The article analyzes the problems of the evolution of Eurasian integration in the post-Soviet space, the characteristic features of the process. Based on the consideration of international documents that form the basis of Eurasian economic integration, and the main organizational and legal forms of interaction between the states of the Eurasian region, the authors propose the periodization of the Eurasian integration process. Four stages are substantiated in the paper: I. Formation of integration processes within the Commonwealth of Independent States with the creation of various mechanisms of interaction between the states. II. Creation of the Eurasian Economic Community and continued integration on the basis of this international organization. III. Creation of the Customs Union of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. IV. The creation of the Eurasian Economic Union – to date. The authors conclude that the integration of the former Soviet republics was carried out at various levels of cooperation, the logical result of which was the formation of the Eurasian Economic Union as the highest form of integration of the post-Soviet states at the moment. Further development of this international organization requires both a well-developed legal framework and the creation of appropriate economic, political and other objective prerequisites.

The article examines an international legal framework of the dispute resolution under free trade agree-ments. The existing mechanisms for resolving trade disputes are analyzed and their classification is given. The article demonstrates an evolutionary change of the approach of States to the formulation of provisions on dispute settlement in international trade treaties. Special attention is paid to the systems of dispute resolution under free trade agreements to which the Eurasian Economic Union is a party. The free trade agreements of the Eurasian Economic Union and its member States with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (2015), the Islamic Republic of Iran (2018), the Republic of Singapore (2019) and the Republic of Serbia (2019) are compared with respect to the dispute resolution mechanisms. The article focuses on such institutional aspects as the method of appointing arbitrators, the scope of interstate disputes and the competition of dispute resolution platforms. The effectiveness of the dispute resolution systems of the World Trade Organization and special-ized mechanisms under the free trade agreements of the Eurasian Economic Union and its member States is evaluated. The negative and positive aspects of the existing mechanisms under the free trade agreements of the Eurasian Economic Union and its member States are highlighted, and the ways of their development are proposed.

For five years now, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) has been operating in practice as an international organization whose main task is the fullfledged multilateral economic integration of the participating countries in order to improve the living standards of their population. Originating from previous agreements of the mid-crisis 90-s of the last century of the Customs Union, the Eurasian Economic Community, the EAEU is effective if equal partnership prevails over unfair competition. The article discusses the relationship of these components in the work of the EAEU and its organizations-predecessors and structures. The problem raised by the author of the article is relevant in the context of assessing the prospects and viability of the EAEU, the possibility of expansion due to new countries wishing to become partners of the Union, the effectiveness of interaction and healthy competition with other world economic communities.

The issues of legal aspects of harmonization of labor legislation of Kazakhstan and the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) are investigated. The urgency of the issue under consideration is determined by the further necessity to bring into a harmonious combination the legal aspects of the legislation of Kazakhstan and the states that are members of the EAEU. Harmonization in the legal field involves the development of a unification of the laws of the above states in the field of labor relations. To maintain a coherent policy in the field of social and labor relations in Kazakhstan and the countries included in the EAEU, the foundations of labor legislations have been developed. But, at the moment, they are advisory in nature, while the harmonization of labor legislations in the legal field requires the approval of the adopted legislative acts of these states in this area. In this regard, a search is being made for recommendations on the harmonization of the legal aspects of the issue under study regarding Kazakhstan and the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The leading approach to the study of this issue is to evaluate the current legal standards of these countries in the field of labor law and identify ways for their further integration in this direction. The prospects for research in this direction are determined by the possibility of assessing the realism of harmonizing the labor legislations of Kazakhstan and the countries, members (EAEU), which will favorably affect the further integration of Kazakhstan into the legal framework of the Eurasian Economic Union. The applied value of this study is to identify the prospects for the development of labor laws of Kazakhstan and the countries that are members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in order to determine specific measures for the integration of labor legislation of Kazakhstan in the legal field of the EAEU in the future.

Provisions of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union devoted to labour migration are analyzed. The authors note the probability that the law harmonization function will be implemented in the Eurasian Economic Union not through model laws but through international treaties and decisions of the Union’s institutions. The authors assume that the Eurasian Economic Union will work out the desired integration model, based not only on political and economic interests, but which will take into account civilizational peculiarities of the Eurasian region.

In 2013, Armenia abandoned the plan to sign the Association Agreement and to establish a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) with the EU. Instead, it acceded to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Against this U-turn in Armenia’s integration agenda, this contribution critically investigates the (in)compatibility of participation in the European and the Eurasian legal orders. While the customs union-based regional integration processes preclude Armenia’s participation in both, the authors argue that the strict dichotomy of having to choose one or another transnational legal order and the subsequent legal and political divisions harm Armenia and hamper the achievement of objectives inherent to the EU’s Eastern Neighborhood. It will be argued that this dichotomy may be overcome by a rapprochement between the EU and the EAEU, potentially through contractual relations. Moreover the creative ways in which the EU already provides for differentiated integration could be adapted to enable Armenia reconcile legal approximation with the EU with its engagement within the Eurasian region.

The Court of Eurasian Economic Union is envisaged by the Treaty on EAEC (Eurasian Economic Community) as one of the bodies of the Union. Its principal aim is to ensure uniform application of the Treaty and compliance of the agreements adopted by the Union member states as well as acts of the Union bodies with the Treaty.All member states, bodies of the Union and, in certain cases, economic entities has the right of appeal to the Court. The Court is empowered to adjudicate cases of disputes arisen within the framework of the Union as well as to issue advisory opinions. Court decisions are binding while advisory opinions are of suggestive nature. When hearing cases, the Court applies the Treaty on EAEC, international treaties of the states concluded within the framework of the Union and norms of international law.Established in 2015, the Court of EAEC appeared to be in demand among the states, economic entities and bodies of EAEC. The analysis of the activities of the Court and its legal framework enabled to identify a number of outstanding issues related to the status and organization of the activities of the Court. Thus, the competence of the Court as stipulated by the Statute does not reflect the power (as stipulated by the Treaty) of the Highest Eurasian Economic Union to appeal to the Court with a request. The limits of competence of the Court are not clearly and sufficiently denoted, the fact that might serve grounds for the unwarranted expansion thereof. The procedure for initiation of issuance of advisory opinions and termination of proceedings in such cases is not sufficiently regulated. There is no clarity as to the legitimacy of the collective dissenting opinions of judges.The analysis of the Court practice shows that in broad terms it fulfills its mandate. The decisions adopted by it enabled to elaborate critical legal positions and clarify many practical issues in such areas as functioning of the Customs Union and internal market of the Union, general principles and rules of competition, protective measures for internal market and transportation policy.

The paper appraises current progress in establishing the Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Although the progress has slowed down after the initial rapid advancement, the Union is better viewed not as an exception from the general rules of regional economic integration but rather as one of the functioning customs unions with its successes and stumbling blocs. The paper reviews the state of Eurasian institutions, the establishment of the single market of goods and services, the situation with mutual trade and investment flows among the member states, the ongoing work on the liquidation/unification of non-tariff barriers, the problems of the efficient coordination of macroeconomic policies, progress towards establishing an EAEU network of free trade areas with partners around the world, the state of the common labor market, and the dynamics of public opinion on Eurasian integration in the five member states.
