Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores post-Soviet Eurasian regional security governance, as embedded in the military alliance of Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). CSTO was established in 2002 and consists of six post-Soviet countries: Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Moving studies of regional security governance beyond the so-called Eurocentrism trend expressed, inter alia, via the focus on Western military alliance, such as NATO, this book examines CSTO as a new, post-Soviet form of regional security cooperation by looking at the reasons and drivers behind the establishment of the post-Soviet Eurasian security governance; the organization's institutional design; the military capabilities of its member states; the degree of the members' integration within the alliance; the cooperation pattern adopted by CSTO members; as well as the effect and effectiveness of this military alliance. Igor Davidzon is an independent researcher in international relations. He previously completed post-doctoral research in the Center for Transnational Relations, Foreign and Security Policy at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. He is the author of Patterns of Conventional War fighting under the Nuclear Umbrella (2020).
