Selected issues of international economic integration in the post‑Soviet space in the period of 1991‑ 2010. A Russian perspective

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the evolution, dynamics and structure of international economic integration in the post‑Soviet space in the period of 1991‑2010. The main objective of the article is to review synthetically the most crucial issues of integration processes from political and economic perspectives in the region under question. In the reality of globalization, the post‑Soviet countries are forced to make attempts in order to get into the stream of its processes by means of creating economic integration unions which are able to react effectively to the changes. However, the political implication behind economic integration processes as well as the search for the identity of new independent states made them very different from each other, which is reflected in the employment of various models of national economies, political systems and the pace of development. Therefore the leading integration projects appeared to be generally ineffective. A look into the rich Russian literature concerning the topic allowed to reflect the Russian perspective on the processes which are taking place.
