Research On The Conflicts Between Russia And EU In Recent Years And The Reasons Which Cause Them

Since the 1990s, with the Soviet Union collapsed, the Cold War ended, the pattern of international relations in the European continent has undergone a fundamental change. Among them, Russia and the European Union-these two important European international entity relationship is widely attracted by the international community gradually. Since the Cold War, for Russia and EU, merging into one real entity is actually a quite difficult matter, despite the ideological differences between Russia and Europe no longer exists. Because the previous hostility between Russia and Europe can not be eliminated overnight, despite the Cold War has ended. While the country's foreign policy in general are formed on the basis of previous experience, which cause the bilateral hostile feeling to be able to continue; Although Russia declined in the economy, it still can maintain its great nation authority through its formidable nuclear power, and EU still regard Russia as a "potential threat". In this case, a variety of friction and unhappy will be produced between Russia and Europe inevitably. From another perspective, in order to curb America's "unilateralism" and "hegemony", Russia and EU have to join up to contend with the US together; Added, Russia and EU are closely linked in geographical, economic and other areas, they still need cooperation in a very wide range. However, the process of cooperation can not be smooth. With Russia's national strengthing gradually, EU has filled the vigilance to Russia, fearing that Russia's "imperial restoration" can re-harm European interests. Therefore, Russia and Europe have different levels of contradictions and conflicts in the political security, economic or military areas in recent years. View of this, Russian-European conflict has actually been there, but not so very obvious. In August 2008, Russia-Georgia conflicted, which provided a good way of thinking for the selection of topics for this paper.This article aims to sort out the performance of contradictions between in recent years, and elaborate it systematically, and then to further explore the deep-seated reasons. On this basis, we can locate the relation between Russia and Europe accurately. I have made my own forecast on the relationship between Russia and Europe, as well as the impact of the conflict on international order, In my view, Russia and Europe is like a pair of friends who both keep each other at an arm's length, if one thing can meet the interests of both sides, they would be closer, but there is always an unbridgeable gap, so the relation is unable to develop thoroughly; To the contrary, the two sides may suspect and distrust each other, mutually exclude each other. In such circumstances, the Russian-European contradictions will exist for a long time, with no real solution.
