State behavior during the Ukrainian crisis: the perspectives of Romania, France, and the United States

Abstract

Why has the Western community reacted inconsistently towards the Ukrainian crisis? This is a legitimate question to understand the contemporary global environment. This monograph argues that a state's reaction towards a crisis is a function of multiple variables. Despite embracing the same liberal democratic values and principles, the states have behaved according to a peculiar pattern. The states' reactions depend on the geographical proximity to the crisis, the cultural-historical connectivity with involved actors, the actors' economic interdependence, and national interests and preferences.
