The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), comprising Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia, is a relatively new but significant regional organization. Noteworthy accomplishments include the establishment of a common external customs tariff, a customs union, and a unified labor market. A robust institutional framework has been developed to facilitate and promote these processes, encompassing entities such as the Eurasian Economic Commission, the EAEU Court, the Eurasian Development Bank, and the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development. This significant integration achievement also presents several drawbacks and challenges, including some attributed to Russia's dominant position, others stemming from the authoritarian nature of political regimes, and still others related to the dependence on oil and gas exports.

This book offers a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the Eurasian Economic Union, encompassing its historical background, the macroeconomic dynamics of its member states, an assessment of trade and investment relations, a descriptive analysis of the EAEU Treaty, an analysis of Eurasian institutions, a sociological exploration of integration, the EAEU's emerging foreign economic policy, interactions with the EU and China, its stance on One Belt One Road policies, and its mid-term policy agenda. This primer text holds significant interest and value for students, academics, and practitioners engaged in economic policy and business communities, as well as those with a keen interest in the history and development of the Eurasian Economic Union.
