Book Russia and Ukraine   s Peace Treaty

Download or read book Russia and Ukraine s Peace Treaty written by David Gomadza and published by David Gomadza. This book was released on with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hundred days after the war or special military operation and there are no signs that the war or this military operation will end soon. This can't be tolerated considering the huge number of civilian deaths. Even soldiers' lives are protected by our laws. Huge risks of a nuclear war. We strongly believe that the West is considering or will consider in the future the use of nuclear weapons to end the Russia and Ukraine war, that is, if the war persists. Surely, we don’t want another Hiroshima. Or they might mobilize and invade Russia. So we strongly recommend a peace treaty with immediate effect. Above all we can't tolerate the needlessly deaths of women, children and even soldiers. We are the new global leaders; Tomorrow's World Order.

Book Ukraine   Russia

Download or read book Ukraine Russia written by Anatol Lieven and published by US Institute of Peace Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalist Anatol Lieven here explores the complex ethnic and political relationship of Ukraine and Russia. Based on extensive interviews, Lieven provides a fascinating portrait of the diversity that is contemporary Ukraine and of its efforts to forge a national identity after three centuries of Russian rule. Lieven's journeys take him into ethnic Russian enclaves in Crimea and eastern Ukraine and to the western bastions of Ukrainian nationalism. But they also reveal an intermingling (and intermarriage) of both ethnic groups throughout much of the country. With trenchant observations and an eye for the telling detail, Lieven examines the policy implications of Eastern Europe's new political geography. Will ethnic coexistence endure in the face of economic hardship and the divisive issues left over from the Soviet era? Is it wise for the West to force the issue of Ukraine's membership in Western institutions--NATO first and foremost among them?

Book Everyone Loses

Download or read book Everyone Loses written by Samuel Charap and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disorder erupted in Ukraine in 2014, involving the overthrow of a sitting government, the Russian annexation of the Crimean peninsula, and a violent insurrection, supported by Moscow, in the east of the country. This Adelphi book argues that the crisis has yielded a ruinous outcome, in which all the parties are worse off and international security has deteriorated. This negative-sum scenario resulted from years of zero-sum behaviour on the part of Russia and the West in post-Soviet Eurasia, which the authors rigorously analyse. The rivalry was manageable in the early period after the Cold War, only to become entrenched and bitter a decade later. The upshot has been systematic losses for Russia, the West and the countries caught in between. All the governments involved must recognise that long-standing policies aimed at achieving one-sided advantage have reached a dead end, Charap and Colton argue, and commit to finding mutually acceptable alternatives through patient negotiation.

Book The Russian Ukrainian Friendship Treaty and the Search for Regional Stability in Eastern Europe

Download or read book The Russian Ukrainian Friendship Treaty and the Search for Regional Stability in Eastern Europe written by Dale B. Stewart and published by . This book was released on 1997-12-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991, world attention has focused on the future of the new independent states (NIS) in Central and Eastern Europe. Ukraine has been of particular importance because, m becoming an independent state, it has completely changed the geopolitics of Eastern Europe. Ukraine's independence pushed Russian borders 500 miles to the east and limited Russia's access to the Black Sea. Since 1991, Ukraine and Russia were unable to sign a Friendship Treaty recognizing each others borders. The signing of this treaty has appeared imminent since 1993, but was always delayed--most recently in October 1996. A series of contentious issues emerged which cast doubt not only on Ukraine's stability and future existence, but also on Russia's. All the post-Soviet Union arrangements were in question. After almost six years of negotiations, insult, and conilict, Russian President Boris Yeltsin and Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchina signed the treaty on 31 May 1997. In the end, it was NATO enlargement that forced Russia to sign the treaty and to recognize Ukraine as an independent state. This is a study of the difficult process and the issues that arose during negotiations.

Book What Peace Looks Like

Download or read book What Peace Looks Like written by Geoffrey Zachary and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-07-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In *What Peace Looks Like: Russia and Ukraine in the Future*, we embark on an intricate journey through potential pathways toward lasting peace and reconciliation between two historically intertwined yet frequently contentious nations. This book blends a variety of writing styles to offer a comprehensive, nuanced exploration of post-conflict scenarios, making it both an engaging read and a thoughtful analysis of geopolitical dynamics. Journalistic Narrative: The book starts by laying out the concrete events, agreements, and policies that have emerged as Russia and Ukraine navigate a complex peace process. From ceasefire agreements and economic partnerships to cultural exchanges and diplomatic negotiations, each chapter meticulously documents the milestones that shape the landscape of peace. This factual style not only informs but also provides a foundation of credibility, helping readers understand the concrete steps taken toward a more harmonious future. Speculative Fiction: To bring these scenarios to life, speculative fiction elements are woven into the narrative, presenting vivid "future history" accounts. Imagine a time when joint Russian-Ukrainian space missions symbolize a new era of cooperation, or when students from both nations study together, free from the shadow of conflict. These imagined futures help readers visualize what peace might truly look like, making abstract concepts tangible and highlighting the transformative potential of reconciliation. Academic Analysis: Deepening the discussion, the book incorporates well-researched historical context and political analysis. By drawing parallels with other historical peace processes, such as the post-WWII reconciliation between France and Germany, the book provides a rich framework for understanding the current situation. It examines the socio-political dynamics, economic impacts, and international relations that shape the path to peace, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the underlying factors at play. Personal Stories: Central to the narrative are the personal stories of individuals affected by the conflict. Through fictional or carefully anonymized real accounts, the book humanizes the larger geopolitical issues, giving voice to those who have lived through the strife. These stories of hardship, hope, and resilience provide a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict and the importance of peace. Multimodal Presentation: The book is enriched with maps, infographics, and hypothetical documents, breaking up the text and providing visual context. For instance, maps may detail the changes in territorial control or the locations of joint cultural projects, while infographics could illustrate shifts in public opinion or economic trends. Hypothetical documents, such as a fictional "Declaration of Youth Unity," serve as thought-provoking additions that deepen the reader's engagement. Dialogue and Interview Format: In imagined interviews and roundtable discussions, fictional experts and stakeholders explore different viewpoints on complex issues. These dialogues provide a platform for diverse perspectives, from political analysts and educators to young activists and business leaders. They discuss the challenges and opportunities of the peace process, offering readers a well-rounded understanding of the multifaceted nature of reconciliation.

Book The Unknown Peace Agreement

Download or read book The Unknown Peace Agreement written by John J. Maresca and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “Joint Declaration of Twenty-two States,” signed in Paris on November 19, 1990 by the Chiefs of State or Government of all the countries which participated in World War Two in Europe, is the closest document we will ever have to a true “peace treaty” concluding World War II in Europe. In his new book, retired United States Ambassador John Maresca, who led the American participation in the negotiations, explains how this document was quietly negotiated following the reunification of Germany and in view of Soviet interest in normalizing their relations with Europe. With the reunification of Germany which had just taken place it was, for the first time since the end of the war, possible to have a formal agreement that the war was over, and the countries concerned were all gathering for a summit-level signing ceremony in Paris. With Gorbachev interested in more positive relations with Europe, and with the formal reunification of Germany, such an agreement was — for the first time — possible. All the leaders coming to the Paris summit had an interest in a formal conclusion to the War, and this gave impetus for the negotiators in Vienna to draft a document intended to normalize relations among them. The Joint Declaration was negotiated carefully, and privately, among the Ambassadors representing the countries which had participated, in one way or another, in World War Two in Europe, and the resulting document -- the “Joint Declaration” — was signed, at the summit level, at the Elysée Palace in Paris. But it was overshadowed at the time by the Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe — signed at the same signature event — and has remained un-noticed since then. No one could possibly have foreseen that the USSR would be dissolved about one year later, making it impossible to negotiate a more formal treaty to close World War II in Europe. The “Joint Declaration” thus remains the closest document the world will ever see to a formal “Peace Treaty” concluding World War Two in Europe. It was signed by all the Chiefs of State or Government of all the countries which participated in World War II in Europe.

Book The Emergence of Russian Foreign Policy

Download or read book The Emergence of Russian Foreign Policy written by Leon Rabinovich Aron and published by US Institute of Peace Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of a new Russia--a post-communist European state with a vast store of nuclear arms--raises many complex questions. What kind of foreign and defense policies will Russian pursue into the 21st century? What will be the impact of the loss of the former empire? And what are the implications for western policymakers?This volume attempts to answer those questions by examining Russia's relations with the Near Abroad (the newly independent states on its borders), the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and its Pacific neighbors, as well as its peacekeeping role in the former Soviet states. In addition, the book explores the historic patterns of Russian foreign policy (issues of internationalism, accommodation, "Soviet Russia"), the Soviet legacy, institutional mechanisms for policymaking, and the effects of domestic policy.The Emergence of Russian Foreign Policy concludes with a discussion of western perceptions of Russian's evolving national security doctrine and the future of Russian-American strategic relations.

Book Winning and Losing the Nuclear Peace

Download or read book Winning and Losing the Nuclear Peace written by Michael Krepon and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to the history of nuclear arms control by a wise eavesdropper and masterful storyteller, Michael Krepon. The greatest unacknowledged diplomatic achievement of the Cold War was the absence of mushroom clouds. Deterrence alone was too dangerous to succeed; it needed arms control to prevent nuclear warfare. So, U.S. and Soviet leaders ventured into the unknown to devise guardrails for nuclear arms control and to treat the Bomb differently than other weapons. Against the odds, they succeeded. Nuclear weapons have not been used in warfare for three quarters of a century. This book is the first in-depth history of how the nuclear peace was won by complementing deterrence with reassurance, and then jeopardized by discarding arms control after the Cold War ended. Winning and Losing the Nuclear Peace tells a remarkable story of high-wire acts of diplomacy, close calls, dogged persistence, and extraordinary success. Michael Krepon brings to life the pitched battles between arms controllers and advocates of nuclear deterrence, the ironic twists and unexpected outcomes from Truman to Trump. What began with a ban on atmospheric testing and a nonproliferation treaty reached its apogee with treaties that mandated deep cuts and corralled "loose nukes" after the Soviet Union imploded. After the Cold War ended, much of this diplomatic accomplishment was cast aside in favor of freedom of action. The nuclear peace is now imperiled by no less than four nuclear-armed rivalries. Arms control needs to be revived and reimagined for Russia and China to prevent nuclear warfare. New guardrails have to be erected. Winning and Losing the Nuclear Peace is an engaging account of how the practice of arms control was built from scratch, how it was torn down, and how it can be rebuilt.

Book NATO s Return to Europe

Download or read book NATO s Return to Europe written by Rebecca R. Moore and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATO’s 2010 Strategic Concept officially broadened the alliance’s mission beyond collective defense, reflecting a peaceful Europe and changes in alliance activities. NATO had become an international security facilitator, a crisis-manager even outside Europe, and a liberal democratic club as much as a mutual-defense organization. However, Russia’s re-entry into great power politics has changed NATO’s strategic calculus. Russia’s aggressive annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its ongoing military support for Ukrainian separatists dramatically altered the strategic environment and called into question the liberal European security order. States bordering Russia, many of which are now NATO members, are worried, and the alliance is divided over assessments of Russia’s behavior. Against the backdrop of Russia’s new assertiveness, an international group of scholars examines a broad range of issues in the interest of not only explaining recent alliance developments but also making recommendations about critical choices confronting the NATO allies. While a renewed emphasis on collective defense is clearly a priority, this volume’s contributors caution against an overcorrection, which would leave the alliance too inwardly focused, play into Russia’s hand, and exacerbate regional fault lines always just below the surface at NATO. This volume places rapid-fire events in theoretical perspective and will be useful to foreign policy students, scholars, and practitioners alike.

Book Understanding Ukrainian Politics  Power  Politics  and Institutional Design

Download or read book Understanding Ukrainian Politics Power Politics and Institutional Design written by Paul D'Anieri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukraine made headlines around the world during the winter of 2004-05 as the colorful banners of the Orange Revolution unfurled against the snowy backdrop of Kyiv, signaling the bright promise of democratic rebirth. But is that what is really happening in Ukraine? In the early post-Soviet period, Ukraine appeared to be firmly on the path to democracy. The peaceful transfer of power from Leonid Kravchuk to Leonid Kuchma in the election of 1994, followed by the adoption of a western-style democratic constitution in 1996, seemed to complete the picture. But the Kuchma presidency was soon clouded by dark rumors of corruption and even political murder, and by 2004 the country was in full-blown political crisis. A three-stage presidential contest was ultimately won by Viktor Yushchenko, who took office in 2005 and appointed Yulia Tymoshenko as premier, but the turmoil was far from over. The new government quickly faltered and splintered. This introduction to Ukrainian politics looks beyond these dramatic events and compelling personalities to identify the actual play of power in Ukraine and the operation of its political system. The author seeks to explain how it is that, after each new beginning, power politics has trumped democratic institution-building in Ukraine, as in so many other post-Soviet states. What is really at work here, and how can Ukraine break the cycle of hope and disillusionment?
