CONJUNCTION OF CHINA'S SILK ROAD ECONOMIC BELT INITIATIVE AND THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION INTEGRATION PROJECT IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY WORLD ORDER TRANSFORMATIONS
The paper provides an analysis of geopolitical transformations, caused by the process of conjugation of Chinese Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union integration project. While assessing prospects of the conclusion of non-preferential trade and economic agreement between the PRC and the EEU, the author presumes that it will significantly strengthen the international subjectivity of the Eurasian Economic Union. New modality of the Eurasian regionalism can become a practical result of the conjugation of the SREB and the EEU. The development of the Greater Eurasia concept, which accompanies the conjugation process, reflects objective dynamics of the increasing economic interdependence, but at the same time contributes to the construction of a macroregion based on ideas and identities, the harmonization of which will serve interests of China, Russia, other EEU countries and wider range of Eurasian actors as well.
