The Level-of-Analysis Problem in the Past, Present and Future of EU-Russia Relations.
The level of analysis problem has always permeated EU-Russia relations. It has been approached in either a structural or an institutional way. This contributionsuggests a new, thematic, approach, which diff erentiates among long-term visionary goals, policy goals and implementation instruments. This new approach is applied to EU-Russia relations to draw attention to the fact that a qualitative improvement in the interaction between Moscow and Brussels can be made through the convergence on policy goals, which has so far been missing.

economic, geopolitical, and institutional crises. Focusing ...

Since the early 1990s, the EU (previously the EEC) has positioned itself as
a normative actor, thus ensuring the dominance of the neoliberal agenda
on the world stage. Some of its partners accepted this state of affairs,
while others, like Russia, advanced alternative interpretations of various
categories to challenge the EU’s hegemony. Moscow and Brussels failed to
establish a dialogue ...

are not interested in assessing the mobility of tourists, but rather of migrants who work in the EU. This
