Cooperation of the CSTO Member States within the Framework of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly: Problematic Aspects
EDN: ZCZJGD
Abstract
The article discusses the current problems of interaction between the CSTO member states within the framework of interparliamentary cooperation. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that, on the one hand, the tools of Russia’s parliamentary diplomacy are significant on the scale of military-political integration with other CSTO member states, and on the other hand, the emerging problems of this integration can be overcome through the use of inter parliamentary cooperation. The purpose of the article was to identify problematic aspects of the political cooperation of the CSTO member states, implemented within the framework of the activities of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly.
The objectives of the article are: firstly, to analyze the problems of the internal organization and structure of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly; secondly, to identify institutional problems in the implementation of legislative and other functions of this body.
The methodology of the article is presented by the institutional method, the analysis of event series. A new view is proposed on solving the problems of interparliamentary interaction, including through the modification of the functions and structure of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly. In particular, the author, as a general conclusion, suggests measures to intensify efforts in the field of harmonization and unification of the national legislation of the CSTO member states, to expand the potential for using the tools of parliamentary diplomacy of the Russian Federation in modern conditions. The article reveals the flaws of model lawmaking as a promising direction for the further development of military-political integration. The author believes that for the successful functioning of the CSTO, it is necessary to develop a unified policy involving the effective use of parliamentary diplomacy, which will improve the coordination of the activities of bodies in the field of collective security.
