EURUS is very pleased to announce the publication of Eurasian Integration: The View From Within, co-edited by EURUS Professor Piotr Dutkiewicz and Professor Richard Sakwa, University of Kent. Routledge, 2014. Please see the official abstract below.
“This book is about the enormous space between the European core and China. It is about its potential for both the creation of wealth and/or peripheral degradation, for both cooperation and/or – as recent events in Ukraine proved – conflict, for both further economic integration and/or a new barriers between neighbors.
Eurasia is quickly transforming into an increasingly interconnected economic and – to a limited extent – political space and concept that is becoming the main focus of civilian and military strategic planners for years to come. As Eurasia and the adjacent territories become more important to the world, there is increasing interest from international powers, accompanied by attempts to give institutional form to traditional economic and security links within the region. This book includes a range of substantive work from scholars based in the region, offering contrasting perspectives on the process of Eurasian integration and its place in the world. Chapters consider economic, political, social and security developments, with notable studies of the major countries involved in the development of the Eurasian Economic Union. The work also examines the connections between the region and China, greater Asia and the European Union.”
