Klappentext
"The CIS, the EU, and Russia" focuses on the difficulties facing Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus with regard to their integration into both the CIS and the encroaching EU. It analyzes the links between the integration mechanisms of the CIS and EU and the various state policies towards, and the elite interests in, the territory of the former Soviet Union.
Very few books have been published on the CIS, its integration processes and their interaction with the European Union
Provides a detailed, current look at two sets of issues often overlooked in literature - the actual processes of integration occurring within the CIS and the shifting relationships between the EU and the CIS and some of its member states
Features a wide variety of authors from the EU, Russia and the US
