Description: "This book presents a detailed qualitative and quantitative assessment of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)--a new but substantial regional organization comprising Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Armenia--including the history of Eurasian integration, the macroeconomy of EAEU member states, an assessment of trade and investment links, a descriptive analysis of the EAEU Treaty, an analysis of Eurasian institutions, the sociology of integration, the EAEU&#x2019;s emerging foreign economic policy, relations with the EU and China, the EAEU&#x2019;s position on One Belt One Road policies, and its mid-term policy agenda. This major integration achievement also has several drawbacks and &#x2018;stumbling stones&#x2019;--some due to Russia&#x2019;s dominant position, some due to the authoritarian nature of political regimes, and some due to dependence on oil and gas exports. This primer text will be of interest and value for students, academics and practitioners working in economic policy and business communities and interested in the history and development of the Eurasian Economic Union."--
