Introduction: one of the most important functioning aspects of modern regional international organizations is the institution of state membership. For the European Union, this issue has until recently been considered in terms of the ongoing process of developing European integration and expanding the membership of States in this international organization. In 2016, the UK held a referendum on its leaving the EU, whose positive result gave rise to the process of leaving the EU – Brexit. Brexit has produced a number of consequences, some of which will be analyzed in this paper. The aim of the study is to investigate and analyze some of the legal consequences of Brexit. Methods: in the course of the research both general scientific methods of cognition and specific legal methods (formal-legal, historical-legal) were used. Results: the paper proves that Brexit is a unique case in the practice of both the European Union and the international practice of interaction between States and international organizations. The author found that the UK’s leaving the EU entails a number of consequences, which are extremely difficult to identify, since they are very diverse and relate to completely different spheres of public relations: peace, security, economy, migration, Northern Ireland, and etc. Conclusions: Brexit becomes a process of testing completely new mechanisms and procedures that will have a significant impact both at the international legal level and at the domestic level. Today, Brexit requires careful legal support, as it directly affects the rights and freedoms, first of all, of citizens on both sides. Without a properly executed international treaty, Brexit could become a threat not only to the economic sphere, but even to peace and security in the region.

The article examines the category of resilience in the modern discourse of the European Union, its essence and characteristic features. The aim of the paper is to chart the complex process of the belated response of Brussels to the pandemic in the light of the concept of resilience of the Union, examining in detail the reasons for taken measures and its consequences for its future development, defining future scenarios. On the basis of the analysis, it is concluded that in modern conditions, resilience from an external category has gradually become internal for the EU. Moreover, this is relevant for the EU development in the context of today's COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges to European unity that it has caused. The authors review the key measures taken by EU institutions and bodies to combat the pandemic and provide economic assistance to member states to overcome its negative consequences. Based on the analysis carried out, three scenarios for the further development of the EU are proposed, and an opinion is expressed on the need to further ensure the resilience of the Union itself. Since, in any case, the pandemic has demonstrated that the era of nation states in the region is finally a thing of the past, and Europe needs much greater unity and cohesion.

The aim of the paper is to consider the international experience of delineating spheres of responsibility of national and supranational regulators in the sphere of agriculture on the example of the Eurasian Economic Union. Used philosophical, general scientific and special methods helped to provide an assessment of the process, which shows that, due to the incompleteness of the process of economic integration, the existing institutional structure of the Union cannot be considered as finalized, and therefore the assignment of certain powers to the Union's bodies is situational, which prevents the formulation of final conclusions on the specifics of delimiting the spheres of responsibility of national and supranational regulators and the boundaries of powers of national regulators in the agricultural sector. The authors concluded that Eurasian Economic Commission's powers and competence in the sphere of agriculture should be expanded in order to achieve aims of the integration entity.

One of the main trends of international relations between states is the process of regional integration, which is typical for every region of the world. As a part of the process there is a tendency of integration in financial sphere, particularly creation of monetary unions. The author analyses the main types of international monetary unions in the light of their usefulness for the developing Eurasian integration process. The paper also gives characteristics of the process of creation of international monetary union within the Eurasian Economic Union.JEL Classification: K33; K34

The article discusses the problems of the interaction process of legal systems of international integration organizations with law of states that are not members of those entities. The research has been conducted on the example of the European Union. The authors conclude that the degree of influence of the international treaties between the EU and third countries on the legal orders of these states differs depending on the level of cooperation between the parties, which is precisely determined by such agreements. The European Union law is the main means of spreading the influence of the European Union on the legal systems of non-member states. Approximation of national legislation with the European Union’s acquis is a consistent process of approximation of the legal system of the state, including legislation, lawmaking, legal technique, law enforcement practice in accordance with the criteria set by the Union. Peculiarities of the legal approximation of law of particular states with law of the European Union are determined by the nature of the relationship between those subjects, by the goals set for such cooperation and fixed in mutual international treaties, as well as by the peculiarities of the state mechanism and the legal system of the respective state. Consequently, regarding European Union – Russia interaction in the field, regulatory engagement can be hardly called as efficient, smooth, and cloudless.

The article analyzes the problems of the evolution of Eurasian integration in the post-Soviet space, the characteristic features of the process. Based on the consideration of international documents that form the basis of Eurasian economic integration, and the main organizational and legal forms of interaction between the states of the Eurasian region, the authors propose the periodization of the Eurasian integration process. Four stages are substantiated in the paper: I. Formation of integration processes within the Commonwealth of Independent States with the creation of various mechanisms of interaction between the states. II. Creation of the Eurasian Economic Community and continued integration on the basis of this international organization. III. Creation of the Customs Union of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. IV. The creation of the Eurasian Economic Union – to date. The authors conclude that the integration of the former Soviet republics was carried out at various levels of cooperation, the logical result of which was the formation of the Eurasian Economic Union as the highest form of integration of the post-Soviet states at the moment. Further development of this international organization requires both a well-developed legal framework and the creation of appropriate economic, political and other objective prerequisites.

Legal harmonization has been playing a central part in international relations from the second half of the XX century. This was caused by the intensification of cooperation in the economic sphere between both public and private actors from different countries. This can be seen in an example of the European Union and the Russian Federation. The goal of legal approximation of the EU law with the Russian legal system was inscribed in the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and the Russian Federation. Russia, like many countries that are not member states of the European Union, has been making efforts to approximate their national legislation to norms of the EU legal system. Legislative approximation of the EU law means transposition, implementation, and enforcement of the norms of the EU legal system in their partner countries' national legal practices; a legislative process that aims gradually to bring closer and eventually to bring into compliance partner countries' legislative framework with EU law. The research is focused on the study of modern issues of approximation between legal orders of the European Union and the Russian Federation with stress on particular branches of law, which was influenced by the process. The author starts from the evolution of the approximation process, its general issues, development of a relevant international legal basis. Features of influence of the EU on developments of the Russian legal system were identified and analyzed. As the EU-Russia legal approximation process now faces both internal and external-global threats, relevant law, developments of its different spheres and branches of the legal system of the Russian Federation, will be explored. In the focus of research, there will be developments in the following branches: civil law, labor law, technical regulation, legal regulation of higher education. The author finally gives his view on prospects of the EU-Russia legal approximation process, its development in the light of existing and future global and regional challenges and relations.

The paper gives description of the process of convergence of norms of legal systems of the European Union and the Russian Federation — their approximation. The regulatory framework for this process is considered, and its development trends are also characterized. The author analyzes the essential elements of the approximation process, notes his unilateral nature in relation to the legal system of the Russian Federation, indicating that Russia has no opportunity to influence the EU rulemaking. The reasons that reduce effectiveness of the process of legal approximation of Russian law with law of the European Union are distinguished.

This paper seeks to analyze some contemporary issues relating to the determination of a place of human rights protection within the integration processes in Europe and Eurasia. First, it briefly presents relevant developments regarding integration in Europe based on the examples of the Council of Europe and the European Union. Second, it proposes an analytical framework for the assessment of the protection of human rights within Eurasian integration, namely in the post-Soviet space. This assessment is carried out through the prism of existing inter-state arrangements, namely within the framework of such entities as the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Third, the paper attempts to identify on-going problems and legal challenges concerning the protection of human rights by regional integration organizations in Europe and Eurasia and suggests some solutions to these challenges.

The article is devoted to the issues of trade and economic integration in the Greater Eurasia region. The trends of regionalization in the Asia-Pacific region based on multilateral trade deals are studied. The analysis of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, the prerequisites for its conclusion, and the effects of implementation has been carried out. These issues were considered in conjunction with the implementation of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, including considering the current prerequisites for its expansion. The authors investigate the issues of conjugation of the EAEU and integration processes in the Asia-Pacific region within the framework of the idea of the Greater Eurasian Partnership. Specific proposals for the organization of work, based on the mechanisms for implementing the EAEU’s international legal personality, have been formulated. An overview of the possible results of the conclusion of the Agreement in Greater Eurasia in the economic and geopolitical context is presented.
