Wraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. vii, [1], 79, [1] p. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "The absence of a single center of power or a few centers of power as was the case during the Cold War provides the opportunity even for small states, sandwiched between much stronger states, to move with comparative ease from one center of power to another. Even when small states become finally attached to one of these centers, their attachment is not absolute, and freedom of action is still preserved. This provides the opportunity for small states, such as Belarus, to move from one center of power to another or to engage in a sort of geopolitical gamesmanship. Dr. Dmitry Shlapentokh is an Associated Professor in the Department of History, Indiana University-South Bend. He is the author of several books and more than 100 articles.
