The book gives a first-time structured overview of trade-related aspects of international economic law, comparative commercial law, and dispute resolution in this region, focused on the countries in the Southern Caucasus, Central Asia, as well as Russia. It also addresses the Eurasian Economic Union. Law of International Trade in the Region of the Caucasus, Central Asia and Russia approaches international trade law with a combined public international law and comparative private law perspective, taking into account the global and European context.
