EU-Russia Relations in CrisisUnderstanding Diverging Perceptions\nAuthor(s): Tom Casier, Joan DeBardeleben\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367889968, 978-0367889968\nSynopsis\nRelations between the EU and Russia have been traditionally and predominantly studied from a one-sided power perspective, in which interests and capabilities are taken for granted. \n\nThis book presents a new approach to EU-Russia relations by focusing on the role of images and perceptions, which can be major obstacles to the enhancement of relations between both actors.
