The Eurasian Economic Union and Integration Theory

Více o knize

Evaluating the Eurasian Economic Union, the book examines its economic, political, cultural, and geostrategic dimensions through a comparative lens with the European Union. It argues that the EAEU is ineffective for Russia due to regional characteristics and member state behaviors amid Russia's opposition to the West. The union's liberal economic principles exacerbate developmental asymmetries, reducing it to a platform for cheap gas and unskilled labor imports. Additionally, the narrative explores how Russia's grievances with the West shape and limit Eurasian integration efforts.
