Eurasian Economic Integration has arrived at just the right time.
The Asia-Europe economic region is undergoing major changes. With
the strengthening of the Chinese economy and the crisis with the
euro, the economic balance is shifting. Meanwhile, questions about
the future of the economies in the post-Soviet region are arising.
The new order now being attempted under Russia's leadership could
take on considerably more significance. Kataryna Wolczuk and Rilka
Dragneva have brought together a first-class team of experts who
are investigating these developments. As a result, we now have a
study describing the Eurasian structures currently taking shape and
their consequences for the countries involved, the WTO and
neighbouring countries in the East and West. This precise and
timely study upholds high standards of scholarship and offers
political actors an excellent analysis, which will enable them to
adapt European policy to the processes playing out in Eurasia.' -
Henning Schroeder, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, Berlin,
Institute for East-European Studies, Free University Berlin,
Germany'This book spectacularly delivers on what it promises,
providing a comprehensive, clearly structured and theoretically
informed study of the latest round of integration efforts in
post-Soviet Eurasia. Bringing together an impressive range of
contributors, each of whom is a notable expert in their field, this
will undoubtedly become a classic path-breaking study of
regionalism in a part of the world that is unjustly neglected.' -
Richard Sakwa, University of Kent, UK In this well-researched and
detailed book, the editors provide an extensive and critical
analysis of post-Soviet regional integration. After almost two
decades of unfulfilled integration promises, a new - improved and
functioning - regime emerged in the post-Soviet space: the Eurasian
Customs Union between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan (ECU). The
contributors seek to explain this puzzling and politically
significant development by examining the ECU's origins,
institutional architecture, key driving forces and emerging
implications. Their investigation reveals that the ECU is an
ambitious and fast moving project in deep economic integration, yet
its legal design is complex and member states are driven by a
precarious balance of diverse motives. Nevertheless, as the
contributions to the volume indicate, the emergence of the ECU
already carries important external implications, especially for the
EU s strategy in the post-Soviet space. Being the first
comprehensive and systematic study of the new Eurasian economic
integration regime, this book will appeal to academics and students
of regional integration, international relations and international
law, Russian studies, Post-Soviet politics, as well as Central
Asian studies. Contributors: R. Connolly, J. Cooper, L. Delcour, R.
Dragneva, M. Frear, H. Haukkala, N. Kassenova, S. Malle, K. Wolczuk
