Abstract
The concept of Eurasian integration has become a key and dynamic phenomenon in modern international relations. The present study is focused on assessing the potential of legal development of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), justification of measures for its adaptation to the changing social and legal reality. The current legal integration model of the EAEU is assessed. The focus of the study is on three interrelated issues: key aspects of legal integration, including the creation and development of legal frameworks, their principles, as well as the relationship between the national legal systems of the member states and EAEU law; the place of EAEU norms in the national legal system of Kazakhstan; and the justification of strategic paths and measures for the long-term integration evolution of the EAEU. In conclusion, this article offers findings on the legal complexities of Eurasian integration. The importance of legal cooperation and harmonization as essential components of the evolving project of regional integration is highlighted. The results of the study expand the potential of the theory of integration processes in Eurasia, fill it with new methodological content, and allow conceptualizing the implementation of further empirical studies of integration processes in the post-Soviet space.
