information; 'Critical Case Studies' highlighting controversial and
complex current affairs that show how the world works in practice;
and questions to stimulate discussion, review key concepts, and

The writers examine how the eastward movement of NATO has led to a
new organization. As they point out, the process was underway by
the time the Soviet Union collapsed. Issues of western financial
constraint, the Gulf War, events in the former Yugoslavia, and
changing configurations of the major NATO partners led the way. In
addition, the essays examine the potential effects of the
incorporation of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary as well as
the more distant, but still conceivable inclusion of the Baltic
states, Ukraine, and others and special arrangements with Russia.
NATO is leading the way in creating a new security architecture for
Europe and its look East policy is the most important part of the
change. As the essays indicate, NATO's transformation leaves many
questions for the future. Despite the new Russian-NATO agreement,
what reactions will take place in Rusian domestic politics? What
will happen in the ratification process throughout the extant
member states? Can all 16 states come to a unanimous agreement? And
lastly what will be the consequences for Eastern Europe: including
the new members of Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, and
possibly and more importantly, those states inside the former
communist empire which are not admitted as members in the first
round of expansion? This is an important study for scholars,
researchers, and policy makers involved with Eastern Europe and
NATO.
This volume draws together and analyzes the changing conditions
in Europe since the momentous events of 1989 when the Berlin Wall
fell and a historic wave of change gathered force in Eastern Europe
and the Soviet Union. The dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, the
attempted coup d'etat against Gorbachev, and violence in Yugoslavia
are only a few of the events that have shaken the foundations of
European and international affairs. The studies included provide
insights on the most important aspects of European security,
including military, economic and political issues, and also assess
both North American and European perspectives about contemporary
events and future scenarios.
These studies address the immensely topical subjects of the
future of the economic community, the use or misuse of the
Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, and the
possibilities for war and for peace in our time. Part I provides an
overview of the new Europe. This volume will be useful to students
of European politics and security and to students and specialists
concerned with the future of Europe.
