Summary

Ukraine and European Security highlights the important role that Ukraine is likely to play in the future evolution of European security relations. The contributors--Ukrainian, West European and North American alike--bring thoughtful and well-informed perspectives to this unique collection. The diverse presentations all reflect the understanding that, as the parallel processes of NATO and European Union enlargement move on, the critical position of Ukraine between Russia and "the West" will become even more apparent.
