The globalized world has witnessed the development of a number of
economic integration projects, including at least two Eurasian projects:
the Eurasian Union and the Belt and Road Initiative. These initiatives
blur the European Union Global Strategy adjusted in 2016 to be an
attempt to reconsider and enhance the role and place of the European
Union as the leader in the global arena. These initiatives must be
studied and considered further to understand the numerous benefits,
opportunities, and challenges they face. Regional Economic Integration
and Global Competition in the Post-COVID-19 Era: European Union,
Eurasian Economic Union, and the Belt and Road Initiative provides
insight into the reasons and consequences of the discrepancy in the
legal restrictions, institutional policies, and mutual skepticism on the
economic integration progress. The text is also useful in defining and
promoting a regional strategy of economic integration and the creation
of mutual trust. Covering a range of topics such as international trade,
environmental risk management, and globalization, this reference work is
ideal for policymakers, government officials, strategic decision makers,
practitioners, researchers, scholars, academicians, instructors, and
students.
