It highlights the specific geopolitical risks that could, left unchecked, have global repercussions. The book shows how recent events have exasperated underlying problems that have been slowly destabilizing each of these regions for years. It also looks at the geopolitical constraints and objectives of the countries within these regions to build a basis for understanding their current and future security challenges. While doing so, the book discusses the European borderlands in a non-traditional way, proposing a specific framework to study them, going beyond historical analysis and employing a heuristic process and in-depth socio-economic analysis to understand regional power relations and trends. It develops the key concepts of "core borderland" and "geopolitical node" to understand the future challenges that Europe in particular and Eurasia, in general, will face, discussing specific features shaping current affairs and identifying the main drivers - countries and specific regional elements - for the future stability of the borderlands. This book will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, as well as policy-makers, practitioners, and international organizations interested in a better understanding of current and future challenges at Europe's borderlands and the security risks the European continent faces. 001472141 588__ $$aDescription based upon print version of record. 001472141 650_0 $$aGeopolitics$$zEurasia. 001472141 651_0 $$aEurasia$$xBoundaries. 001472141 651_0 $$aEurope$$xBoundaries. 001472141 651_0 $$aEurope$$xForeign relations$$zEurasia. 001472141 651_0 $$aEurasia$$xForeign relations$$zEurope. 001472141 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001472141 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aColibășanu, Antonia$$tGeopolitics, Geoeconomics and Borderlands$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031339394 001472141 830_0 $$aContributions to international relations. 001472141 852__ $$bebk 001472141 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-33940-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001472141 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1472141$$pGLOBAL_SET 001472141 980__ $$aBIB 001472141 980__ $$aEBOOK 001472141 982__ $$aEbook 001472141 983__ $$aOnline 001472141 994__ $$a92$$bISE
