Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security Dynamics in the Former Soviet Bloc focuses on four former Soviet sub-regions (the Baltic Sea region, the Slavic republics, the Black Sea region, and Central Asia) to explore the degree to which 'democratic security', which includes de-politicisation of, and civilian oversight of, the military, resolution of conflicts by international cooperation, and involvement in international organisations. It examines how far states in these regions have developed cooperative foreign and security policies towards their immediate neighbours and key Western states and organisations, explores the interplay between internal and external aspects of democratic security building, and uses case-study examples to show how inter-state bi-lateral and multi-lateral relations are developing.

Download or read book Energy Security in a Time of Plenty written by Patrick Clawson and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy supply trends are good for Western security. Dependence on the volatile Persian Gulf may increase only slightly, as additional supplies come from stable pro-Western areas, such as Norway and Latin America. Also, the cost of producing oil is dropping thanks to the information revolution. In spite of East Asia's rapid growth, world oil demand is unlikely to grow each year by more than 1.5-2.0 million barrels per day (mbd). East Asian growth is concentrated in industries that use little energy. Oil demand growth in both China and the former Soviet Union will be modest as they shut or modernize energy-wasting heavy industries. Market forces increasingly determine what happens in the energy business, except in the Caspian basin where geopolitical factors will determine whether the region's rich oil and gas resources will be brought to market. An energy security issue for the coming decade will be adjusting to the next energy trade pattern, in which East Asia and the Persian Gulf become more tightly tied-each more reliant on the other.
Download or read book Security Implications of Alternative Soviet Energy Policies Toward Europe 1976 1981 written by Karl F. Spielmann jr. and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the basis of estimates, four alternative Soviet export policies are posited: (1) Eastern Europe does not receive any oil from the Soviet Union; (2) all East European oil needs are satisfied by the USSR; (3) East European oil needs are partially satisfied by the USSR; and (4) consumption is restricted in the Soviet Union and East Europe. These alternatives are then discussed in terms of their economic impact on the bloc and in the light of Soviet political and security interests in Europe. The impact of the alternative Soviet export policies on Western security interests is analyzed against the backdrop of the disruptive effects of the 1973-74 energy crisis on the Western alliance and Western Europe's energy balance for the 1976-81 period. The USSR's potential to exert leverage on the countries of Western Europe via energy exports is evaluated. The broader effects of Soviet energy policies on the comparative cohesion of the Eastern and Western alliance systems are given particular consideration.

Download or read book Russian Energy Power and Foreign Relations written by Jeronim Perovic and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-02-20 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Russia's new assertiveness and the role of energy as a key factor in shaping the country's behavior in international relations, and in building political and economic power domestically, since the 1990s. Energy transformed Russia's fortunes after its decline during the 1990s. The wealth generated from energy exports sparked economic recovery and political stabilization, and has significantly contributed to Russia's assertiveness as a great power. Energy has been a key factor in shaping Russia's foreign relations in both the Eurasian and global context. This development raises a host of questions for both Russia and the West about the stability of the Russian economy, how Russia will use the power it gains from its energy wealth, and how the West should react to Russia's new-found political weight. Given that energy is likely to remain at the top of the global political agenda for some time to come, and Russia's role as a key energy supplier to Europe is unlikely to diminish soon, this book sheds light on one of the key security concerns of the 21st century: where is Russia headed and how does energy affect the changing dynamics of Russia's relations with Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific region. This book will be of interest to students of Russian politics, energy security, international relations and foreign policy in general.

Download or read book The D tente Deception written by Douglas Rivero and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Détente Deception examines the competition between the U.S.-led Western bloc and the Soviet bloc in the less developed world during the final years of Détente. Rivero assesses whether or not the Soviet bloc pushed for strategic gains in the Third World and whether this contributed to the U.S. decision to abandon Détente in 1979. This view is articulated by many acclaimed scholars such as Stephen Walt (1992), John Gaddis (1997), and Vladislav Zubok (2007). They make the case that during the final years of Détente and throughout the 1980s, U.S. policy in places such as Nicaragua and Angola was a calculated response to Soviet aggression in the less-developed world. This book challenges this position as the quantitative evidence points to U.S. aggression. Not only did the Western bloc push to maintain dominance over the Third World, archival evidence also suggests the US made significant efforts in Eastern Europe and Afghanistan during the final years of Détente to dismantle the Soviet bloc.
