The Conclusion of the Book. 330 $aThis book presents a fresh perspective on the geopolitical landscape surrounding NATO's enlargement, aptly termed "expansion by invitation." Looking beyond conventional narratives, it unravels the multifaceted outcomes of this process, extending beyond the initial optimism. While acknowledging the merits of NATO's expansion, the book scrutinizes its contentious side effects, notably the escalating militarization of the Baltic and Black Sea regions, heightened military expenditure, shifts toward offensive doctrines, and the surge in military exercises and incidents between NATO and Russia. In a world witnessing a renewed bipolarization akin to the Cold War era, the book underscores the need for NATO and Russia to de-escalate tensions and strive towards a transition from contemporary negative peace to a more constructive, positive peace. Devoid of bias, this book refrains from condemning the expansion process but rather calls for an acknowledgment of its consequences. It is an indispensable resource for academics seeking a nuanced understanding of NATO's expansion, challenging prevailing terminologies and offering insights into the complex dynamics of international security in Europe. 410 0$aContributions to International Relations,$x2731-507X 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aPeace 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aForeign Policy 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 676 $a355.031091821 700 $aEichler$b Jan$0864049 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910899892003321 996 $aNATO and the War in Ukraine$94213926 997 $aUNINA
