Abstract

The EU Enlargement is a European Union (EU) effort to expand its territory over the entire European continent, including to Eastern Europe which is still under Russian influence. Russia is trying to take control again to the Baltic States which are the only post-Soviet countries to join the EU. Baltic membership in the EU and NATO leads to the direct attachment of the EU-Russia border that threatens the security of the Russian territory and other Russian national interests. Utilizing the development of its natural gas energy industry, Russia sought to restore its influence in the Baltic using a gas-based grand strategy as both natural resources and economic means. The EU's energy rivalry with Russia is regulated in Russia's energy policy implemented by Gazprom on the orders of the Kremlin which is under the control of Putin and his siloviki. The author uses Foreign Policy Analysis theory to analyze the suitability of Putin's energy policy and its bureaucracy with their grand strategy to see the possibility of achieving Russia's national goals to maintain influence in the Baltic states, protecting regional security and maintaining a balance of power in Europe.

Abstract

The monetary crisis that happened in Ukraine is not only affected the economic aspect but also politics. Economic instability makes the Ukrainians faced the dilemmatic choices that certainly leads to political consequences. The Ukrainians have to choose between The EU and Russia are the two options owned by as the right solutions. One of the impacts of the Ukrainian policy of choosing Russia as a solution to the crisis is the spread of protests from a pro-EU. This choice turned into violence (riots) and made Ukraine divided into two parts: Crimea and Lviv. Crimea (Eastern Ukraine) which the majority uses Russian language and Lviv (Western Ukraine) who wants to "escape" from Russia and joins the EU. Crimea Referendum is the climax of the conflict in Ukraine, which ended with the decision to separate from the territory of Ukrainian sovereignty and join Russia, voted by the majority of Crimean society. It shows that the Crimean disintegration process is fundamentally happened because there is the domination of primordial issues aside from the competitive situation between EU and Russia. It proves that the politic of identity puts the identity issue as the main instrument in this case.
