in englischer SpracheIn der jüngsten Vergangenheit wurde die gemeinsame geographische Nachbarschaft Russlands und Europas zu einer Region zunehmender Rivalität. Der steigende Wettbewerb zwischen Europas Nachbarschaftspolitik und Russlands Integrationspolitik spitzte sich 2014 in der Ukraine zu. Wie verhalten sich die „Länder in der Mitte“ angesichts der geopolitischen Spannungen und wie werden die konkurrierenden politischen Strategien wahrgenommen? Die Session untersucht die russischen und europäischen Zugänge gegenüber konkreten Ländern, ungelösten Konflikten und potentiellen Kooperationsräumen. Die Diskussion wird in der Plenary Session „Die Europäische Union – Russland: Was tun?“ am 27. August weitergeführt.
