| Summary/Abstract |
As the world economy grows increasingly globalized and business activity centers arise at regional and subregional levels, Russia is faced with the challenge of sorting out its priorities as it prepares to integrate more closely into the world economy. ... For much too long already, Russia's economy has been linked to European countries, and at present the 25 nations of the European Union handle over 52% of this country's foreign trade. ... Against the backdrop of problems besetting Russia's relations with several countries linked with it in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the prospects for continued integration with its closest neighbors are getting murky.
