Modern Trends in Interregional Cooperation Between the Subjects of the Russian Federation and African Countries

The modern foreign policy of Russia is aimed at developing sustainable cooperation with the countries of Africa in spite of the lack of stability on the continent for the most part. In this regard, it is important to take into account the potential of regional participation in the realization of the consistent foreign policy course of the country. The subjects of the Russian Federation can make a significant contribution to educational, economic, cultural cooperation, as well as interact with almost all social, humanitarian and economic aspects with the countries of Africa. However, there are objective problems in the development of such regional interaction. The article identifies a number of such problems on the basis of systemic and historical approaches. Conclusions about the prospects of cooperation between the subjects of the Russian Federation and African partners are drawn with the use of formal-legal analysis of the Russian federal model.
