Forecast: Intensive transformation of globalization model opens up new opportunities for EEU
ArmInfo.The intensive transformation of the world globalization model opens up new
opportunities for the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), according to Vladimir Lepekhin, Head of the Institute of EEU Countries.
"I think this process that started since Donald Trump was elected US
President has big prospects. The United States has experienced not
only a power shift, but formation of an absolutely new foreign
political line, a concept that implies transition of global
governance from unipolar to a multipolar system," he said.
Such trends in the US foreign policy opens up new opportunities and
horizons for Eurasian integration projects and they are a real chance
for a number of countries on their way to gaining true sovereignty,
first of all, economic sovereignty. Lepekhin noted that the
globalization model of economic development first of all implies
inevitable loss of the participants' sovereignty, whereas the
Eurasian integration model implies strengthening of the sovereignty.
"For instance, the parameters of Armenia's economic development are
set in Brussels, London, Washington, etc. The different vectors of
globalization and Eurasian integration processes gives Armenia a
chance to gain its own sovereignty," the expert said.
