Revue de presse

This is an excellent and up–to–date study of Russia′s ambivalent relationship with Europe and with European and Atlantic institutions. Under Putin, it demonstrates, the contradictions characteristic of Russian policy towards ′the West′ have sharpened in the face of NATO and EU enlargement: fears of exclusion from the European state system, hesitations over inclusion, doubts and divisions over Russia′s national identity, insistence that Russia cannot be required to operate within the rules that apply to other European states."
Lord Wallace of Saltaire, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, London School of Economics; Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, House of Lords

"How the EU and Russia coexist and cooperate will be a key issue over the next generation. The EU s approach thus far towards the emerging Russia has been bedevilled by incoherence and inconsistency stemming from inadequate understanding. This meticulous study by three authoritative experts helps to bridge that gap, pulling together the manifold threads which connect Russia and Western Europe, and exploring attitudes and sources of tension on both sides. It should be required reading for policy–makers."
Sir Roderic Lyne, former UK Ambassador to Russia

"Through opinion surveys, focus groups, and elite interviews, they provide a detailed picture of Russian attitudes toward Europe...The book will be an invaluable guide to specialists." Choice

"Highly recommendable to anyone who seeks to get some insight into Russian–European relations as well as to all who are interested in Russian foreign policy." Perspectives
