Накратко на български

Връзката между академичните знания и политическите решения в Русия се анализира чрез проучване на това как идеите се предават между учените и държавниците. Разбирането на този процес помага да се разбере как се възприемат и формират отношенията между Русия и ЕС.

Knowledge on International Relations in Russia

Russia is the EU’s third biggest trading partner and key energy supplier but since 2014 it has been placed at the forefront of European security debates. The relationship with Russia is among the EU’s most important, influencing security and prosperity of Europe and its citizens. For these reasons, it is crucial to understand how the relationship with the EU is perceived, explained and acted upon in Russia. This project tackled this task by analysing the links between academic knowledge and the world of policymaking in Russia. In my research I want to understand how these two worlds interact with each other and how people and ideas travel between them. The project’s original objectives included the identification of major concepts in the study of Russia-EU relations and dominant narratives on this bilateral relationship produced by the policy world in Russia. I also asked about the structures and frameworks of knowledge exchange between the academic and policy-making worlds in Russia. The original scope of the project had to be broadened. In the course of my research, I understood that relations between academia and the policy world depend to a large extent on the socio-political context within which they are placed. Unlike in China or Turkey, the Russian government has not openly stepped up its efforts to control research. However, specific limitations to academic freedom shape attitudes of many scholars towards knowledge production and knowledge sharing with the wider public and policy practitioners. This prompted me to analyse the elements of this broader socio-political setting and their effects on knowledge-making and dissemination.

Цел на проекта

Against the backdrop of EU-Russia relations reaching the lowest point since the end of the Cold War, this project is dedicated to understanding what representations and principles underscore Russian policies vis-à-vis the EU, by specifically exploring the relations between Russian academic knowledge of world politics and Russian foreign policymaking. This entails examining the interface between the academy and the world of policymaking, i.e. common and intermediary structures between the two worlds enabling people, training and knowledge to travel between them. None of these areas has been subject to detailed study with regard to Russia. The objectives of the project therefore are: (1) to identify the major concepts, theoretical frameworks and empirical concerns that characterize the Russian study of Russia-EU relations; (2) to pinpoint the dominant narratives on Russia-EU relations produced by the policy world; (3) to identify the structures and frameworks of exchange, homology and mimetism between the academic and policy-making fields in Russia; (4) to identify the content and form of the actual exchange of knowledge and expertise between the academy and the field of policymaking. This close focus on Russia makes it essential for this study to be carried out under the Global Fellowship framework. The meeting of research objectives and the achievement of training goals require the development of ties and collaboration with the Russian academia and continued exposure to Russian policy-making environment. The innovative nature of this cross-disciplinary project consists in proposing an alternative approach to examining Russian foreign policy and in the application of a rich methodological framework to capture the different dimensions - institutional, cultural, ideological - of the knowledge-policy interface. The carrying out of this research at academic institutions in Russia and the EU will enhance scholarly collaboration across the current political divide.
