The article presents an exposition of Arctic cooperation between Russia and China in the context of the Eurasian Economic Union development. China is viewed as a subject of the generally accepted segment of the Arctic economy. The author analyses Russian-Chinese strategic cooperation in the Arctic through the prism of the conjugation of the Russian Northern Sea Route and the Chinese Maritime Silk Road of the 21st century (Ice Silk Road). The key factors of the two countries' interest in the joint development of the Northern Sea Route are identified. The researcher Kuklina E. A. determines promising cooperation areas in the Arctic macroregion (expert and analytical activities in the form of creating Russian-Chinese "think tanks"; investment activities in the form of direct investments in offshore oil and gas projects).

The paper addresses key political economy dilemmas associated with the formation of the Common Economic Space (CES) by Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. Analysis is focused on alternative integration strategies, prospects of the CES enlargement, and elimination of trade and investment barriers. Unification of regulatory norms and technical standards using the EU experience as well as negotiating free trade agreements with the EU and countries of the Asia-Pacific are shown to be crucial for the future of the CES project.
