ABSTRACT
This chapter starts by assessing the security policy coordination that exists in the framework of the CIS organization, especially schemes for regional forces. The main part of the chapter then analyzes the characteristics of subregionalism in security policy in different parts of the CIS, and the constraints upon its further development. The GUUAM grouping of Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Moldova, which combines states in several subregions, is examined in detail. The final section evaluates the role of the NATO Partnership for Peace (PFP)
program in security policy coordination in different subregions. The conclusion addresses broader questions about the contribution of subregional cooperation in security policy to the evolution of the CIS states.
