The start of the Special Military Operation (SMO) created a conceptual vacuum in the European Union’s policy toward Russia. By classifying Moscow as a strategic threat, Brussels curtailed all contacts with it, instead prioritizing sanctions and support for Ukraine. The aim of this article is to examine how decolonization, understood as a socio-political category, has ...

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 ...

The growth of populism in the EU member states, as a large-scale internal challenge to the European integration project, has a projection on foreign policy of both national states and the European Union. The EU foreign policy, towards Russia, is the area where the deviation of populist programs and strategies from the positions of the ...

Executive summary
On the occasion of the May 2003 Saint Petersburg EU-Russia Summit, the EU and Russia agreed to examine the conditions for visa-free travel as a “long-term perspective”. Ten years later, preparations for the introduction of a visa-free regime still continue within the context of the EU-Russia visa dialogue. The most important outcome of this dialogue is the adoption ...

Works that address European Union (EU)-Russia cooperation within the overarching project of the common space of freedom, security and justice (FSJ) often look at this ‘space’ as if it were regarded by both parties as a naturally coherent field, where cooperation had to be developed evenly in all of the sub-fields. Consequently, this misperception often leads to the conclusion ...

The article challenges the view that Russia’s goal in the post-Soviet space is to make the region an exclusive zone of Russian influence and keep other world powers out entirely. In fact, Russia has two policies towards the influence of other powers that are active in the region: a ‘business as usual’ approach, applied to ...

The issue of legal rapprochement between Russia and the European Union is extremely controversial. Russia has done much to bring its domestic law closer to European Union law, using European Union experience with institutional and legal construction. Not merely individual norms, but entire segments of the acquis communautaire became organic parts of Russian law. In ...

Over the past thirty years, relations between Russia and the EU have gone from the idea of a ‘Common European home’ and ‘the unification of everything except institutions’ to periods of fading partnership, culminating in the post-Crimean crisis and the current systemic confrontation over geopolitics and values. Today, the EU and Russia seem to be ...

Russia and the European Union. The article argues that Greater Eurasia, as a developing geo-economic and geostrategic
community, opens up opportunities ...

This chapter aims at identifying the specificity of the EU’s policy towards Russia today as it comes out in Brussels’s interpretation of resilience. To achieve this goal, this chapter uses contemporary academic debates on the concept of resilience and on pragmatism. The chapter then identifies with the help of critical discourse analysis[1] the most important connotations ...

As in other years, in 2018 Russia functioned as a house of mirrors for the EU and its member states, often distorting their image, sometimes reflecting them accurately, at other times making them look better than they were in reality. In this respect, five points deserve particular attention: the EU’s unity and solidarity; its values and identity; its ...

This chapter compares the interactions of the EU with Libya and Russia between the late 1990s until 2011, in the context of migration governance in the European “neighbourhood”, and, through the concept of policy transfer, explores the extent to which they invite a broader definition of the European neighbourhood. This comparison builds on crucial similarities ...

By analyzing the citation patterns of the academic articles on the EU–Russia cooperation in this area, we arrive at the conclusion that the Russian scholarship mostly does not ...
