Abstract
The course “Law of the EAEU” offers an in-depth exploration of the unique legal framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, Union). It is offered to provide an understanding of the institutional and legal foundations of this Union. Students will learn about its supranational nature, interaction of EAEU law with Member States’ legal systems, and contemporary challenges within this regional economic integration organization (REIO). The course also pays ample attention to the practical aspects of the EAEU’s functioning, including the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of individuals and entrepreneurs within the respective legal order.
The course begins by clarifying the EAEU as a regional economic integration. This is achieved through political economy perspectives on regional integration projects and their modalities, situated within the broader context of public international law (including the leading example of the European Union). In the main section, the course delves into the institutional design of the Union, exploring its founding treaty, institutions, decision-making processes, and supranational characteristics. Subsequently, the course examines specifically the legal framework of the Union, including its 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 EAEU. Students will also engage with relevant case law of the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union (CEAEU) and explore its overall relevance for the development of the Union and protection of the rights within its framework.
During this course, students are required to write an essay on current issues related to the legal and institutional design of 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.
