Edited by Helena Rytövuori-Apunen.


The eastern enlargements of the EU and NATO have highlighted change in

Russian/ European relations, which at the present time are the primary

context for Finnish foreign, security and defence policies. Russia's

‘perennial dilemma’ of contention and co-operation in her Northwestern

rim again represents a trait of historical and conceptual continuity in

Russian/European relations. It is also the essential feature in the

specifically Finnish tradition of political distinction and foreign

relations. This book argues that understanding the interplay of

continuity and change in a long-term perspective is essential in the

contemporary political constellation in which Finland is part of the EU

and European cooperation and seeks to maintain good bilateral

relationships with Russia. In the methodological sense, the goal is to

develop the pragmatist study of international relations and Russian

studies.
