As major powers in international relations, Russia and the EU behave in fundamentally different ways: while the EU seems to strive for a foreign policy that achieves its goals through authoritativeness, Russia acts as a coercive power. At the same time, the EU’s and Russia’s geographical proximity and economic interdependence mean that their respective approaches often find themselves in direct confrontation with each other, for instance in the Common Neighborhood. Irina Busygina’s new book looks at forms of power and power relations in global politics. While globalization has led to shared global economic regimes, it has by no means standardized types of power: those currently represented by the EU and Russia form a sharp contrast. What emerges when these different forms of power interact, and how are third parties affected, for instance the countries of the Common Neighborhood?
