| Summary: | This review analyses Scott Nicholas Romaniuk and Marguerite Marlin’s book, Divided States: Strategic Divisions in EU-Russia Relations, highlighting the main aspects of the European Union’s relation with the Russian Federation. This book introduces the topic by presenting the two major players involved, underlining the fact that many scholars have regarded the EU as the “good” and Russia as the “bad.” Referring also to the regional impact of each actor, the review examines the role of third parties, civil society and minorities in official relations between the two entities. Influence of the Western world, often periods of hostility and isolation, and also relations with other actors represent just some of the main aspects of the research carried by the authors. Attractive to all types of readers, this book is suitable for students and scholars interested in this topic of research. |
