Inclusion of the Baltic States and of Ukraine in NATO would stabilize the region by helping the Russian democrats to concentrate on building a genuinely democratic, market-oriented Russian national state, instead of succumbing to the temptation to restore the Soviet Union. Ukraine could also contribute to NATO a sizable conventional military force and a prime strategic area; the Baltic States offer a prime location and an indomitable spirit. The Balts and Ukraine will help NATO when finally admitted as full members. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing polling data, printed material, and interviews with Lithuanian and Ukrainian diplomats, the book convincingly shows the soundness of the Baltic and Ukrainian security goals without glossing over some difficulties, both internal and external.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yaroslav Bilinsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275963632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275963637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.38w x 0.71d","brand":"Yaroslav Bilinsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419035418879,"sku":"9780275963637","price":124.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7024e946-64d5-47a9-a24e-5ffadf315067.jpg?v=1761509057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/endgame-in-natos-enlargement-yaroslav-bilinsky-9780275963637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
