THE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF EU-RUSSIA RELATIONS

The Routledge Handbook of EU-Russia Relations offers a comprehensive overview of the changing dynamics in relations between the EU and Russia provided by leading experts in the field. Coherently organised into seven parts the book provides a structure through which EU-Russia relations can be studied in a comprehensive yet manageable fashion. It provides readers with the tools to deliver critical analysis of this sometimes volatile and polarising relationship so new events and facts can be conceptualised in an objective and critical manner. Informed by high-quality academic research and key bilateral data/statistics it further brings scope balance and depth with chapters contributed by a range of experts from the EU Russia and beyond. Chapters deal with a wide range of policy areas and issues that are highly topical and fundamental to understanding the continuing development of EU-Russia relations such as political and security relations economic relations social relations and regional and global governance. The Routledge Handbook of EU-Russia Relations aims to promote dialogue between the different research agendas in EU-Russia relations as well as between Russian and Western scholars and hopefully also between civil societies. As such it will be an essential reference for scholars students researchers policymakers and journalists interested and working in the fields of Russian politics/studies EU studies/politics European politics/studies post-Communist/post-Soviet politics and international relations.The Routledge Handbook of EU-Russia Relations is part of a mini-series Europe in the World Handbooks examining EU-regional relations established by Professor Wei Shen.
