Kashirkina A.A. Promotion of Eurasian Integration through Time and Space: Current and Future International Legal Regulation

Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of problems and prospects of the development and functioning of the Eurasian economic Union as the successor of the Customs Union. The paper considers the spatial and chronological parameters of promotion of Eurasian integration in the post-Soviet space. In chronological aspect of the formation of the Eurasian economic Union was preceded by four of the Customs Union established in accordance with international treaties. From the point of view of the spatial dimension of the Eurasian economic Union it was enlarged by the accession of new members of the Republic of Armenia and the Kyrgyz Republic. At the same time it is necessary to further expansion of the Eurasian economic Union, by increasing joint areas of cooperation, and by the admission of new members. The fact that at the present time the cooperation of the member States of the Eurasian economic Union is quite limited is noted . However, achieving even this level is a major progress for the post-Soviet States. The experience of the European Union in the construction of the Eurasian economic Union cannot be blindly adopted, but is subject to deep study and adaptation. This article contains a proposal for the extension of the international legal framework of the Eurasian economic Union in the development and adoption of the Eurasian anti-corruption strategy. The positive role of the international anti-corruption standards, which can be fixed in the Eurasian anti-corruption strategy are highlighted. The conclusion of an international agreement on harmonized approaches of the member States of the Eurasian economic Union to the prevention and liquidation of emergency situations of natural and technogenic character and conduct of rescue operations is also proposed. Specific recommendations on the structure and contents of this agreement are also presented.
