CES and EURUS will host a special public event:

Value Clash Redux: The Revival of Normative Politics in EU-Russian Relations

Are tensions between the EU and Russia rooted in a clash of basic political values, or do they have more to do with differing economic and geopolitical interests? In this special research seminar, Professor Joan Debardeleben explores why the idea of a ‘value clash’ seems to have reemerged between the EU and Russia, what impact it has had on the EU’s approach to the region, and how this all relates to the current conflict over Ukraine.
