US-EU-Russia Rivalry cover

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the unfolding US–EU–Russia rivalry in the Euro-Atlantic from 1992 to 2025. Drawing on a novel theory termed neo-offensive realism, it examines why, where, how and whether this competition has intensified in the Euro-Atlantic region, particularly in the aftermath of the Russo–Ukrainian war. It advances a cross-level, multi-actor framework, demonstrating how system- and unit-level forces interact to shape US–EU–Russia rivalry across a diverse range of states and quasi-states in the Euro-Atlantic.

We might once have spoken about cooperation but that seems a great deal more fraught in the Putin-Trump era. Brian Fong’s latest book is timely and significant. His subject matter is substantial and substantive, and the case studies, ranging from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, reveal well the political geographies at stake. Europe and Europeans are in the cross-hairs. -- Klaus Dodds, Middlesex University London
