Factors of integration in the Eurasian space

Abstract

The article considers that the integration process requires a high degree of
interdependence and complementarity, primarily in the socio-economic sphere, awareness of the
need for close inter-state and intra-regional relations. This indicator of integration in the Eurasian
region has repeatedly changed over the past decades, characterized by periods of getting ahead of
themselves, or moving away from integration initiatives. During the first ten years of independent
development, the policy of each of the newly independent States was marked by a desire for a
level of cooperation with a clear integration orientation, up to direct participation in the formation
of integration unions. Moreover, against the background of emerging inter-state contradictions,
countries rallied to overcome common problems caused by the transformation of their socio –
political systems and the transition to market relations, formulating options for interaction taking
into account the current situation and national interests.
