  Russia and the European Union: Convergence or Divergence?
 
 
Title: Russia and the European Union: Convergence or Divergence?
Author: Averre, Derek
Appeared in: European security
Paging: Volume 14 (2005) nr. 2 pages 175-202
Year: 2005-06-01
Contents: European Union enlargement has left Russia on the margins of European political processes and led to widespread suspicion in the Moscow foreign policy establishment of European motives. This has resulted in, first, increasing resistance to the imposition of European norms and, second, a more assertive policy, particularly in the EU's and Russia's 'overlapping neighbourhoods'. Although Moscow is likely to continue the strategy of engagement initiated under Putin, Brussels must radically rethink the nature and extent of Russia's 'Europeanisation'. Russia's drive for modernisation will coexist with the strengthening of sovereignty and the power of the state, seen by the Putin administration as key to external and internal security. The EU will have to limit its ambition and work within this 'window'—wider or narrower depending on state of play—of policy possibilities.
