THE PLACE AND ROLE OF CROSS-BORDER AGGLOMERATIONS IN THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION

Abstract

The process of Eurasian integration in the post-Soviet space has become an effective institution for local integration, which are the border of the agglomeration. Cross-border cities offer a wide range of integration areas, in particular, they are not only the economic sector, as is happening in the EAEC, and build forms of cooperation in social policy, demographic and migration processes, environmental issues and logistics, transportation. They have the opportunity to act as points of growth in the region and the country, or over time acquire the status of international city with a significant political and economic influence in the framework of macro-regional spaces, such as Singapore or Shanghai in the Asia-Pacific region. In this issue we see the possibility of using the experience of the European Union in the implementation plan regional and local policies. Thanks to the wide powers of the border formations of the regional and municipal communities are subjects of influencing supranational processes. In mind that there is a need to create a representative body - the Committee of the regions EEU, the number of participants who can be both the regions and the Metropolitan area. Through comparative analysis, we consider the most promising cross-border agglomeration of the EEU, in particular, Donetsk-Makiivka agglomeration, agglomeration of the Big Sochi, the initiative “Almaty-Bishkek”, the Vladivostok agglomeration. The EEU to date, no institutionalized form of cross-border cooperation agglomerative. In our opinion, is the lack of a modern supranational integration processes in the former Soviet Union, the preconditions for the solution of which will be presented in the article.
