Description
Book SynopsisIn this original study of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Maksim Karliuk assesses the law, present dynamics, and the likely future development of the EAEU. Karliuk considers the legal, institutional and decision-making issues of the EAEU as an attempt to encourage post-Soviet integration and offers solutions to the most problematic concerns.
Trade Review'This book offers an excellent expert analysis of the legal regime of the Eurasian Economic Union. It is thoroughly researched and informative, zooming in on critical legal issues and providing a nuanced and stimulating discussion. This should be an essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the workings of Russia's flagship integration project in Eurasia.' Rilka Dragneva, University of Birmingham
'The Emerging Autonomous Legal Order of the Eurasian Economic Union offers an in-depth critical appraisal of the functioning of the EAEU and of the structure and essential characteristics of the EAEU legal order. It contains an extensive analysis of the jurisprudence of the EAEU Court and draws parallels with the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.' Kirill Entin, Court of the Eurasian Economic Union and National Research University Higher School of Economics
'In this book Maksim Karliuk explores the legal structure and operation of the Eurasian Economic Union, an organization that is frequently discussed but rarely subjected to such sustained and detailed analysis. This is an important work on one of the most influential international institutions in the Eurasia region.' Chris Miller, The Fletcher School, Tufts University
'The book offers a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the Eurasian Economic Union. It draws an interesting comparison with the EU integration process through addressing the complex question of whether the EAEU, similarly as the EU, can be qualified as an 'autonomous legal order'.' Inge Govaere, Ghent University and College of Europe
'Building on a variety of legal approaches, this book offers a systematic and profound analysis of the Eurasian Economic Union's legal order and its 'fragile autonomy'. In light of its strong comparative dimension and interdisciplinary elements, it will be a key reference point not just for legal experts, but also for any scholar interested in this Russia-driven regional integration project.' Laure Delcour, Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle, Paris
