The Elgar Companion to the Eurasian Economic Union

Elgar Companions to International Organisations series

Edited by Alexander Libman, Professor of Russian and East European Politics, Institute for East European Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany and Evgeny Vinokurov, Chief Eсonomist, Eurasian Development Bank, Almaty, Kazakhstan

This insightful Companion provides an in-depth, systematic analysis of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), an economic union of several post-Soviet Eurasian states.

‘'The Eurasian Economic Union (EaEU) is woefully under-researched in the West, despite the efforts of myself and a small group of researchers. Alexander Libman and Evgeny Vinokurov, along with their contributors, have just made our job immensely easier with this book. Detailing the EaEU’s workings, its challenges, its external relations, and its possible future, this volume will be an invaluable reference source for scholars of the region and those with an interest in authoritarian integration.'
– Christopher A. Hartwell, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland

‘This is a well-integrated collection of chapters on key dimensions and dilemmas of the Eurasian Economic Union. The authors demonstrate that, despite the highly disruptive effects of the war in Ukraine and other challenges, the organization remains essential in organizing the large post-Soviet region.’
– Andrei P. Tsygankov, San Francisco State University, US
