The Rise of Nations in the Soviet Union: American Foreign Policy and the Disintegration of the USSRCouncil on Foreign Relations, 1991 - 120 sivua In this collection of essays, five experts on the Soviet Union describe the disintegration of the Soviet empire, and its implications for American policy. It begins with a historical overview of the multinational character of Russia and the Soviet Union, with special attention to the similarities and differences between the present moment and the years immediately following the revolution of 1917. Other essays assess the strength of nationalism in the Soviet West--the Baltics, the Slavic republics of Belorussia, Ukraine, and Russia, and Moldova; and the Soviet South, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the five largely Muslim republics of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kirghizia). The volume concludes with a look at the issues that the upheaval in the 15 republics presents for U.S. foreign and security policy. ISBN 0-87609-100-1 (pbk.): $14.95. |

Sivu 57 - Security will pose the greatest challenge for the United States. With the end of the Cold War, the United States has emerged as the only genuine world power, a role for which the country is, understandably, unprepared. As the American involvement in Iraq suggests, the logic of "unipolarity" may force the 21 United States into becoming the world's sole policeman.
