Can the EU entice Russia's "modernizers"?
Fabrizio Tassinari writes in OpenDemocracy in the run-up to the EU-Russian summit
On Tuesday December 7th, the EU and Russia will meet for a bilateral summit in which Russia is set to receive EU backing to Russia's long-sought membership in the World Trade Organization. This decision takes place against a background where Brussels has made some advances in supporting Russia's “modernization.”
Fabrizio Tassinari, Senior Researcher and Head of the Foreign Policy and EU Studies unit, writes in OpenDemocracy about the limits and potential of modernization, as well as about what the EU might do next in its partnership with Russia.
