Recenzii
'This book represents a significant contribution to the balance of power literature, and offers a novel interpretation of the political and security dimensions of relations between Russia and the former Soviet Republics. Rarely does one see such an excellent use of theory to illuminate political relations and vice versa. This is must reading for balance of power theorists as well as for thinkers interested in the former Soviet Republics.' Steve A. Yetiv, Old Dominion University, UK 'Students, scholars and members of the policy community can all benefit from reading this book.' Slavic Review

Descriere
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, fifteen newly independent states emerged, some more ready than others. Some states decided to remain in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and this book focuses primary attention on these cases.
