Strategic dynamics in the Nordic-Baltic region

Description:

"Whether it is a question of stabilizing U.S. and Alliance relations with Russia, adapting and enlarging Europe's primary security institutions, or restructuring military forces to meet the new challenges of Euro-Atlantic stability, what happens in the Nordic-Baltic region over the next several years can serve as a predictor for whether all of Europe will see peace and stability, the return of a cold war, or ongoing bouts of instability culminating in small but deadly wars on its periphery. The authors set forth a detailed examination of the new strategic dynamics at work in the Nordic-Baltic region and provide in-depth assessments of the security perspectives held by states bordering the Baltic Sea. The authors then examine current U.S. strategy toward the region and propose next steps for U.S. policy, including, most importantly, a policy for Baltic membership in NATO."--BOOK JACKET.
