Ukraine and European Security FROM THE PUBLISHER
Since 1991 Ukraine has become a significant new actor on the European security scene. Such a development gives weight to Ukrainians views on general European security and on the relationship between Ukraine and European security, on the one hand, and the Atlantic Community and Ukraine's security, on the other. More significant, it raises questions about how the thinking of Ukrainians on these matters compares with that of North Americans and West Europeans. This volume is the first major effort to explore these questions in detail. It lays out the perspectives of leading North American, West European, and Ukrainian security analysts on European security issues during the next decade and their priority, strategies for approaching these issues, Ukraine's role in European security, and the Atlantic Community and Ukraine's security. These reveal a complex pattern of similarities and differences in outlook. After discussing this pattern, the book concludes with an assessment of the implications of the similarities and differences.
