Crimea, Global Rivalry, and the Vengeance of History [Hardcover]

Gardner examines the causes and consequences of Russia's annexation of Crimea. By analyzing alliance formations and the consequences of other annexations in world history, the book urges an alternative US-NATO-European-Japanese strategy toward both Russia and China in the effort to prevent a renewed arms race, if not global war.Hall Gardner is Professor and Chair of the International and Comparative Politics Department at American University of Paris, France.
