EAEU - COMPETITION OR PARTNERSHIP?

Abstract

For five years now, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) has been operating in practice as an international organization whose main task is the fullfledged multilateral economic integration of the participating countries in order to improve the living standards of their population. Originating from previous agreements of the mid-crisis 90-s of the last century of the Customs Union, the Eurasian Economic Community, the EAEU is effective if equal partnership prevails over unfair competition. The article discusses the relationship of these components in the work of the EAEU and its organizations-predecessors and structures. The problem raised by the author of the article is relevant in the context of assessing the prospects and viability of the EAEU, the possibility of expansion due to new countries wishing to become partners of the Union, the effectiveness of interaction and healthy competition with other world economic communities.
