From Europhilia to Europhobia? : trajectories and theories of Europeanization in the post-Communist world since 1989 -- Europe as a cultural-civilizational construct -- Political Europeanization since 1989 -- Security Europeanization since 1989 -- Cultural-civilizational Europeanization since 1989 -- Russia: eternal and incomplete Europeanization -- The Baltic states: successful 'return to Europe' -- Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova: almost European? -- The Caucasus States: the endpoint of Europe or Europe's new eastern boundary -- The central Asian states: not European by mutual agreement -- Conclusion: the continuing influence of the Eurocentric-Orientalist cultural gradient on European, Russian and post-Soviet politics.
"In Russia, the Former Soviet Republics, and Europe Since 1989, Katherine Graney provides a panoramic and historically-rooted overview of the process of "Europeanization" in Russia and all fourteen of the former Soviet republics since 1989. Graney argues that deeply rooted ideas about Europe's cultural-civilizational primacy and concerns about both ideological and institutional alignment with Europe continue to influence both internal politics in contemporary Europe and the processes of Europeanization in the post-Soviet world. By comparing the effect of the phenomenon across Russia and the ex-republics, Graney provides a theoretically grounded and empirically rich window into how we should study politics in the former USSR." --
