Modern trends in geopolitics have raised serious questions about
the future global and regional architecture of the world system. In
the case of the Eurasian Economic Union, these questions bring up
important issues for debate: What is the Eurasian Economic Union?
What theoretical concepts could be applied for modern Eurasian
integration? Why is the Eurasian Economic Union forming? Most
importantly, what prospects does this Union have in the framework
of the modern geopolitical situation? This book explores the
process of Eurasian integration in the modern global world. The
creation of the Eurasian Economic Union has become a topical issue
in modern Russian foreign policy. Neo-Eurasianist ideas can be
viewed as a geopolitical basis and rationale for the Eurasian
Economic Union that may constitute an integrational structure,
consolidating the post-Soviet area and neighboring regions. This
book argues that Eurasia is a region representing an organic
integrity due to close mentality, common and centuries-long
history, common language of international communication, a
multitude of economic ties, and an identical level of technological
development across all countries within the post-Soviet area. Yet,
advancement of the Eurasian integration idea into practical
implementation should have new objective suppositions as well.
These are defined by the contemporary economic, political, and
ethno-cultural processes in the post-Soviet space.
This book is devoted to the analysis of all aspects of the current
Arctic policy of Russia, the main strategic interests of Russia and
the basics of the current Russian Policy in the region taking into
account new global trends. This monograph ambitions to compile in
one comprehensive study domestic and international aspects of
modern Russian Arctic policy, based mainly on Russian sources that
allowed the author to reveal the specifics of Russian approach to
modern Arctic issues. It raises a set of important research
questions: What are the main interests of Russia in the modern
Arctic? What areas are the priorities in the Russian Arctic policy?
Who governs the Russian Arctic? How are decisions on the Arctic
made in Russia? What kind of problems is faced the Russian Arctic
in global epoch? How do bilateral and multilateral relations
between Russia and other Arctic states impact regional developments
in the Arctic? How is Russia dealing with non-Arctic states and
non-state Arctic actors? How are Russia's domestic and foreign
policy in the Arctic interrelated? How is Russia's Arctic policy
likely to evolve in the future, in a changing global context? The
book argues that nowadays the Arctic vector is one of the main
priorities for Russia's domestic and foreign policies and,
undoubtedly, Russia's future is connected with development of the
Arctic - a region occupying a large part of the country's
territory. On the one hand, the main purpose of the current Arctic
policy of Russia is the 're-development' and modernization of the
Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) after the period of
following the breakup of the USSR that was detrimental to the
Russian Arctic policies. Moreover, today the 're-development' of
the Arctic is the most important prerequisite of the restoration of
Russia's great power status. On the other hand, it is obvious that
current Russia's Arctic strategy should be duly adapted to the new
global realities - not only the ones formed in the wake of the
breakup of the USSR and the end of the Cold War, but also to the
latest developments as 'globalization'.

In the evolving post-Westphalian world regional entities become key
political and economic players as the authors argue in this volume.
As a result of regionalization, the international politics and
economics is witnessing great transformations too. This volume
explores some ideas of how these transformations may develop. It is
written by three generations of researchers and scholars at
European, Russian, and Asian higher education institutions. Their
different perspectives are integrated in a coherent,
multi-dimensional view to answer challenges facing what is called
increasingly "Greater Eurasia". The volume employs a rigorous
conceptual framework over a wide geographic range and applies
different approaches to ask and answer challenging questions. The
arguments presented in this book are built around the concepts of
regionalism and transregionalism. The volume is focusing on three
different geographical entities: Europe, Eurasia and East Asia, and
examines ASEM, EAEU, BRI, EU, ASEAN, CIS, as well as TTIP, TTP,
OBOR .
