It perceives the evolution of the East European regional security complex as a struggle between the European Union's Kantian, win-win geopolitical vision and Russia's neoclassical geopolitics, also promoted by President Trump. In the most probable scenario, the latter approach will have the upper hand. The EU's post-Brexit control by the Franco-German axis will likely be followed by the geopolitical irrelevance of the EU due to the renationalization of member states' foreign policy, with Germany becoming the main West European actor. Consequently, Eastern Europe will be turned into the arena of a mainly three-cornered neoclassical geopolitics rivalry opposing Russia, the Franco-German axis and then Germany, and the US in alliance with the post-Brexit UK and certain East European states. The book will appeal to scholars across the fields of International Relations, Geopolitics, European Studies, and Area Studies. 000867841 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed April 13, 2018) 000867841 61020 $$aEuropean Union$$zGreat Britain. 000867841 650_0 $$aGeopolitics$$zEurope, Eastern. 000867841 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$y21st century. 000867841 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783319779195 000867841 852__ $$bebk 000867841 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-77920-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000867841 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:867841$$pGLOBAL_SET 000867841 980__ $$aEBOOK 000867841 980__ $$aBIB 000867841 982__ $$aEbook 000867841 983__ $$aOnline 000867841 994__ $$a92$$bISE
