This book utilises three theoretical models to analyse the defence conditions and preparedness of all the states of Eastern Europe. It considers the transition from Cold War communism to post-Cold War democracies, the stability of the East-Central European States, the precarious defence positions of the Baltic states and the uneven defence preparedness of the Balkan states. -- .
