"European Union (EU)" and "Horizon 2020"Makarychev, Andrey2019-02-202019-02-202018https://doi.org/10.1080/03932729.2018.1483630http://hdl.handle.net/10062/63338The contours of regionalism in a wider Europe are shaped by two dominant actors, the European Union (EU) and Russia, which often have divergent visions of the regional landscapes in a vast area constituting their common neighbourhood. The EU can be characterised as the promoter of normative regionalism, while Russia generates different forms of civilisational regionalism. Russia’s emphasis on the civilisational underpinnings of its regional integration model paves the way for two different strategies: one based on liberal imitation and replication of EU experiences in order to strengthen Russia’s position in the global neoliberal economy, and another grounded in illiberal contestation of the normative premises of the EU with the purpose of devising an ideologised alternative to the liberal West.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNormative regionalismcivilisational regionalismcommon neighbourhoodEurasian integrationEURussianormatiivne regionalismtsivilisatsiooniline regionalismühine naabruskondEuraasia integratsioonEuroopa LiitVenemaainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article
