The negative-sum outcome we behold in today's Ukraine crisis is the tragic outcome of the zero-sum policies that were increasingly pursued by Russia, the United States, and the EU since the end of the Cold War. 'Everyone Loses expertly captures the origins and tragic consequences of the Ukraine crisis. Charap and Colton have produced a balanced, highly readable volume arguing that all sides have miscalculated. They off er constructive ideas for how relations can be improved. As tensions are now running dangerously high, that makes their book required reading for policy communities on both sides of the Atlantic.' Igor Ivanov, President, Russian International Aff airs Council, and former Foreign Minister of Russia 'Charap and Colton provide a timely, thoughtful and insightful account of a complicated region during a complicated historical period. A must-read for anyone looking to navigate disorder in Eurasia and the very real risks it poses to international peace and security.' William J. Burns, President, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and former US Deputy Secretary of State 'Understanding the Ukraine crisis is no easy task. This book deftly traces the regional and global roots of this major challenge to the post-Cold War order. It offers valuable recommendations on the steps needed to stabilise both Ukraine and the region as a whole.' Javier Solana, former Secretary-General of NATO, and former EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy 'Historically informed and analytically penetrating, this account of the crisis in Ukraine and other "in-between" areas should be at the top of the reading lists for scholars, policymakers and members of the interested public. What is revealed could be called a comedy of errors if the results were not so tragic. And if leaders in Russia and the West are to cope with the confl ict they have created, they should start by reading this study.' Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University 'This is a balanced and very readable book that also contains helpful maps and chronology. Given these qualities, as well as the book's scope and skilled review of various economic and security issues in Eurasia, the volume would serve as an ideal text for graduate and upper division undergraduate courses on international politics of central and eastern Europe and Eurasia.'Andrei P.
