'Building on a variety of legal approaches, this book offers a systematic and profound analysis of the Eurasian Economic Union's legal order and its 'fragile autonomy'. In light of its strong comparative dimension and interdisciplinary elements, it will be a key reference point not just for legal experts, but also for any scholar interested in this Russia-driven regional integration project.' Laure Delcour, Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle, Paris

In this original study of the Eurasian Economic Union, Maksim Karliuk assesses the law and dynamics of functioning of this international organization. Examining the Eurasian Economic Union as an attempt to encourage post-Soviet integration, this book addresses the problematic legal issues of the integration process. Using the legal order autonomy framework, Karliuk carefully selects and organizes the topics included to offer readers a clear, systematic account of the most significant concerns. As well as considering theoretical issues, Karliuk engages with practical solutions to the problems identified. Besides merely outlining the present, this book develops a framework to address gaps and failures in current integration efforts and encourages further research into the complexities of Eurasian integration in the future.
