contains
contributions from scholars who have carried out extensive research
in the region within a European Commission-funded Seventh Framework
Programme project.

This book analyses Russia’s strategy in the Middle East and North
Africa (MENA) in the turbulent period since the inception of the
Arab Spring. It explores the key policy challenges faced by Russia
in the context of Russia’s relations with both the regional
states and the major external powers. The book incorporates
chapters on Russia’s involvement in MENA affairs, its
intervention in the Syrian civil war, the domestic sources of its
foreign policy, its clash with the Western powers over issues
pertaining to sovereignty and humanitarian norms, its response to
the challenge posed by Islamist extremism, and its
political-military and economic interests in the MENA region. The
book offers an original, critical analysis of Russia’s thinking
and decision-making and examines the implications of its more
assertive foreign policy strategy following its military
interventions in Syria and Ukraine. -- .
