Global Governance and Interaction between International Institutions: The Challenge of the Eurasian International Organizations

ABSTRACT

This essay is an introduction to the special issue and it outlines the main guiding puzzles and questions raised in different contributions. The special issue asks the following general questions. How Eurasian organisations are ‘embedded’ in the global and regional governance networks? What empirical and ideational strategies are implemented on the part of these organisations? How do they interact with traditional international institutions? The contributions in this issue develop different empirical and theoretical approaches to address these puzzles and to contribute to our understanding of Eurasian international organisations as actors in global governance and economy.
