Presenting case studies on various CEE countries, it highlights the persistence of non-democratic political trends in the region, with particular emphasis on authoritarianism in Belarus and the illiberal shift in the politics of Hungary and Poland. Also, the book examines the growing geopolitical and military rivalry between the West and Russia in the CEE region, which led to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. After addressing the increasing involvement of external entities such as NATO, the EU, the USA, Germany, France, and China, it highlights serious internal and external challenges to the democratic institutions and international security of CEE that call for new formats of multilateral cooperation to be established by the regions countries. This book is intended for scholars and students of European politics, international relations and security studies, and for anyone interested in the political and security challenges facing the CEE region. 001454680 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001454680 650_0 $$aNational security$$zEurope, Central. 001454680 650_0 $$aNational security$$zEurope, Eastern. 001454680 651_0 $$aEurope, Central$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 001454680 651_0 $$aEurope, Eastern$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 001454680 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001454680 7001_ $$aZięba, Ryszard,$$eeditor. 001454680 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aZięba, Ryszard$$tPolitics and Security of Central and Eastern Europe$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031164187 001454680 830_0 $$aContributions to political science. 001454680 852__ $$bebk 001454680 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-16419-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001454680 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1454680$$pGLOBAL_SET 001454680 980__ $$aBIB 001454680 980__ $$aEBOOK 001454680 982__ $$aEbook 001454680 983__ $$aOnline 001454680 994__ $$a92$$bISE
