Liudmila Babynina. Working paper №2, 2015 (№2). Iceland and the EU: fish and banks. ENG

The story of Iceland’s entry into the European Union proved to be brief, and, to a significant degree, the result could have been predicted: six years after submitting its application, Iceland withdrew it and halted its negotiations on joining the EU.

Olga Potemkina. Working paper №1, 2015 (№1). The EU-Russia cooperation in fighting terrorism. ENG

The paper deals with the EU-Russia cooperation in fighting terrorism in the condition of sanctions. The author demonstrates that freezing the political dialogue has seriously decreased possibilities and potential of EU-Russia joint actions against the global terrorist threat. The main conclusion is that the shared interests in fighting terrorism and organized crime on the Eurasian space should override short-term tactical calculations.
