A chance for Russia

Article Abstract:

Cooperation with NATO could help to promote Russian integration with Europe. Russian involvement was highly significant in peacekeeping operations in Bosnia. Furthermore, Russia's importance to the West is more apparent in relation to security and defense, while integration with European and global markets will probably take longer. Russia has the military potential to contribute to European security through NATO, which would significantly affect European relations.

Chinese knots

Article Abstract:

The NATO bombing of a Chinese embassy in Belgrade may have dire consequences for future relations between China and America. Chinese officials, students, and the media rejected NATO's explanation that the bombing was a mistake and continue to see the US as a threat to China's political, economic, and cultural future. With Chinese public opinion backing Beijing, China has been able to wield more political power and influence in international relations.
