ABSTRACT

The paper summarises the findings of this special issue and suggests avenues for future research. It concludes that the Eurasian regionalisms’ development in the 2010s was influenced, among other factors, by Russia’s concerns about external threats and by its control over the Eurasian space. However, the design of the regional institutions does not make them incompatible with global governance. The cooperation between global and regional institutions varies depending on the agenda of the specific regional organisation. In addition to direct competition between global and regional institutions, there may be an indirect one through offering access to different forms of economic benefits. Through this indirect strategy, regional institutions may reduce the incentives for individual countries to comply with their obligations to global institutions. This paper also places Eurasia within a global context of analysis and considers similar trends world-wide as well as outlines the agenda for future studies of global versus regional governance.

摘要

本文总结了这一特殊问题的发现，并提出了进一步研究的途径。结论是，俄罗斯对外部威胁的担忧以及对欧亚空间的控制等因素影响了2010年代欧亚地区主义的发展。但是，区域机构的设计并没有使其与全球治理不相容。全球和区域机构之间的合作取决于特定区域组织的议程而有所不同。除了全球机构与区域机构之间的直接竞争之外，通过提供获得不同形式的经济利益的途径，可能存在间接的竞争。通过这种间接战略，区域机构可以减少激励各国遵守其对全球机构的义务的动机。
