Opis

This book explores how recently coherent and institutionalized spaces of communication and dialogue between Moscow and Brussels have fragmented into relations that, while certainly not cooperative, are also not necessarily adversarial.

Recenzje

"Hoffmann and Makarychev’s volume provides a compelling and in-depth account of the dramatic deterioration of EU-Russia relations. As post-Cold war models of the relationship fade, this book provides all those wishing to make sense of the new normal in EU-Russia relations with an essential chart to navigate the complexities of a fragmented relationship, which is neither cooperative nor, however, always conflictual." - Nathalie Tocci, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali and Honorary Professor at the University of Tübingen
