| Summary |
"Bridging the European Divide explores how key regional middle powers received and advocated their political power options and tells the story behind the motives of significant middle power decisions and repercussions. Such regional alignment decisions stemmed from the ideas, opportunities, and realities necessary to transform nation-states amid acute regional uncertainty, global upheaval, and international systemic change. To achieve a better understanding of how to bridge the post-9/11 gap between changes in material incentives and the role of ideas, Spero connects two different types of power politics - the methods of assessing security dilemmas and foreign policy decisions and the reasons that middle powers and their geopolitical roles matter to great powers."--BOOK JACKET |
