ABSTRACT The Union state-the Union of Russia and Belarus – is the most significant integration project in the CIS space, which marked the change of centrifugal tendencies in the post-Soviet space by centripetal ones. Russia and Belarus were among the first CIS member States to realize the need for close integration. Almost immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and Belarus signed bilateral trade and economic agreements, which recognized the right of the parties to pursue an independent foreign economic policy. Thus, Russia and Belarus were the pioneers of integration processes in the region.RESUMEN El estado de la Unión - la Unión de Rusia y Belarús - es el proyecto de integración más importante en el espacio de la CEI, que marcó el cambio de las tendencias centrífugas en el espacio postsoviético por las centrípetas. Rusia y Belarús fueron los primeros miembros de los estados de CEI en darse cuenta de la necesidad de una estrecha integración. Casi inmediatamente después del colapso de la Unión Soviética, Rusia y Bielorrusia firmaron acuerdos comerciales y económicos bilaterales, que reconocían el derecho de las partes a perseguir una política económica extranjera independiente. Así, Rusia y Belarús fueron los pioneros de los procesos de integración en la región.

Capítulos en libros ; La UE ha extendido su frontera oriental hasta el territorio de la Unión Soviética. A excepción de Belarús, el resto de las repúblicas están afectadas por conflictos congelados. La política exterior de Rusia y la PEV, así como las relaciones bilaterales entre ambas entidades están colisionando, especialmente tras el conflicto en Ucrania. La UE no está demostrando una presencia eficiente en un área geopolíticamente vital en la comunidad internacional. ; The European Union extended their eastern border as far as the territory of the former Soviet Union. Apart from Belarus the rest of the republics are affected by the frozen conflicts.

The "European Gray Zone" consists of the spaces of transition between open conflict and peace, currently present on the eastern border of the European Union. This is EU and NATO sphere of expansion, which coincide with the European ex-Soviet space, where Moscow continues to exert a notable influence. In a scenario of growing tension between these two blocks, to resolve integration processes or alliances towards one or the other polarizes society, according to its socio-cultural characteristics and political motivations. Through sociocultural, economic and political analysis (electoral results, linguistic predominance, ethnic minorities, regional economy), hidden borders can be established in these spaces, which can emerge in situations of crisis, the case of Ukraine in 2014. This study seeks to analyze the Ukrainian case and tries to identify other divisions in Belarus, Latvia and Moldova, making reference to the different realities of each country. ; La llamada "zona gris europea" consiste en los espacios de transición entre el conflicto abierto y la paz, en la actualidad presentes en la frontera este de la Unión Europea. Se trata de la esfera de expansión de la UE y OTAN, que coincide con el espacio exsoviético europeo, del cual Moscú sigue ejerciendo una notable influencia. En un escenario de creciente tensión entre estos dos bloques, dirimir procesos de integración o alianzas hacia uno u otro polariza a la sociedad, según sus características socioculturales y motivaciones políticas. Este trabajo realiza un análisis sociocultural, económico y político (resultados electorales, predominio lingüístico, minorías étnicas, economía regional) para establecer aproximadas fronteras ocultas en estos espacios, que pueden aflorar en situaciones de crisis, como fue el caso de Ucrania en 2014. En este trabajo se analiza el caso ucraniano para tratar de identificar otras divisorias en Belarús, Letonia y Moldavia, haciendo referencia a las distintas realidades de cada país. ; A chamada "zona cinzenta europeia" consiste nos espaços de transição entre o conflito aberto e a paz, atualmente presentes na fronteira oriental da União Europeia. É esta a esfera de expansão da UE e da NATO, que coincide com o espaço europeu ex-soviético, no qual Moscovo continua a exercer uma influência notável. Num cenário de tensão crescente entre estes dois blocos, a resolução de processos de integração ou alianças para um ou outro polariza a sociedade, segundo as suas características socioculturais e motivações políticas. Este trabalho realiza uma análise sociocultural, econômica e política (resultados eleitorais, dominância linguística, minorias étnicas, economia regional) para estabelecer fronteiras ocultas aproximadas nesses espaços, que podem surgir em situações de crise, como foi o caso da Ucrânia em 2014. Este artigo analisa o caso ucraniano para tentar identificar outras divisões na Belarús, Letônia e Moldávia, fazendo referência às diferentes realidades de cada país.
Trabajo de Fin de Máster en Servicios Públicos y Políticas Sociales. Curso 2012-2013. ; [ES] El objetivo del presente estudio consiste en examinar la degradación de la calidad democrática en Bielorrusia, un país de tradiciones liberales en el que los derechos tanto políticos como personales y sociales son muy escasos. La investigación tiene el carácter de un estudio de caso, ya que Bielorrusia, conocida como "el último bastión del autoritarismo en Europa", sirve como ejemplo para demostrar como en un país de Europa se procede a una sistemática violación de los derechos humanos. No se respetan los derechos civiles básicos (la libertad, la participación en la vida pública y política, la libertad de voto, de reunión, asociación y manifestación, etc.), ni tampoco los individuales (el derecho a la vida, la libertad de movimiento, de expresión, la libertad personal, la protección contra la tortura, et.). Asímismo los resultados encontrados revelan que el sistema político de Bielorrusia afecta negativamente a la participación ciudadana e impide el desarrollo de la sociedad civil. ; [EN] The aim of this study was to examine the degradation of the quality ot democracy in Belarus, a country of liberal traditions (political, social and personal rights) very weak. The research has the character of a case study because Belarus, known as the "last bastion of authoritarianism in Europa", serves asan example to demonstrate a systematic violation of human rights in Europa. Thus, authority don't respect the basic civil rights (participation in public and political lite, freedom to vote, assembly, association and demonstration etc.), either the individual (the right to lite, freedom of movement, expression, personalliberty, protection from torture etc.). Also, the results reveal that the Belarusian political system negatively affects citizen participation and prevents the development of civil society.
The article presents the author's analysis of CIS constitutions to identify the territorial norms in them, taking into account the integrated approach to the definition of the latter. Typical constitutive formats relating to the territory in the focus group of states have been identified and characterized. The consideration of the options for constitutional and legal consolidation of the territorial norms in CIS countries is conditioned by the fact that at the time of the Soviet Union collapse "as a geopolitical reality" the republics received sovereignty and were in a comparable system of political and legal coordinates. The research attention is focused on the identification of the constitutional format concerning the territorial norms in the member states and CIS participants (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan).
The problem of combating threats of illegal trafficking of arms, ammunition and explosives at the border points of Ukraine with the countries of the European Union EU has become urgent under martial law. The aim of the study was to develop an optimal strategy for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as "SBGSU") to combat threats of illegal arms trafficking at border points with EU countries under martial law. A comprehensive methodological approach combining the following scientific methods was used: comparative method, systems analysis method, structural-functional method, survey and group expert evaluation method, classification method and determination of numerical characteristics. A model was developed to assess the threat of illegal arms trafficking on the border of Ukraine with the EU countries under martial law based on SWOT-analysis. As a result, the factors of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats, which exist in the Ukrainian border guard agency, were identified. It is concluded that the results of this study cannot be applied to the border areas of Ukraine with such countries as the Russian Federation, Belarus and Moldova.
The main purpose of the article is the analysis of properties and risks arising during the conclusion and performance of engineering, procurement and construction contracts (hereinafter referred to as EPC contracts) in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus, notwithstanding the current situation with military aggression and sanctions. The methodological basis of the study consists of the comparative legal and structural-logical method, systemic analysis and synthesis. It also describes the ways of relevant adaptation of EPC contracts in accordance with the requirements of the legislation. In addition, the authors have studied in detail the legal instruments that could help the contracting parties to establish the control due to occurrence of risks in different jurisdictions of the post-Soviet space. Finally, it was concluded that the application of EPC contracts, in the countries of the post-Soviet space, is connected with the presence of high level of political risks that should be taken into account when carrying out large-scale infrastructural projects. The results of the study will be useful to practicing lawyers, students and scientists who are interested in the examination of public relations in the field of civil works with some political influence on the development of this sector.
The article compares the impact of the Agreements signed by the European Union (EU) with the former socialist countries of the East in 1999 and with Cuba in 2016 to guarantee an institutional relationship and with the societies of these countries. In order to analyse whether the New Diplomatic Model (NDM) of the EU can be more effective than the conditionalities implemented in the EU's foreign policy before the entry of the Treaty of Lisbon with the countries that make the transition or changes from the socialist system to a liberal democratic system; or with States whose political regimes and economic systems are not comparable to liberal democracies in the 21st century. We wonder if the EU-Cuba NDM can be used in the case of Belarus, Myanmar, Russia, Vietnam, India, Mongolia or Afghanistan to accompany civil societies in these processes. ; El artículo compara el impacto de los Acuerdos firmados por la Unión Europea (UE) con los antiguos países socialistas del Este en 1999 y con Cuba en 2016 para garantizar una relación institucional y con las sociedades de estos países. Con el objetivo de analizar si el Nuevo Modelo Diplomático (NMD) de la UE puede ser más efectivo que las condicionalidades implementadas en la política exterior de la UE antes de la entrada del Tratado de Lisboa con los países que realicen la transición o cambios desde el sistema socialista a un sistema democrático liberal; o con los Estados cuyos regímenes políticos y sus sistemas económicos no son homologables a las democracias liberales en el siglo XXI. Nos preguntamos si el NMD UE-Cuba puede ser utilizado en el caso de Bielorrusia, Birmania, Rusia, Vietnam, la India, Mongolia o Afganistán para acompañar a las sociedades civiles en estos procesos.
