The EU and Russia in Their ''Contested Neighbourhood'' : Multiple External Influences, Policy Transfer and Domestic Change

Omtale

This book looks at the way in which the EU seeks to influence domestic change in the post-Soviet countries participating in the European Neighbourhood Policy/Eastern Partnership and domestic receptivity to EU policies and templates. Based upon extensive empirical investigation on EU policies in four countries; Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine - and in two pivotal policy sectors - the book provides systematic and nuanced understanding of complex forces at work in the policy transfer process.
