Abstract
The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), established in 2015, brings together Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan in an economic union designed to facilitate intraregional economic links among its members, modernise their economies and improve their global competitiveness. Existing literature on the EAEU has examined the political and economic origins of the EAEU, its institutions and its progress to date. However, it has overlooked an important emergent area of cooperation among the EAEU member states in formulating and implementing common industrial standards and innovation policies. This chapter seeks to fill this gap by considering the case of Eurasian technology platforms (ETPs) as one of the main mechanisms of industrial cooperation in the EAEU. In the process, it redefines how to assess supranational organisations like the EAEU as separate from the ostensibly comparable European Union (EU), and demonstrates the complexity of an integrative experience that goes ‘beyond Brussels’.
