The Ukraine debacle

Abstract/Sommario: Torn apart by ethnic strains and nationalism, Ukraine suddenly became a focal point on the international agenda, the real epicentre of European, United States and Russian negotiations. Based on his recent FEEM lecture, Anatol Lieven, internationally renowned scholar of geostrategic issues and security in Eurasia, analyses the origins of the present crisis and explores what it teaches about the making of Western transnational relations.
