The Eurasian Economic Union and Integration Theory

Mehr zum Buch

The evaluation reveals the Eurasian Economic Union's ineffectiveness for Russia across economic, political, cultural, and geostrategic dimensions. By comparing it to the European Union, the analysis highlights that the union exacerbates development asymmetries among member states and primarily serves as a platform for discounted gas sales and unskilled labor imports amid Russia's high unemployment. Additionally, the book explores how Russia's grievances with the West both stimulate and hinder the process of Eurasian integration, underscoring the union's limited utility.
