"…D'Anieri's book provides a vivid discussion of the developing relationship between these two important countries, thereby opening a forum for what will certainly be a fascinating topic for years to come." — Slavic Review"…offers a sound practical and theoretical footing on which to understand the issues surrounding Ukrainian-Russian interdependence, as they currently stand and as they may be played out in the future." — Millennium: Journal of International Studies"The author skillfully blends empirical research with intelligent use of theory. In particular, the distinction between autonomy and sovereignty is a thoughtful and often productive one, as is the discussion of trade-offs between these values and prosperity. I also appreciated the fact that the author covers a fairly wide range of relevant issues, including economic as well as military aspects of the Russia-Ukraine relationship. The book is filled with interesting and provocative insights."— Douglas W. Blum, Providence College"The author has taken an important topic in a new and important aspect of international relations and competently illuminated its many facets. He has shown good organizational skills and scholarship in marshaling the facts and arguments on this important topic. There are many solid insights into the problem, as well as an attempt to show how the scholarly literature on economic interdependence and sovereignty might be applied to the Ukrainian case." —Sherman W. Garnett, The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
