Abstract: The relations between the European Union and Russia are in a state of stagnation. Despite the massive trade flows and heady symbolic diplomacy, there is mistrust, frustration and permanent bureaucratic squabbling between Moscow and Brussels. The 2000s was a period of disillusionment in EU Russian relations. With Putin’s coming to power and the comeback of a quasi-authoritarian bureaucratic state in Russia, the EU became increasingly disappointed about the prospects for a 'Europeanization' of Russia. For Russia, too, the EU, as a bureaucratic formation pursuing socialist economic policies that stifle economic growth, looks much less attractive than in the 1990s. |
