“…It is against this background that a number of scholars have begun to paint a more optimistic picture of Eurasian economic integration (Dutkiewicz 2015;Dragneva and Wolczuk 2012a;Libman and Vonkurov 2012;Sakwa 2015). The EAEU has been described as bucking the trend of second wave regionalism in its efforts to imitate the EU and pursue 'deep integration' and 'institutionalisation' (Dragneva and Wolczuk 2012a: 220) and as an 'EU-like institution', working to lower trade barriers and harmonise legislation and then, at its later stages, attempt political integration (Gvosdev and Marsh 2014, p. 188).…”

“…Distracted by the Ukraine crisis, western media have largely ignored the EAEU, while the academic community remains divided on the prospects of the project. Recent studies do little to clarify the picture, either dismissing the EAEU out of hand as a thinly veiled manifestation of Russia's geopolitical ambitions (Adomeit 2012;Krickovic 2014) or taking a cautiously optimistic approach, but none the less viewing further integration as largely inevitable (Dutkiewicz 2015;Dragneva and Wolczuk 2012a;Libman and Vonkurov 2012;Sakwa 2015). This latter literature echoes high-level statements coming from EAEU leaders, which emphasise the serious, long-term nature of the project but also its ambitious goals of transforming the region's economic and political relations.…”

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) appeared in January 2015 as the latest and most ambitious attempt at reconnecting the post-Soviet space. Building on the Customs Union between Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan (2010), and successfully extending membership to Armenia and Kyrgyzstan (2015), the EAEU not only connects a market of over 182 million people, but has the stated aim of utilising European Union (EU) experience to achieve deep integration in a fraction of the time. Based on original fieldwork conducted in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia, this article examines the kind of integration project currently under construction, as well as the EAEU's ability to make a significant impact in the region. As argued, despite early achievements, the EAEU is very much limited to reproducing sovereignty rather than transforming it, marking a clear disconnect between rhetoric and reality. Moreover, when viewed from the perspective of the three 'I'sinstitutions, identity and international contexteven this modest reality faces significant barriers.

“…Authors, such as Vinokurov and Libman (2012a), Dutkiewicz and Sakwa (2015), Fedorenko (2015), et al have devised scientific approaches, determining the current state and further direction of the Eurasian integration. As per pragmatic (economic) Eurasianism, integration could become the key force of economic development in the Eurasian continent, especially with respect to trade in energy resources, integration in the transport sphere, integration of capital and labor, tourism and fight against drugs, and epidemiological threats (Vinokurov & Libman, 2012b).…”

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the post-Soviet area moved from the periphery of the world economy into a new centre of political and economic influence. Today, the concept of pragmatic (economic) Eurasianism by N.Nazarbayev plays a paramount role in the development of integration processes in Eurasia. One of the newest initiatives of Eurasian integration is the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which functions today in a five-side format, comprising Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia. However, conflict of interests, differential economic development among member states, and institutional problems often complicate the various processes of integration. On the other hand, with measures like harmonizing of national legislations, improved communication between countries at all levels, unification of trade policies, and enhanced control over domestic market in place, the EAEU countries also represent the newest competitive players in the world arena.

“…Without claiming to make a complete survey of the literature, I will mention four substantial monographs-Dragneva and Wolczuk (2013), Vymyatnina and Antonova (2014), Dutkiewicz and Sakwa (2015), and Lane (2017). The first of these books mainly addresses legal and institutional matters.…”
