  The EU's New Strategy for Africa: in Search of a Genuine Partnership
  Contemporary Europe, 2020, No 3, pp.39-50. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15211/soveurope320203950
   
  The article analyzes the prospects of the new EU strategy for Africa. The author highlights the strengthening of the discourse of equal partnership on the part of the EU. The author explains the partial departure of the EU from the principle of conditionality in relations with the African states and stresses that in order to achieve its competitive advantage in the region the EU needs to support more actively the connectivity agenda and infrastructure projects.
   
  Islam and the Republic in France
  Scientific and Analytical Herald of IE RAS, 2020, No 2, pp.117-122. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15211/vestnikieran22020117122
   
  The article looks into the place of Islam in France through the prism of republican values that have formed the modern French state. The growth in the number of Muslims in the country, both among citizens and due to immigration, raises new questions for the Republic such as to what extent the peaceful existence of a growing Muslim community within a secular state is possible considering that Islam draws no division between public and private life. In the long run it will depend on whether laïcité is understood as an autonomy, rather than the complete exclusion of religion from the public sphere.
   
  European Integration: A Restart of the Idea of “Social Europe”
  Contemporary Europe, 2019, No 3, pp.5-17 (with Yuri Borko). DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15211/soveurope620190517
   
  The article considers the contradictions in the development of the social dimension of European integration and identifies ways to overcome the asymmetry between the market development and social progress. Looking into the dynamics of social rights harmonization in the EU, the authors identify several stages of activation of the idea of “Social Europe”. The authors conclude that the European social model is undergoing redesigning and the consequences of the crisis will only strengthen the need for more coordinated action in social policy at supranational level.
   
  Implementation of “Civil Citizenship Concept” in European Union Migration Policy
  Scientific and Analytical Herald of IE RAS, 2019, No 6, pp.86-91. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15211/vestnikieran620198691
   
  The article addresses to the problem of integration of third-country nationals in the European Union, the author provides a detailed analysis of the development of the concept of «civic citizenship» and highlights the role of supranational institutions (the Commission and the CJEU) in promoting the uniform application of the Directive 2003/109/EC and guaranteeing the rights of legal immigrants in the EU. The author notes that the EU long-term resident status can be considered as a step towards a post-national form of membership in the host community that overcomes the restrictive nature of national citizenship.
