Routledge - Deterring Russia in Europe: Defence Strategies

Explore the shifting landscape of European security in this edited volume from Routledge. Following the Crimean intervention, the concept of deterrence has returned to the center of academic and policy debates after nearly twenty-five years of relative absence. This book provides a deep look into how eastern and northern European states are re-evaluating their security postures in response to Russia's actions. Since the annexation of Crimea and the military conflict in the Donbass region, neighboring states have had to revise their assessments of Russian policies and intentions. This text examines how the specific approach used by Russia in Ukraine has changed the lessons learned from Cold War deterrence. It is an essential resource for anyone studying contemporary security studies and the evolving defense efforts of European nations facing modern geopolitical challenges.
