SIPRI Monographs Russia and Europe

Following the demise of the USSR, the end of the cold war, and the increasing importance of the EU, the security relationship between Russia and Europe has become crucially important. This book is the first to provide in-depth analysis of the whole range of that relationship. Covering the historical background, domestic developments, the role of military factors, and Russia's immediate security environment, Russia and Europe provides a comprehensive analysis of the increasingly important security relationship between Russia and Europe. Particular attention is paid to Russia's relations with its Slavic neighbours, the Baltic and nordic countries, and the Caucasus. It concludes with an examination of Russia's present and potential relations with all the existing European security structures.
