This book tells the story of relations between USA and Japan from their first acquaintance to the present day. For more than two centuries they lived through periods of mutual interest and hatred, admiration and desire to destroy each other. Today the countries, despite their ongoing economic competition and almost total dependence of Japan on the US in the security sphere, manage to find a mutually acceptable formula of relations. Americans and Japanese have used the experience of each other, learned to forgive mutual insults and settle their conflicts.

The EU Global Strategy: Implications for Russia.

The EU Global Strategy: Implications for Russia.
  • The EU Global Strategy: Implications for Russia / Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences; Egmont – The Royal Institute for International Relations. Ed. by Olga Potemkina. – M., 2017. – 90 P. - ISBN 978-5-98163-097-2
The Report “The EU Global Strategy: Implications for Russia”, produced by the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) and “Egmont – The Royal Institute for International Relations” (Brussels), is dedicated to the Global Strategy for the European Union’s Foreign and Security Policy (EUGS)published in June 2016. Analyzing the EUGS’s challenges and opportunities for Russia, the authors touch upon key issues in bi-lateral relations – resilience in the shared neighbourhood, EU-EAEU compatibility, energy security. The report questions the possibility of selective engagement between Russia and the EU in the conditions of major crisis and conflict of interests. Still, it states that the general EU’s shift from value based external relations to “principled pragmatism” can create the impetus for relaunching the political dialogue with Russia.

Civil Society: Experience of the European Union Countries and Russia.
  • Kanunnikov A. A.
  • 2017, ISBN 978-5-98163-096-5, ISBN 978-5-9516-0805-5
The monograph shows the history of the formation of the concept of «civil society», the role and place of civil society in the modern world. Considering the civil society in the context of globalization, the author makes predictions about the future prospects, particularly in Europe, based on the analysis of the formation of EU policy towards civil society, development of mechanisms for the European civil society participation in the European integration processes. On the basis of the existing systems of measurement and evaluation of civil society, the author proposes a system of definitions of civil society models in the European Union countries.

The study shows EU principles of interaction with foreign civil society on the example of the EU dialogue with civil society of Latin America. The author also examines examples of looking by civil society organizations for answers to the modern challenges.

Special paragraph is dedicated to the peculiarities of the formation of civil society in Russia and the relations between the state and the civil society.


The European Union in Search of Global Role: Politics, Economy, Security

The European Union in Search of Global Role: Politics, Economy, Security
  • Ed. by Аl.А. Gromyko and М.G. Nosov.
  • М.: «Ves Mir», 2015. ISBN 978-5-7777-0597-6

The book is devoted to the EU foreign policy, its political, military and economic aspects. While the key role of the EU in global economy is beyond any doubt, its external political and military capabilities remain to be much less pronounced. They are still incomparable to the EU's impact on the global economy due to several reasons. The WWII results for Europe, as well as for Japan, became a strong anti-war vaccine demonstrating that, by cutting military expenses, one can promote economic development. USA, willingly and to their own benefit, proclaimed themselves the warrantor of Western Europe’s security, turning the European foreign policy into the function of the policy of Washington. Creation of NATO, dominated by the US, sealed the role of USA as the leading antagonist of Moscow in the Cold war.
