The Clash of the Public Spheres: Modes of Discusson on the EU-Russia Relations.
Inthis article discussion on EU-Russia relations in the public sphere us in focus. Using 'the public sphere' concept the author analyzes divergenttrajectories of deliberative institutions' development in Western Europe nation-states and Russia. It is stated that in the countries like GreatBritain, France and Germany, which now constitute the core of the European Union, public sphere's invention was highly influences byemerging bourgeois class. The latter formed a new political force - public opinion. Later the public sphere in European polities degraded dueto its 'structural transformation' - fragmentation of bourgeois public, socialization of state's functions and privatization of the public space byprivate capital. Simultaneously there was searching for for efficient and democratic institutions of public discussions particularly regardingsupranational institutions of the EU. European public sphere is still under construction but there are feasible signs of its coming. AlthoughRussian public sphere since its inception in the late XVIII century was quite similar to European then its trajectory was different. It became'acclamatory official' public sphere during Soviet period, in early 1990-s there was a short period of democratizing public sphere however atthe midst of V. Putin presidential term it was again an instrument for manipulating public opinion. Thus if European public sphere isemerging Russian is declining.All this affects mode of discussion on the EU-Russia relations both on official and wider public levels. Experts state that political dialogblocked because both sides talk on different languages and have no shared values. It is negative agenda that unites EU and Russia at thismoment and dialog seems to be more ???. Official Brussels has came to limits trying to influence Moscow on human rights and democracygovernance issues. Expert communities in Russia and the EU share the same pessimistic approach to the EU-Russia relations' future . Widerpublic on both sides is not interested in advocating strengthening of these relations. Acute example of deadlock is 'Partnership forModernisation' program. This situation can be called 'the clash of the public spheres' due to positive shared political agenda absence anddivergent rules and principles of dialog.
