Subject(s): Summary: Examines the dilemma facing Western policy makers of whether or not to admit to membership of NATO and or the European Union all those former Soviet states bordering Russia which wish to join. These are the countries which fear Russia most, but whose integration into Western institutions provokes Russia most, and in turn may add unintended support to anti-democratic forces within Russia itself. The book considers individual countries and seeks to establish whether the Iron Curtain will merely move eastwards, or will the states in question become another buffer zone, or will they become links in improving east west relations.
