Description: Despite increasing awareness and citizen activism, the environmental crisis in the former Soviet bloc has not abated since the collapse of communism. The proliferation of new countries and the intensification of economic problems have complicated the search for solutions. This volume examines the manner in which environmental deterioration poses new threats to the quality of life, stability, and security in the region.
