Could Russia, their old adversary, be integrated into the liberal international order? What roles should former Soviet republics and satellite states in Eastern and Central Europe play in the Euro-Atlantic security system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese questions have taken on renewed significance since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin has portrayed Russia as the victim of Western expansionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis deeply researched book offers new perspective on the NATO-Russia relationship through the eyes of Strobe Talbott, a deputy secretary of state for seven years under President Bill Clinton and the key US diplomatic broker for the former USSR. Stephan Kieninger traces the Clinton administration’s efforts to engage Russia and enlarge NATO at the same time, as elements of a new European security architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Talbott’s diaries, as well as US and European archives and extensive interviews with former government officials, he sheds light on NATO’s opening, its missions in Bosnia and Kosovo, and other vexed issues. Kieninger argues that a careful look at Talbott’s statecraft rebuts Putin’s claims that the West exploited Russia’s weakness after the Cold War, demonstrating that the Clinton administration and its NATO allies sought to include Russia at every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn illuminating and comprehensive account of US diplomacy during the Clinton years, \u003ci\u003eSecuring Peace in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e provides vital insight into the complex relations between Russia and the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46792963031276,"sku":"9780231217712","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8233823482270.jpg?v=1757011568"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/stephan-kieninger.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
