The aim of the project is to explore the full range of EU-EEU relations, which is characterized by conflict and competition, convergence and cooperation (possible).
The project seeks to dig into the full complexity of EU – EEU relations, characterized by conflict and competition, convergence and cooperation, what the status-quo of relations is, areas of conflict, its root causes and consequences, what role the rise of China plays, what areas of convergence exist, as well as the areas of current cooperation and the preconditions to widen cooperation in the future.
