'Great power identity' implies an expansionist foreign policy, and yet this does not explain all the complexities of the Russian state. For instance, it cannot explain why Russia decided to take over Crimea, but provided only limited support to break-away regions in Eastern Ukraine. Moreover, if Russia is in geo-economic competition with Europe, why has no serious conflict erupted between Moscow and other post-Soviet states which developed closer ties with the EU? Finally, why does Putin maintain relationships with the European countries that imposed tough economic sanctions on Russia? Vsevolod Samokhvalov provides a more nuanced understanding of Russia's great power identity by drawing on his experience in regional diplomacy and research and applying a constructivist methodology. The book will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, in particular Russian-European relations, Russian foreign policy and Russian studies. Vsevolod Samokhvalov helps us understand contemporary Russian relations with Europe and the world by exploring how Soviet and current Russian foreign policy elites understand their past. In particular, Soviet and Russian great power identity has been forged in contact and conflict with the frontier sweeping from the Black Sea to the Balkans, as imagined in historical fiction and universally read history textbooks. Samokhvalov opens the readers' eyes to an entirely new dimension of Russian foreign policy and its origins. - Professor Ted Hopf, National University of Singapore. 001358598 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001358598 651_0 $$aEurope$$xForeign relations$$zRussia (Federation) 001358598 651_0 $$aRussia (Federation)$$xForeign relations$$zEurope. 001358598 651_0 $$aEurope$$xForeign economic relations$$zRussia (Federation) 001358598 651_0 $$aRussia (Federation)$$xForeign economic relations$$zEurope. 001358598 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358598 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSamokhvalov, Vsevolod.$$tRussian-European Relations in the Balkans and Black Sea Region : Great Power Identity and the Idea of Europe.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2017$$z9783319520773 001358598 852__ $$bebk 001358598 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-52078-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358598 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358598$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358598 980__ $$aBIB 001358598 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358598 982__ $$aEbook 001358598 983__ $$aOnline 001358598 994__ $$a92$$bISE
