Abstract

Regional integration has become popular after the end of the World War II. Economic integration is not only ever-closer cooperation of states in a political field. In many cases, it also creates opportunities for international trade and investment by removing tariff barriers and increasing the bargaining power. Eurasia Economic Union or EAEU aims to create a free trade zone in the post-soviet area, establish a common system of external tariffs and other barriers to reduce import of foreign competitors and has protected their domestic industries. The member states of EAEU is a new potential market and potentially the gateway of trade between East Europe and Southeast Asia.
