ABSTRACT
The article analyzes the genesis and the potential of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), as well as limiting factors and perspectives of further development. The article explains the dialectical relationship and the dualistic nature of globalization and regionalization.

The author used the concept of methodological possibilities of the "theory of the new regionalism" and geopolitical doctrine of Eurasianism to explain the background and development of the capacity of the EEU, that allow to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the EEU functioning, limiting factors and perspectives for its further development.
