The article deals with the issue of risk management in trade and economic interaction between Russia and the European Union countries as participants in global value chains (GCS). The authors attempt to identify, identify and classify the main risks that arise as a result of Russia's participation in international value chains together with the countries of the European Union. The emphasis is placed on the risks of including Russia in the GCC in the «ascending» version (based on value- added exports), that is, on the risks that are most controlled by the Russian side. The possibilities of managerial influence on these risks on the part of Russian economic policy actors are shown using the example of development institutions.

The relationship between Turkey and Islam is a hotly debated issue that dominates discussion over the country's bid to join the European Union. The European Union, Turkey and Islam examines here the role of religion in Turkey and the EU and offers arguments on why Turkish Islam will not be an obstacle to Turkey's EU membership. The distinguished contributors analyze Turkish Islam and attempt to determine how significant a factor it is in Turkey's compatibility with the democratic and humanitarian aims of EU member states. Their incisive essays argue that Islamic religious forces will not undermine the autonomy of the secular Turkish state. They also contend that Islam-inspired political parties actually support the secular government. Included in the volume is the thought-provoking study "Searching for the Fault-Line" by E. J. Zürcher and H. van der Linden that examines Turkey's current religious landscape and ultimately dismisses the notion of an inevitable clash between Turkish Islam and European cultures. A valuable study for political scientists, European scholars, and interested observers, The European Union, Turkey and Islam offers a timely and masterfully argued case for why Islam as practiced in Turkey should not be an impediment to the nation's membership in the European Union.
