Medvedev's Plan: Giving Russia a Voice But Not a Veto in a New European Security System

摘要

The purpose of this monograph is to provide insight into the problems and prospects of the United States and Europe creating a new security relationship with Russiaone that can enhance the national security of all three of them. It will be comprised of three parts. First, it will address several compelling questions: What is the Russian case for a new security system. What are the arguments in opposition to it. And why, in spite of profound reservations about cooperation with Moscow, are Western statesmen prepared to consider it. In this connection, the factors that prevented a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the West will provide a framework for our analysis: in sum, the triangular relationship between deterrence, arms control, and conflict management.
