Presenting case studies on various CEE countries, it highlights the persistence of non-democratic political trends in the region, with particular emphasis on authoritarianism in Belarus and the illiberal shift in the politics of Hungary and Poland. Also, the book examines the growing geopolitical and military rivalry between the West and Russia in the CEE region, which led to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. After addressing the increasing involvement of external entities such as NATO, the EU, the USA, Germany, France, and China, it highlights serious internal and external challenges to the democratic institutions and international security of CEE that call for new formats of multilateral cooperation to be established by the region?s countries. This book is intended for scholars and students of European politics, international relations and security studies, and for anyone interested in the political and security challenges facing the CEE region. 410 0$aContributions to Political Science,$x2198-7297 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aComparative government 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aComparative Politics 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 14$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 676 $a355.03 676 $a355.033043 702 $aZie?ba$b Ryszard 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910672438503321 996 $aPolitics and Security of Central and Eastern Europe$93362945 997 $aUNINA
