Economic Integration in the EAEU in the Context of Growing Global Instability and the Direction of Its Transformation

In the context of growing global instability and the fundamental transformation of the world economy caused by it, the task of exploring and rethinking those transformations that are an inevitable consequence of comprehensive global processes and developing trends is becoming urgent. The purpose of the article is to analyze the transformations that are taking place within the EAEU in connection with changes in the global and regional integration process and to exacerbate the "integration turbulence" in the regional union. On the other hand, they can also contribute to the development and strengthening of regional integration as an opportunity to reduce volatility and ensure the stabilization of socio-economic processes in the region and individual countries of the association. The article describes the processes destabilizing the global economy. The author shows that there is indeed a restructuring of the integration processes in the EAEU towards their deepening and ensuring national security, along with the strengthening of "open regionalism". The author concludes that there is currently great potential and broad prospects for expanding the integration processes of the EAEU with the Asian region, including the possibility of participating in a large-scale project of the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area. At the same time, the signing of FTA agreements and the establishment of close partnerships with ASEAN countries opens up access to the global global market for EAEU countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
