KrickusCarlisle, Pa :Strategic Studies Institute, U S Army War College,20091 online resource (ix, 111 pages)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-58487-419-8 Includes bibliographical references (pages 95-111).The author addresses the question of how to give Russia a voice but not a veto in a new European security system and provides some provocative recommendations. Most specifically, he proposes that the time has come to provide Russia with a NATO Membership Action Plan (MAP) and agrees that those who argue against it remain mired in a Cold War mindset that is out of sync with today's strategic realities. Ultimately, a campaign to include Russia in NATO may fail but at the very least, the endeavor deserves serious consideration. He also provides compelling reasons why U.S. defense analysts must consider several future outcomes for Russia. In addition to being the only state that is capable of devastating the United States in a nuclear exchange, most of the world's population and resources exist on the borders of its massive territory. Its future then, will shape the global strategic environment for decades to come.Security, InternationalEuropeNuclear nonproliferationNuclear arms controlRussia (Federation)Military relationsEuropeEuropeMilitary relationsRussia (Federation)Russia (Federation)Military relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesMilitary relationsRussia (Federation)Security, InternationalNuclear nonproliferationNuclear arms controlKrickus Richard J961836Army War College (U.S.).Strategic Studies InstitutePQKBBOOK9910345156503321Medvedev's plan2914885UNINA
