In this book Richard Sakwa provides a new analysis of the end of the
Cold War and the subsequent failure to create a comprehensive and
inclusive peace order in Europe. The end of the Cold War did not
create a sustainable peace system. Instead, for a quarter of a century
a 'cold peace' reflected the tension between cooperative and
competitive behaviour. None of the fundamental problems of European
security were resolved, and tensions accumulated. In 2014 the crisis
exploded in the form of conflict in Ukraine, provoking what some call
a 'new Cold War'. Russia against the Rest challenges the view that
this is a replay of the old conflict, explaining how the tensions
between Russia and the Atlantic community reflect a global realignment
of the international system. Sakwa provides a balanced and carefully
researched analysis of the trajectory of European and global politics
since the late 1980s.
