欧亚经济联盟对外经济合作评析

External Economic Cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Union

欧亚经济联盟成立至今已有6年的时间,对内努力实现经济一体化,建立共同市场,对外积极融入世界经济进程,嵌入全球价值链。在对外经济合作方面,联盟与越南、伊朗、新加坡和塞尔维亚4个国家签订了自由贸易协定(FTA),而与中国签订的合作协定仅限于贸易便利化层面。其对外经济合作的情况远没有联盟官方和学界所宣扬的那样成绩卓著,已达成的自由贸易协定层次低、规模小、内容少,对联盟成员国的贸易经济拉动作用极为有限。坚定的步伐和保守的做法形成鲜明的反差,恰恰说明其经济实力难以支撑战略意图。但是,这不仅符合联盟的经济利益和战略目的,而且是俄罗斯经济以小博大的重要抓手。中国应清醒认识自身在欧亚经济联盟国际经济网络中的定位。

The EEU has been striving for internal and external integration over the past six years since its foundation.Compared to the FTA agreements signed by the EEU with Vietnam,Iran,Singapore and Serbia,the cooperation agreement reached with China is intended merely for trade facility.The external economic cooperation of the Union has exerted very limited effect,in stark contrast to the achievements as announced by the authorities and the academia.Such contrast indicates that Russia's economic strength is too weak for its strategic objectives.However,it can also be perceived as an important means for Russia to realize great ambition with limited resources.It is advisable for China to be aware of its position in the international economic network of the EEU.
