OverviewThis book traces the shifting meanings of security and geopolitics in Central European states that acceded into the EU or NATO in 2004.

This book provides the first in-depth analysis of security discourse in the region. Full Product DetailsAuthor: M. KuusPublisher: Palgrave USA Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Edition: 2007 ed.
