Abstract

The course “Law and Institutions of the EU and the EAEU” offers an in-depth exploration of the unique legal frameworks of the European Union (EU) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). It focuses on understanding the institutional and legal foundations of these unions, considering their supranational nature, the interaction of EU and EAEU law with Member States’ legal systems, and addressing contemporary challenges within these regional economic integration organizations (REIO).Given the inherent similarities between the EU and the EAEU, this course employs a comparative analysis. This approach elucidates the functioning of each union, showcases diverse pathways for regional integration, and provides insights into potential developments in the field. The course also pays ample attention to the practical aspects of the EU and EAEU’s functioning, including the protection of the legitimate interests of individuals and entrepreneurs within their respective legal orders.The course begins by clarifying the EU and the EAEU as regional economic integrations. This is achieved through political economy perspectives on regional integrational projects and their modalities, situated within the broader context of public international law. In the main section, the course delves into the institutional design of both unions, exploring their founding treaties, institutions, decision-making processes, and supranational characteristics. Subsequently, the course examines the legal frameworks of both unions, including their sources of law and distinctive features such as primacy and direct effect. Special attention is devoted to the common market and economic freedoms within the EU and the EAEU. Notably, the course emphasizes analyzing relevant case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union (CEAEU), exploring their overall relevance for the development of both unions.During this course, students are required to write an essay on current issues related to the legal and institutional designs of the EU and the EAEU, and complete a written test consisting of open questions and a case study. At the end of the course, students must pass an oral examination. Preparatory courses are: “Public International Law”, “Theory of State and Law”, “Constitutional Law of Russia”, “Constitutional Law of Foreign States” (optional course), “History of State and Law of Foreign States”. Participants must demonstrate a proficiency in English sufficient to understand and participate in university-level courses taught in English.
