Abstract
Recent studies on regionalism tend to view regions and regional organisations as distinct actors in global affairs. This paper seeks to contribute to these discussions of regions’ actorship capabilities by exploring the regionalisation process among post-Soviet states driven by the Eurasian regionalism project. The progress in regional integration among post-Soviet states, including the establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union among Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia with the Eurasian Economic Commission as its supranational body, and the developments within the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, provides rich empirical data for the approaches in contemporary regionalism studies to assess whether or not we are witnessing the emergence of a region with actorship capabilities.
