“…One possible explanation might be the fact that Russia holds a seat in the UNSC as a permanent member which may affect the way it acts not only in the Council but also in the Assembly. This voting pattern is consistent with several other quantitative works (Degterov et al, 2018;Kurylev et al, 2018;Hansen, 2014). For example, a study conducted by Hansen (2014) finds that Russia has been a leading outlier throughout the 1990s, occasionally finding itself completely isolated on votes.…”

“…This observation is contradictory to what has been reported byKurylev et al (2018) in that their research finds that Kazakhstan was among the Russia's top three in terms of both the average level of support and the number of sessions with the maximum support among the CIS countries. This inconsistency in results, however, is partly due to the different methods of calculations.…”

“…Achieving external solidarity and geopolitical loyalty in the UNGA is a challenging task. After all, it is the place where "promises of eternal friendship fade into the background and a state's true stance on various issues manifests itself" (Kurylev et al, 2018). Geopolitical pluralism in Eurasia (as reflected in the existence of competing regional organizations), as Kurylev et al (2018) claim, makes cooperation more complicated, unstable, and ineffective while enhancing the space for independent action by states.…”

Geopolitical pluralism in Eurasia (as reflected in the existence of competing regional organizations), as Kurylev et al (2018) claim, makes cooperation more complicated, unstable, and ineffective while enhancing the space for independent action by states. There are sensitive issues that emerged over the Ukrainian question which continue to foment discord among EAEU members involving a conflict of interests (Vinokurov, 2017).…”

“…He finds that among these republics there is high convergence on pluralist norms of international society and that they tend to agree on many issues at the international level. Other scholars (Kurylev et al, 2018) have used the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the level of geopolitical pluralism in the CIS space surveying the member states' voting behavior in the UNGA. They argue that CIS countries strive for equidistance from Russia and the US when voting in the Assembly, taking opposing approaches on various issues to achieve a policy of balance.…”

This paper examines the voting behavior of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to find out their preference similarities on foreign policy issues. Based on a specific data set of UNGA resolutions from 2000 to 2020 and using two different indexes of voting cohesion, the present research addresses two empirically motivated questions: to what extent does the EAEU speak in unison externally in the context of UNGA plenary? And secondly, what was the impact the formation of the EAEU in 2015 had upon common foreign policy? The results reveal that the EAEU scores a “medium” level of cohesion as measured within the UNGA context which may indicate that members oftentimes speak with one voice while defections still occur on controversial votes. Besides, the findings suggest that no meaningful cohesion difference exists between pre- and post-EAEU periods. Finally, the study finds that the Eurasian nations are most cohesive on developmental resolutions, but least cohesive on security and human rights issues as expressed in their recorded voting behavior.

Vol. 18. No. 1. P. 127–150 [issue contents] In connection with the current trends restructuring the global world order, the task of creating regional zones of trust, including in the format of integration trade associations between states, is coming to the fore. These trends play an important role in the foreign policy of states, including Russia. In this regard, this article analyzes the strategies of the states of the post-Soviet space in relation to regional economic integration. The article uses the method of constructing a social graph. Data on the concluded regional trade agreements between the states of the post-Soviet bloc with trading partners was analyzed. The model was also tested and compared against data on value chains and investment flows. Based on this analysis, a model for the distribution of countries' strategies for regional economic integration was created along two parameters: active/passive and centrifugal/centripetal. Four variants of strategies were identified: active centrifugal, active centripetal, passive centrifugal, and passive centripetal. The article presents the results of checking the obtained model and draws conclusions regarding the prospects for the development of regional economic integration in the post-Soviet space.
