Regional economic integration in the post-soviet space by the example of the EAEU. Problems and prospects of development
Today in the course of globalization regional associations of the states pursuing the identical aims the achievement of which is due to sharing the general resources are formed. According to judgments of a number of modern scientists, the Eurasian Economic Union is a sample of the international organization of which progressive organized development of integration processes is characteristic that can be a guarantee of essential stability of this structure. The global regionalization is a regionalization (segmentation or fragmentation) of space of the global world which has the three-stage device - sub - meso - and macroregions, and the concept "region" is a fundamental component of this three-level system of the global world. As international experience and also experience of the Post-Soviet states show, neglect integration processes, their pushing off for late terms can lead toadecrease in competitiveness of the integrated states. At all this the following tendency is traced: in the conditions of economic growth in process of progress and deepening of interrelations between subjects the territory of unity of national interests extends and becomes an important component of the modern international relations. The uniform customs territory which is effectively functioning now is characterized as uniform general rules of mutual trade (free trade regime), and uniform customs and tariff and non-tariff regulation and protection of domestic market of member countries of the Union. Differences in levels of economic development of the countries of EEU can become a serious obstacle on the way of development of integration processes. The main prerequisite to it is the fact that at each stage of integration a certain level of development of economies of the integrated countries is necessary, at the same time all stages of integration can be implemented successfully only on condition of achievement of this level by all members of integration association.
