Routledge Russia and EU in the New World Disorder - Foreign Policy Analysis

This scholarly work offers an original examination of Russian foreign policy through the lens of identity construction and European relations. The book traces how Russia's self-conception has evolved in relation to the EU, providing comprehensive analysis of policy discourse under Putin's leadership. Drawing on ideational, historical, psychological, and political-sociological perspectives, the author documents the transformation of Russia-EU relations from cooperation through competition to conflict. The study grounds its arguments in the actions and statements of key Russian policy actors, offering readers a nuanced understanding of the motivations, strategic calculations, and worldview shifts that have shaped contemporary Russian foreign policy trajectories.
