This international and interdisciplinary initiative coordinated by ASA aims to discuss and analyze critical issues of economic cooperation between the enlarged European Union, Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia/Eurasian Economic Union, and their neighbors, including the key Asian players, such as China, Korea, and Japan. The two-year initiative consists of a series of workshops at which specific aspects of integration are discussed by scientists and stakeholders representing all interested regions. Follow-up discussion summaries, notes, opinion papers, position papers, and other publications outline the state of the art in this field and reflect on different futures.

Three workshops were organized in 2014 focusing on:

  • methodologies used to evaluate effects of different trade regimes between countries in a region [1],
  • issues of trade policy in Eurasia [2], and
  • non-tariff barriers and technical regulations [3].
