Understanding Conflict between Russia and the EU: The Limits of Integration (Rethinking Peace and Conflict Studies)

Understanding Conflict between Russia and the EU addresses the conflictual issues in EU-Russian relations and presents an innovative theory for the understanding of their emergence. Drawing on up-to-date research data, the author argues that conflicts in EU-Russian relations are generated by the clash of principles of state sovereignty and international integration, which characterize the policies of both sides.
