This issue of the RAD does indeed assess the first six months of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). The first article evaluates the problems and opportunities facing the Union and concludes that it has a fair chance of succeeding as an organization. The second piece then argues the EEU is attempting to fashion itself into a "global region," and thereby ensure that Eurasia doesn't become a raw-material appendage to the world economy. Finally, the third article examines the EEU’s performance thus far, specifically from macroeconomic and local trade relations perspectives.
