Abstract

This chapter makes an incursion into seven theoretical frames in order to derive three distinct hypotheses, which capture the causal role of EU democracy promotion, international (non-EU) influences and domestic contexts for the dynamics of political regimes in the common neighbourhood between the EU and Russia. It also builds up an analytical model and makes a cursory presentation of the method.
