Russian ideas on integration within the CIS space: how do they match or clash with EU ideas?

No 182, IWE Working Papers from Institute for World Economics - Centre for Economic and Regional Studies

Abstract: The first part gives an overview of the main Russian-initiated integration groups within the CIS space over the past 15 years, listing also some reasons why they failed to be realized. The second is devoted to one of the most challenging economic initiatives: the Common Economic Space, which aims to integrate Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the region’s four largest economies. The third examines changing Russian approaches to cooperating with other CIS countries. The final part tries to put the European “common neighbourhood” into a special perspective, a so-called “Russia/Euroeast” dimension.
