These different approaches, combined with economic interdependence and geographic proximity, means both parties experience significant difficulties in shaping strategy and formulating agendas with regards to each other. The Russian leadership is well aware of the EU's "authority orientation" but fails to reliably predict foreign policy at the EU level, whilst the EU realizes Russia's "coercive orientation" in general, but cannot predict when and where coercive tools will be used next. Russia is gradually realizing the importance of authority, while the EU sees the necessity of coercion tools for coping with certain challenges. The learning process is ongoing but the basic distinction remains unchanged and so their approaches cannot be reconciled as long as both actors exist in their current form. Using a theoretical framework and case studies including Belarus, Georgia and Ukraine, Busygina examines the possibilities and constraints that arise when the "power of authority" and the "power of coercion" interact with each other, and how this interaction affects third parties. 410 0$aPost-Soviet politics. 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aPolitics$2OverDrive 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xForeign relations 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xForeign relations$zEuropean Union countries 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xForeign relations$zRussia (Federation) 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aPolitics. 676 $a341.242/20947 686 $aPOL000000$aPOL058000$2bisacsh 700 $aBusygina$b Irina$01726089 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910836794403321 996 $aRussia-EU relations and the common neighbourhood$94131777 997 $aUNINA
