This is the first scholarly work on the Ukrainian unrest and the tragic downing of MH17. It offers an analysis that challenges the Western consensus surrounding these events, emphasising the geopolitical and economic context of the West's standoff with Russia, the BRICS bloc, and the struggles over the EU's energy supply. Based on previously unpublished government and NATO documents as well as a wide array of sources this book offers an analysis of global political economy and contemporary debates about Russia and East-West relations.Geopolitical economy.Aircraft accidentsInvestigationUkraineMalaysia Airlines Flight 17 Crash, Ukraine, 2014Western countriesForeign relationsRussia (Federation)Russia (Federation)Foreign relationsWestern countriesUkrainePolitics and government1991-Electronic books.
