The Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the CFE Treaty, the book explores its significant role in shaping Russia's foreign and security policy. It highlights Moscow's persistent engagement with the treaty as a means to influence European security and manage the transition of conventional forces after the dissolution of the USSR. However, the treaty's limitations in curbing NATO's expansion led to a shift in Russia's strategy, culminating in Vladimir Putin's withdrawal from the agreement. The work utilizes primary sources and case studies, making it essential for scholars and policymakers interested in Russia's arms control strategies.
