RCEEL Special Issue: “The Law of Eurasian Integration”
With a view to the entry into force of the Eurasian Economic Union as of 1 January 2015, the Review of Central and East European Law (RCEEL) plans to devote a
special issue to legal aspects of Eurasian Integration.
Similar to the EU as a union built on Law, for the Eurasian Economic Union
(EEU) law also will be the main vehicle of institutional development. In addition,
the EEU also faces no small number of legal and political challenges in the region.
Inter alia, these are related to the ongoing processes of political and economic
liberalization, regional integration processes in Eurasia, the struggle between
competing European and Eurasian integration schemes, implementation of
public international law, correlation between principles of territorial integrity
and self-determination of peoples, legal status of the Caspian Sea, realization
of the provisions of the Energy Charter Treaty, struggle against terrorism and
extremism, the sustainable use of trans-boundary rivers, protection of environment, cooperation with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and increasing
Chinese influence.
The purpose of this special issue of RCEEL is to generate scholarship on
these processes and solicit contributions from lawyers and practitioners with a
comparative-law background.
Please send a two-page abstract of your proposed article to Professor Thomas
Kruessmann at <[email protected]> by 15 January 2015. The proposed deadline for the final manuscripts is 1 March 2015.
