Commonwealth of Independent States: Constitutional, legal and environmental realities

The formation and development of the Commonwealth took place ambiguously, in difficult conditions, formed under the complex influence of external and internal geopolitical, environmental and inner factors, and did not have the desired dynamics. Successful implementation of the ambitious tasks to further deepen the integration processes in the CIS is impossible without the inclusion of constitutional and legal tools. In the presented work, the authors propose approaches that are possible at the current stage of development of the CIS and its member states to increase the effectiveness of constitutional, legal and institutional support for the development of the Commonwealth.
