The EU and Russia: All smiles and no action?

The EU and Russia: All smiles and no action?

Policy brief
Katinka Barysch
18 April 2011

The relationship between the EU and Russia has been warmer than it has been for year. Yet there has been little progress on a new bilateral treaty, an energy dialogue, the new modernisation partnership or security co-operation. In this new CER policy brief, Katinka Barysch looks at the reasons for continued stagnation and offers some ideas for the EU to deal with a Russia that fails to reform.
