Overview

Does Russian aggression today mean the same thing it did during the Cold War? With tensions in Europe and the Middle East on the rise because of Russia's military incursions in these regions, many are wondering if the United States is reliving a prolonged period of chess with its old adversary. What has changed since the 1990s? Will Africa or the Arctic be the new staging ground for conflict? Is China the new opponent, rather than Russia? This anthology looks at the complex geopolitical landscape that has emerged from the ashes of the Cold War. Experts provide nuanced analyses of real life political and social issues that appear to be driving Russia, China, and the United States toward conflict. Readers will gain valuable context to rapidly changing news events.
