This work provides an examination of the political issues surrounding the fate of ethnic Russians who, since the beginning of 1992, have found themselves living in non-Russian nation-states. Analysis focuses on three areas: relations between expatriate Russian-speaking communities and their host populations; the impact of expatriate issues on Russian domestic politics, such as the sensitive issue of the Crimea; and the role of the new Russian diaspora in relations between the states of the former Soviet Union. Detailed case studies are provided of the development of a national identity within the Russian-speaking communities of five Soviet Republics: Estonia, Latvia, Moldova, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

Focusing on conventional weapons, rather than nuclear, biological and chemical ones, this book draws attention to important differences, within the EU, between the trade in finished weapons and the technology used to make them. It examines West European efforts since 1945 to manage both sides of conventional defence-related trade, and the political, industrial, technological and conceptual obstacles to effective mulitlateral co-ordination and regulation. The book argues that, in current European and international circumstances, recent EU initiatives have limited prospects and may prove to be counterproductive.

A politically stable Ukraine at peace with its neighbours is essential for European security. This study analyzes the most frequently voiced concerns in Europe over Ukraine's independence: the evolution of democracy, the potential of ethnic Russian-based anti-independence mobilization, and the troubled Ukrainian-Russian relationship. After outlining the main political developments in Ukraine since 1991 the author discusses two potential challenges: the standing of anti-democratic political forces and the possibility of military involvement in politics. He assesses the likelihood of separatism in eastern and southern Ukraine and Crimea, and pressures for reintegration with Russia. He analyzes key issues of controversy in Ukrainian-Russian relations, as well as Ukraine's relations with its other neighbours, and considers alternative scenarios for future ties between Moscow and Kiev. A range of sources is used to identify how far the political and foreign policy stability of Ukraine is likely to be reinforced

The debate on the "architecture" of European security may have moved towards a conclusion during 1996. There is a new air of compromise between the US and Europe with France's rapprochement with NATO, the US acceptance of a European Security and Defence Identity within the Alliance, and agreement on the idea of a Combined Joint Task Force. This work examines the background to the development of the current debate, what a European Security and Defence Identity amounts to, and whether the compromise is durable.

Has the 20th century been one of steady decline for British foreign policy? Can there be a distinct British foreign policy in age of regionalism and globalization? This study challenges perceptions of irrevocable decline and suggests a more balanced assessment of Britain's strengths and weaknesses. As "high politics", including security concerns diminish in importance, economic and commercial concerns increasingly seem to dictate foreign policy. On the assumption that what the population seeks is a combination of physical security, prosperity and what could be termed "moral self-approbation", this study suggests ways in which Britain could capitalize on its influence and assets to promote its interests. A framework is provided for thinking about British foreign policy at a time when globalization, multinational companies, NGOs, the European Union and other factors increasingly constrain the freedom of government and the traditional role of the foreign office.

Ensuring stability and prosperity for post-Cold War Europe will depend heavily on successful eastward enlargement of the EU. But enlargement raises difficult issues for the EU and the applicant countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Is the EU capable of reforming its institutions and policies to cope with 25 or more members? Which Central and East Europeans will join, and when? How can it be ensured that enlargement will bring the economic and security benefits expected of it? This study examines in detail the political, economic and security implications of eastward enlargement for both East and West, presenting analyses of policy issues (such as the EU budget and pre-accession strategy) and of the economic integration likely before and after accession. Based on an extensive series of interviews with ministers, diplomats, policy-makers, academics and journalists throughout Europe, the book also provides an overview of expectations and attitudes towards enlargement within the EU and in the applicant countries.
