This book is the first full-spectrum analysis of Russian and
European norms of political action, ranging from international law,
ethics, and strategy, to the specific norms for the use of force.
It brings together leading scholars from these various fields,
examining the differences in norm understanding between Russia and
Europe. In light of the 2014 occupation and annexation of Crimea by
Russia, and its subsequent covert participation in the internal
affairs of Ukraine, including aggressive flying and major military
exercises, Russia seems to be a classical revisionist power, intent
on changing the balance of power in Europe in particular. It also
reaches beyond Europe, inserting itself as the key actor in the
Syrian war. The book therefore considers how we should understand
Russia. It also questions whether or not the West, in particular
Europe, responds adequately in this delicate and dangerous new
situation. The book concludes that at present Russia acts
strategically and with considerable success whereas Europe is
reactive in its response.
