Russia's impact on EU policy transfer to the post-Soviet space has
not been as negative as often perceived. EU policies have traveled
to countries and issue areas, in which the dependence on Russia is
high and Russian foreign policy is increasingly assertive. This
book explores Russia's impact on the transfer of EU policies in the
area of Justice, Liberty, and Security and energy policy - two
policy areas in which countries in the EU's Eastern neighborhood
are traditionally strongly bound to Russia. Focusing especially on
Armenia and Georgia, it examines whether it is the structural
condition of interdependence, the various institutional ties and
similarities of neighboring countries with the EU and Russia, or
their concrete foreign policy actions that have the greatest impact
on domestic policy change in the region. The book also investigates
how important these factors are in relation to domestic ones. It
identifies conditions under which different degrees of EU policy
transfer occur and the circumstances under which Russia exerts
either supportive or constraining effects on this process. This
book will be of key interest to students and scholars of EU and
European politics, international relations and comparative
politics.
