    Russia and/versus the EU: From Post-political Consensus to Political Contestations
    in Europe en formation (L') , n° 374, 2014/4 ,  2014 ,  27-39
    In this article I argue that the EU-Russia conflict over the Ukraine results from a political collision of EU’s and Russia’s foreign policy philosophies. With the end of the Cold War both Russia and the EU defined their foreign policies in similar terms, grounded mostly in the prevalence of managerial, administrative and legal—and thus post-political—aspects of governance over political and ideological issues. Yet paradoxically, the cumulative result of the two technocratic—and in many respects pragmatic—projects was the growing politicization of the entire spectrum of bilateral relations and the common neighborhood area.
