Economic growth and competitiveness of the country depend on the logistics efficiency. The article assesses the efficiency and level of logistics development based on the international ratings analysis in the Eurasian Economic Union countries (EAEU) which have close trade relations with Kazakhstan. The indices of efficiency and effectiveness of logistics development, as well as their components are being analyzed. Differences and trends in their changes are revealed based on the comparative analysis of the logistics efficiency index of the countries with the highest indicators and the countries of the EAEU. The problems of logistics development are considered and the directions for increasing the efficiency of logistics development in the EAEU countries, including Kazakhstan, are justified. Recommendations are proposed to improve the efficiency of logistics. ; peer-reviewed

exhausted several integration-related benefits, while the associated expenses have increased. Russia's accession to the WTO exacerbated problems with sales of Belarusian commodities in the Russian market. The excessive dependence of Belarus on the Russian market amid a recession there has resulted in a growing foreign trade deficit. Complications and conflicts of interests among the Customs Union members were escalating, which will remain a determining factor throughout the entire process of creation of the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC). The problem of oil duties paid to the Russian budget, which has been fundamentally important to the Belarusian leadership, was not resolved, so it remains on the 2014 agenda. Belarus' exclusive dependence on Russia increasingly restrains the autonomy of the Belarusian government, which in many respects concerns management of national enterprises considering that Russian banks are their direct lenders.

It can be assumed that international relations terminology has not mentioned enough about the significance of the Eurasian Economic Union in territorial as well as in economic terms during a period of growing geopolitical risks and high interdependence between the member countries and the rest. According to Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev, it is truly difficult for states to overcome economic, political and security issues and therefore, states need to act together against the problems in a globalizing world by establishing regional and international organisations. This article thus examines the Eurasian Economic Union integration proces, which is driven by political and economic factors that consolidate regional security and create an effective economic system, whether it in the long term will become successful or not. The author also analyses the Kazakh economic and strategic interests in the region as well as the motivation, power and influence of other members in deepening the cooperation with international arena and the limits in the economic-security integration.

The report presents the results of macro-simulations of the consequences of different excise policy scenarios for 2018–2021 in two EAEU countries, Russia and Kazakhstan. Three scenarios are considered: (a) the low-taxation harmonization level and rate of growth proposed by the Eurasian Economic Commission; (b) the somewhat higher taxation harmonization option proposed by the Eurasian Economic Commission – here referred to as the "compromise" scenario; and (c) the high ("optimal") scenario of rapid excise growth, which is a scenario closest to the recommendations of the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) and the EU harmonization experience.

"The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which includes Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia, is a new but substantial regional organization. Significant achievements include a common external customs tariff, a customs union and a common labour market: a well-developed institutional environment has emerged to support and advance these processes, ranging from the Eurasian Economic Commission and the EAEU Court to the Eurasian Development Bank and the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development. This major integration achievement also has several drawbacks and 'stumbling stones'--some due to Russia's dominant position, some due to the authoritarian nature of political regimes, and some due to dependence on oil and gas exports. This book presents a detailed qualitative and quantitative assessment of the Eurasian Economic Union, including the history of Eurasian integration, the macroeconomy of EAEU member states, an assessment of trade and investment links, a descriptive analysis of the EAEU Treaty, an analysis of Eurasian institutions, the sociology of integration, the EAEU's emerging foreign economic policy, relations with the EU and China, the EAEU's position on One Belt One Road policies, and its mid-term policy agenda. This primer text will be of interest and value for students, academics and practitioners working in economic policy and business communities and interested in the history and development of the Eurasian Economic Union."--
