Russia’s policy towards the EU: the search for the best model
Russia’s policy towards the EU: the search for the best model

Summary/Abstract: The objective of this article is the construction of an analytical model that would allow making a complex assessment of Russia’s attitude towards the EU integration model, structuring the trends of Russia’s policies towards the EU, identifying the logical links of these trends, and forecasting Russia’s further actions. In the article, it is argued that the content and form of Russia’s projections of cooperation with the EU are determined by the evolvement processes of the EU’s geopolitical subjectness. That is why the authors analyse the patterns of current EU-Russia cooperation mechanisms (for instance, the four Common Spaces initiative), model the possible scenarios of development of the EU-Russia Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA), and study Russia’s attitude towards various EU integration models.
