“…In the literature, the EU has been presented as a postmodern actor that in opposition to Russia does not rely on hard power in its international relations (Light, 2008;Christou, 2010). Such behavior has created a degree of conflict in relation to the types of governance promoted in the Eastern Neighbourhood.…”

“…Ed Miliband acted as climate change secretary and spearheaded the United Kingdom, and the Union's efforts during the Copenhagen summit. On the other hand, Britain's lack of dependence on Russian energy and its geographical remoteness have made it less interested than other member states in dealing with Moscow on bilateral terms, and more in favor of a European multilateral framework (Christou, 2010). During the Russian-Georgian war, David Miliband as foreign secretary led the opposition toward Russia's aggression by visiting Georgia and reassuring its leadership of Western support.…”

“…The Russian-Georgian war of 2008 represents a crucial moment in the logic of EU-Moscow relations and is analyzed in this book as a defining moment for the EU's policy toward Russia (Biscop, 2010;Christou, 2010).

“…The security-oriented nature of the ENP is something hardly contested in the literature on the topic (see e.g. Attinà, 2004;Averre, 2010;Christou, 2010;Dias, 2013). This becomes clear in the analysis of its foundational documents were the goals of creating a 'ring of friends', 'avoid new dividing lines in Europe' and 'promote stability and prosperity' across the broader European space are clearly stated, thus rendering visible the primary intention of protecting the EU from external threats (European Commission, 2003).…”

Abstract:This paper critically interprets the international dimension of the Ukrainian crisis to reflect upon dynamics of power and security in the broader European space. It argues this crisis to be simultaneously the result and the intensifier of the collision of antagonist and mutually exclusive foreign policies towards the contested neighbourhood by the EU and Russia. For that purpose, it provides an overview of EU and Russian policies towards this region, followed by the discussion of the Ukrainian crisis in the midst of what can be considered to be a battle of giants for regional power and security.

“…Thus we see full reflexivity -since this mirrors 12 internal EU processes -which in respect to gender equality at least, suggests the EU 13 is not the normative actor it purports to be. it is to be European (for one such perspective, see Christou, 2010). This is perhaps 4 because at the moment Russia does not represent a credible threat.…”
