Description

Russia has a special relationship with the European Union in the form of a strategic partnership. However, as the rhetoric begins to resemble to ‘cold war’ dialogue more than that between potential allies this seems hard to believe. This course examines the increasingly strained relationship between Russia and the EU where challenges on regional security and energy supplies aggravate the decision-making context. However, neither the EU nor the Kremlin are decision-making monoliths and the threat perception varies within each. This course deepens students’ appreciation of the world as seen from the Russian perspective as well as the range of responses available to Western European countries.
