Abstract

More than two decades has passed since presenting the first design proposal for economic cooperation among the countries of Central Eurasia in 1994and forming the Eurasian Economic Union in 2015. During this period and in order to create economic integration in Central Eurasia, different acts, including the formation of the Eurasian economic community aimed at expanding and coordinating economic activities as well as the creation of the customs union and common economic environmentamong regional countries have been carried out to facilitate economic relations.
Now, the main question is to what extent the post-Soviet economic integration in Central Eurasia has been successful over the years? To answer this question, based on international politics and four variables in Cantouri and Spiegel models, and in particular, in the case of economic and international political economy, the issue has been investigated. Furthermore, based on these two views, the rate of success in economic integrations has been studied. The study shows that the success rate of economic integration in Central Eurasia has not been remarkable and will be remained weak if the past patterns are followed up. However, the region has got the neglected capacities that can change this path.
