ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We would like to thank the Norwegian Command and Staff College and the University of Oslo for their financial and other support for this book project. Our work matured in discussions at the Staff College about how Europe and Russia seem to misunderstand each other at a time when there is a strong requirement to do the opposite. We would also like to thank Birgitte Grande and Olav Aalberg at the Norwegian Defence University College for their help with the cover illustration and the editing of our English.
