أثر سياسة الطاقة في العلاقات الروسية–الأوربية(1991-2010)‎ و ما بعدها)‎

الملخص EN

Russian-European relations have been characterized by tension and complexity in several areas, politically, economically and security-wise, both of which are advanced forces in the international system that seek to maximize their interests and search for a more influential and effective role in international policies and obtain safe and stable sources of energy on the one hand, and diversify their sources or develop their extraction on the other hand.

.

Accordingly, the European Union seeks not to abandon its relationship with Russia, especially since it is a close source of energy supply, and Russia cannot abandon the safe and insatiable European market to dispose of its energy resources, in addition to European technology to develop mechanisms for its extraction, and this imposes on both parties a kind From coercive dependence in the field of energy, on the difference between them in orientations, values and interests.

The difference that Brussels employs in confronting Moscow has led to a kind of confrontation in geopolitical areas for both sides in Georgia and Ukraine.

The European Union, as a "soft power", is trying to expand eastward and carve out Russia's spheres of influence.

It is also trying hard to diversify energy sources and not depend on Russian gas and oil.

On the other hand, Russia is using energy as a pressure card on the active centers of power in the European Union, as well as using "hard power" to assert its presence as a regional power aspiring to a greater international role.
