On the conceptual development of the industrial policy of the Eurasian economic Union: the criteria of jointly produced goods of the EAEU and the approach to its definition

Abstract

The newest stage of post-Soviet Eurasian economic integration associated with the large-scale tasks of making a breakthrough in the economic development of its participants, including the tools of the EAEU, imposes increased requirements for the content and quality of the integration agenda. At the same time, the imperative put forward by the governing bodies of the Union of compliance of the development goals with the operational objectives of maintaining the current macroeconomic stability of the Eurasian Union in the conditions of further growth of sanctions can no longer be a sufficient condition for the advanced development of the EAEU member States. In order to ensure economic growth at a faster pace of development and with a proper synergetic effect for the national economic complexes of the EAEU States, a fundamental basis in the form of a well-thought-out ideologically and structurally sound industrial policy is required. In this context, the authors of the article touch upon such an essential element of the concept of this policy (the industrial policy of the EAEU, or the Eurasian industrial policy) as the criteria for jointly produced goods of the EAEU; an approach to its definition is proposed. Implementation of this approach, according to the authors, will create conditions for the development of mutually beneficial intra-Union production cooperation and import substitution, for a successful refraction to the post-Soviet realities of the relevant positive experience of the European Union.
