This article focuses on the correlation between
the contemporary crisis phenomenon in
the Eurozone and some CIS countries, and
the existing Euroregions. We attempt to analyze
the interdependence of the qualitative
aspect of cross-border relations of European
countries with their economic sustainability
in the context of regional international integration.
The theoretical significance of this
work lies in the revealed correlation between
the efficiency of cross-border Euroregions and
the additional resources that can be retrieved
in the framework of national economic policy
during global recession. The practical component
lies in clarifying the conceptual framework
for the formation of successful crossborder
cooperation in today's Europe. The
authors employed the historical-descriptive
approach and factual consideration of the
cross-border and macro-regional level of interaction
between European countries.
The main results are as follows. The crisis
in several EU countries is associated with
a complex of causes that deplete the platform
for multilateral cooperation in Europe. To a
lesser extent, the crisis has affected the states
that are actively involved in cross-border cooperation
projects. The formation of European
regions is closely related to the industrial
development of their regions. The Post-Soviet
space requires a redistribution of the overcentralized
power. The abundance of Euroregions
along the perimeter of certain states
may be an indicator of economy's resilience
to potential shocks.
The provisions set forth in the article
contribute to an improvement of the scientific
understanding of political regionalistics and
take the current understanding of the international
system to the level of cross-border relations
and institutions creating a system of interrelated
elements of macro-regional and
national building. The results can be applied
in the development of a conceptual and legal
framework for the construction of cross-border
political formations in the Post-Soviet
space, especially, within the Eurasian Economic
Community, which coined the concept
of «eurasiaregion».
