Is it Possible to Combine Russian and Chinese Integration Plans in Eurasia?
Abstract
This article is devoted to analysis of problems and prospects of conjunction of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and the project «One belt, one road». In this context the authors conduct a comparative analysis of Eurasian strategies of Russia and China. The relevance of the topic of the article due to the joint decision of the Russian and Chinese leadership in May 2015 about the conjunction of Russian-Kazakh and Chinese integration projects and the development of modern Eurasia. This project is being actively discussed in the international expert community. The purpose of this article is to identify all possible ways and mechanisms of conjunction of the two projects, as well as an assessment of the benefit of the parties from such forms of integration. As a result, the authors conclude that the prospects for the implementation of plans for the conjunction of the two projects can be assessed as ambiguous.
