Without ignoring the importance of other chapters, the introduction, the first and the last chapter are outstanding. Not only do they provide a new approach concerning West/U.S.-Russian relations, but most importantly they create a new framework that can be applied in other cases, such as the Balkans or other secessionist movement in Europe and beyond.https://www.insightturkey.com/author/gloria-shkurti/near-abroad-putin-the-west-and-the-contest-over-ukraine-and-the-caucasushttps://www.insightturkey.com/author/gloria-shkurti/near-abroad-putin-the-west-and-the-contest-over-ukraine-and-the-caucasusSun, 01 Apr 2018 21:15:00 GMT
