{"product_id":"the-commonwealth-of-independent-states-marcus-goncalves-9781947098220","title":"The Commonwealth of Independent States Economies: Perspectives and Challenges","description":"The year 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the official inauguration of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a free association of sovereign states comprised by Russia and 11 other republics that were formerly part of the Soviet Union. Although this loose association of states may not exist as a fixed-entity on the globe, it is believed that this bloc of countries will continue to build upon the various separate regions in the former Soviet space in the coming decade. This book provides a regional analysis and a country scan of the CIS regional block economies. It examines its history since the breakup of the formal Soviet Union and the formation of the CIS bloc, including creation of regional agreements such as the CIS Free Trade Area and the Eurasian Economic Union, which now represents more than 180 million people. As a whole, our text attempts to better understand current, and future, prospects for economic growth in the region, as well as their individual national challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Goncalves, Erika Cornelius Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947098225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947098220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Business Expert Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Marcus Goncalves","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321645232383,"sku":"9781947098220","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f349097-1ea0-4136-8e31-8d92cf3f0113.jpg?v=1696331955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-commonwealth-of-independent-states-marcus-goncalves-9781947098220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
