NATO Enlargement and the Baltic States : What Can the Great Powers Do?

The author presents a detailed and extensive analysis of three governments' views on Baltic and European security. The actions of Russia, Germany, and the United States will determine the limits of the possible in constructing Baltic security for the foreseeable future. Their views on regional security are materially shaped by and influence their larger views on their mutual relations and policy towards Europe. Their views also demonstrate the complexity of the issues involved in constructing Baltic, not to mention European, security. Through his analysis, the author hopes to illuminate much of what is happening in the NATO enlargement process and why it has taken its current shape.Army War Coll Strategic Studies Inst Carlisle Barracks PA is the author of 'NATO Enlargement and the Baltic States : What Can the Great Powers Do?', published 1997 under ISBN 9781423566854 and ISBN 1423566858.
