✦ Synopsis

This book utilises three theoretical models to analyse the defence conditions and preparedness of all the states of Eastern Europe. It considers the transition from Cold War communism to post-Cold War democracies, the stability of the East-Central European States, the precarious defence positions of the Baltic states and the uneven defence preparedness of the Balkan states.
