Description
Europe’s Eastern Crisis provides a comprehensive analysis of the geopolitical dynamics that have shaped relations between Western Europe and its eastern neighbors. Richard Youngs explores the fundamental asymmetries—in military power, economic development, and political influence—that underpin regional instability and conflict.
Drawing on historical context and contemporary case studies, Youngs examines how these power imbalances have manifested in territorial disputes, security dilemmas, and competing visions for European integration. The book addresses the role of major powers, the aspirations of smaller nations, and the institutional frameworks attempting to manage these tensions.
Published by Cambridge University Press, this work offers essential insights for understanding modern European geopolitics, the Ukraine crisis, NATO expansion debates, and the broader question of how Europe can address regional asymmetries and build sustainable peace structures in an increasingly multipolar world.
