Disorder erupted in Ukraine in 2014, involving the overthrow of a
sitting government, the Russian annexation of the Crimean
peninsula, and a violent insurrection, supported by Moscow, in the
east of the country. This Adelphi book argues that the crisis has
yielded a ruinous outcome, in which all the parties are worse off
and international security has deteriorated. This negative-sum
scenario resulted from years of zero-sum behaviour on the part of
Russia and the West in post-Soviet Eurasia, which the authors
rigorously analyse. The rivalry was manageable in the early period
after the Cold War, only to become entrenched and bitter a decade
later. The upshot has been systematic losses for Russia, the West
and the countries caught in between. All the governments involved
must recognise that long-standing policies aimed at achieving
one-sided advantage have reached a dead end, Charap and Colton
argue, and commit to finding mutually acceptable alternatives
through patient negotiation.
