Limiting Institutions?: The Challenge of Eurasian Security Governance
- Book Review,
by S. Victor Papacosma (Editor)
Review
"With the collapse of the Soviet empire and the emergence of Eurasia as a central focus of world politics, the authors address the question of the nature of this new global system and security problems. The central question addressed is whether or not Western values and institutional forms are appropriate for an international system including Central and East Asian states with political and diplomatic traditions differing from the post-Westphalian European order. No question is more central to international peace and global security in the 21st century."--Robert Gilpin, Eisenhower Professor Emeritus, Princeton University

Book Description
Limiting Institutions examines the security threats in Eurasia and the role of institutions in the post-Cold War international environment. It looks at both the crucial aspect of foreign policy as well as a theoretical area of security studies and its impact in the former Soviet States including Russia, Belarus, Armenia, the Ukraine and Moldova. The first section addresses the security threats to this area of the world, and examines the range of responses open to European countries and to the US. Threats such as ethnic conflict, transnational crime, and environmental and energy security issues are examined in depth. The second section addresses the role that international institutions can perhaps play as arbiters of conflict and facilitators of cooperation in the region.
