Book Launch | Evaluating NATO Enlargement: From Cold War Victory to the Russia-Ukraine War

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the enlargement of NATO (from the late 1990s to early 2000s) has been blamed for the deterioration of NATO-Russia relations, Russia’s increasing belligerence and has been used as an excuse by the Russian government for its invasion of Ukraine. But NATO enlargement has also been incorporated into discussions on the ability of Europe to maintain its own security and the desire for greater European strategic autonomy, highlighted most recently by Finland&#x27;s induction into NATO. So, what is the history and consequences of NATO’s post-Cold War enlargement into Central and Eastern Europe? O﻿n the 17th of May 2023, HCSS will be hosting an online seminar to discuss NATO enlargement and its consequences. The online seminar follows the recent publication of <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/books/evaluating-nato-enlargement-from-cold-war-victory-to-the-russia-ukraine-war/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">E</a><a href="https://www.brookings.edu/books/evaluating-nato-enlargement-from-cold-war-victory-to-the-russia-ukraine-war/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">valuating NATO Enlargement: From Cold War Victory to the Russia-Ukraine War</a> by Palgrave Macmillan (Eds.
