Rezensionen
"The book represents a valuable contribution to our knowledge of foreign and security politics in (and of) Central Eastern Europe. All the entries are up-to-date and empirically rich, and most fit into the neorealist approach. This fact increases the coherence of the entire volume. ... Given the increasing importance of Central and Eastern European affairs for general European international relations, even readers interested primarily in Western Europe will benefit a lot from getting rich contextualization the volume offers." (Vít Hlousek, French Politics, Vol 21 (4), December2023)
