Annotation

            The work analyses the development of Russia - EU cooperation in the course of creation of Four Common Spaces: the Common Economic Space; the Common Space on Freedom, Security and Justice; the Common Space on External Security; and the Common Space on Research, Educa­tion and Culture. While the Road Maps on each of them were adopted by the Russia - EU Summit in May 2005, the examination of concrete mo­dalities, practice and prospects of partnership within this framework has become essential. The authors study the Four Road Maps in the context of general Russia - EU relations as well as of forthcoming negotiations on a new basic legal agreement to replace PCA.

            The Part II is devoted to internal and external security. The final chap­ter provides the study with the analysis of legal aspects of the Russia - EU relations in the process of implementation of the Road Maps as well as in the context of preparation for negotiations on the new Agreement on Stra­tegic Partnership.
