Routledge Europe, Russia and the Liberal World Order Book

Explore the complex dynamics of international relations in this academic study from Routledge. Part of the Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series, this book examines the relationship between Russia and Europe/EU through the lens of international relations research. It investigates how the liberal world order, established during the Cold War, attempted to maintain a global balance of power and a highly institutionalized framework. The text traces the transition from the early 1990s, a period marked by high hopes for a new era of security and cooperation across all of Europe, including Russia. By analyzing the practical essence of these relations, the book provides a deep look at how power and morality function within the global system. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the evolution of European security and the shifting structures of global politics following the Cold War.
