The Current State of Barriers in the EAEU in the Context of the New World Economic Order

Abstract

The research aims to reflect the current state of barriers in the EAEU in conditions of the new world economic order. To achieve this purpose, the authors use the following theoretical methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, and generalization. As a result of the systematization of scientific works, it turns out that the assessment of barriers may include the use of SWOT analysis, a survey of exporting enterprises, indicators of non-tariff barriers, and economic-econometric models. After a comprehensive generalization of the methods of studying the scientific problem, the paper reflects the dynamics and structure of barriers in the internal integration market. The analysis of the number of barriers for 2016–2023 shows mixed results. Before 2019, there was a rise in the number of barriers. After 2020, a decline of barriers is revealed. Currently, most barriers of the EAEU countries affect issues of tax policy and provide for the participation of Belarus. In the final part of the scientific work, the authors conduct a SWOT analysis to identify the possibilities and threats of the EAEU in the conditions of existing shortcomings and threats to Eurasian integration. The results of the scientific research provide an opportunity to form an author’s approach to the systematization of methods for studying barriers and identify opportunities and strengths that the EAEU member countries can use in the face of existing global challenges.
