This paper aims to analyze how Russia could develop different regional models of economic cooperation in
order to integrate better into the world economy. Russia’s new strategy especially after the establishment of the
EurAsEC and its perception of regionalism, especially in the context of EurAsEC, is an important issue. This is
valid not only for the specific analysis of the current concept of regionalism; but also for identifying the key
variables of both the new international order and the changing character of new inter-state relations. With in this
context, Russian foreign policies toward former Soviet republics in the areas of economy and energy have
significant effects on the formation of a new world order. This article therefore aims at studying the attempts of
the integration process within the EurAsEC that can be defined as a unique example combining both the process
of old regionalism with the new one. Thus, EurAsEC is also worth analyzing not only for drawing inspiration
from the EU; but also for being the only example declaring its ambition in its founding treaty of customs union
to become a supranational integration process in the post-Soviet area.
