Just as a protective barrier shields the bowling pins from the ball on a perfect collision course toward an inescapable strike, only NATO can secure countries like Ukraine and Georgia from ongoing and future Russian aggressions. The end of the Second World War stirred the pan-European debate on how to avoid future wars at all costs; when the current war, deadliest since WW2, ends, similar debates will be inevitable. This time, the question must be – how to ensure that Russia never again attacks its neighbors.
The answer to this question is in security guarantees, whether multilateral or bilateral, provided by the most powerful to the weakest or by many to the most vulnerable. In the current international security architecture, the only guarantor of such stability and security is NATO.
This volume is centered around the idea of security guarantees and foreign policy choices of the states (stuck) between Russia and the West.
