Edward Elgar Publishing The Elgar Companion to the Eurasian Economic Union (Elgar Companions to International Organisations series)

This insightful Companion provides an in-depth, systematic analysis of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), an economic union of several post-Soviet Eurasian states. Bringing together an international collective of established academic experts on the EAEU and Eurasian regionalism, the editors showcase a diverse range of perspectives and backgrounds on the EAEU to reflect its complex reality. The Companion reviews the available evidence on the EAEU, examining its evolution, governance, policies, and outlook as well as delving into key theoretical and policy debates on this particularly contested regional organization. Taking stock of the tectonic changes occurring in the post-Soviet Eurasia, it highlights potential gaps in the collective knowledge and discusses possible scenarios for the future of the EAEU. Exploring the EAEU’s impact on trade, migration, and foreign direct investment in the post-Soviet Eurasia, this astute Companion will prove indispensable to academics and researchers in the fields of political science and economics, particularly those with an interest in Russian and Eurasian studies and comparative regionalism. Its analysis of the challenges the EAEU is currently facing will also benefit think tank analysts with a focus on Russia, China, Central Asia and Eurasia in general.
