After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were high hopes of
Russia's "modernisation" and rapid political and economic
integration with the EU. But now, given its own policies of
national development, Russia appears to have 'limits to
integration'. Today, much European political discourse again evokes
East/West civilisational divides and antagonistic geopolitical
interests in EU-Russia relations. This book provides a carefully
researched and timely analysis of this complex relationship and
examines whether this turn in public debate corresponds to
local-level experience - particularly in border areas where the
European Union and Russian Federation meet. This multidisciplinary
book - covering geopolitics, international relations, political
economy and human geography - argues that the concept 'limits to
integration' has its roots in geopolitical reasoning; it examines
how Russian regional actors have adapted to the challenges of
simultaneous internal and external integration, and what kind of
strategies they have developed in order to meet the pressures
coming across the border and from the federal centre. It analyses
the reconstitution of Northwest Russia as an economic, social and
political space, and the role cross-border interaction has had in
this process. The book illustrates how a comparative regional
perspective offers insights into the EU-Russia relationship: even
if geopolitics sets certain constraints to co-operation, and market
processes have led to conflict in cross-border interaction, several
actors have been able to take initiative and create space for
increasing cross-border integration in the conditions of Russia's
internal reconstitution.
