Despite economic interdependence, strategic partnership, official declarations of belonging culturally and historically to the same ?European family? and in spite of Russia?s stated interest in establishing an economic community stretching from Lisbon to Vladivostok, the two actors found it difficult to agree on important issues. The conflictual atmosphere between the EU and Russia has three main dimensions: the normative issue, energy relations, and the shared neighbourhood with the latter being particularly salient after the launch of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) in 2009. The former Soviet space is at the core of Russian foreign policy. Moscow?s special interest in this area results from economic factors, diaspora issues, and, most importantly, from its perceived security need. Obsessed by a fear of being encircled by enemies, Russia sees its hegemony over the former Soviet republics as paramount to the protection of its own borders. Therefore, the rapprochement of any other actor towards this region is regarded with high suspicion. Against this background, Vasile Rotaru analyzes EU-Russia relations with a particular emphasis on the impact of the EaP on Moscow?s relations with Brussels. He argues that the EaP represented a turning point in EU-Russia relations, determining Moscow to revise its attitude towards the Union. Rotaru explains that, even if the EaP was Brussels? initiative, the Partnership met the aspirations of the six former Soviet republics. Moreover, despite its opposition towards the EU?s initiative, Russia itself acted involuntarily as a propeller of the EaP. By aiming to keep the former Soviet republics close, Moscow often conducts an assertive, aggressive policy in the ?near abroad.? This strategy, however, had mostly opposite effects, causing Russia?s neighbors to look elsewhere for support of their sovereignty. From this perspective, the rapprochement of Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, and the three Caucasus republics with the EU has not been determined only by Brussels? prosperity and soft-power attractiveness but also by existential fears in the former Soviet republics. The book appeals to a wide range of students, researchers, and professors specializing on Russia, the EU, and the former Soviet space in the fields of International Relations, Foreign Policy Analysis, and Security Studies as well as to think-tank analysts and policy makers. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$v186. 606 $aEuropäische Union 606 $aRussland 606 $aPolitik 606 $aPolitics 606 $aRussia 606 $aEuropean Union 615 4$aEuropäische Union 615 4$aRussland 615 4$aPolitik 615 4$aPolitics 615 4$aRussia 615 4$aEuropean Union 676 $a337.4701724 686 $a321$2z 700 $aRotaru$b Vasile$4aut$01666758 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$cDr.$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959104603321 996 $aRussia, the EU, and the Eastern Partnership$94026197 997 $aUNINA
