Such a programme, with the corresponding activities to train and professionalize the personnel involved, would permit the automation of data and their incorporation into coordinated networks so that electoral rolls could be effectively cross-checked, maintained and updated.
INSTITUTION BUILDING. The states of Eurasia have signed a large number of partially overlapping regional cooperation and integration agreements, with most of the more substantive ones focusing on economic issues (for the full list see Appendix). However, scholars have not reached a consensus on which regional organizations should be treated as Eurasian. Most studies include the Russia-centric economic and political agreements, while others include agreements with only Central Asian states (none of which are currently active),ii and some that include states outside Eurasia, notably China and some Muslim states (Linn and Pidufala 2009; Xxxxxxxx and Peyrouse 2012). The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which includes China, Russia and three of the Central Asian states, receives significant attention in the literature. A special case of Eurasian regionalism is the GUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Moldova) Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, based in Kyiv. Russia has accused the organization of seeking to counter the CIS, but GUAM members deny this. Most recently, they monitored the May 25, 2014 elections in Ukraine (GUAM 2014). Another possible sub-region are the trans-Caucasian states, but these are never discussed as a region, as the seemingly perennial conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan makes cooperation impossible. Georgia is mostly focused on Europe, Armenia looks to Europe and Russia, while Azerbaijan turns toward the Islamic states in the region. Finally, the countries surrounding the Black Sea have created several organizations, sometimes with the aid of Western states and international organizations. These agreements demonstrate that Eurasian states are often part of other contiguous or sub- regions, a point we discuss in more detail in the “Contested Regions” section. Scholars generally divide Eurasian economic regionalism into three eras. First, in the initial post-Soviet years, 1992 to 1994, the CIS dominated, with its ambiguous and wide-ranging goals. While some founding documents discuss strong economic and political cooperation, others look at the CIS as a tool to coordinate reforms and limit the costs of disintegration (the tool of ‘civilized divorce’, see Kux 1996). The CIS was designed as a purely intergovernmental organization, where all members had the right to opt out of any agreement or decision. Many just did that, weakening the organization. Initially, the CIS was based on Soviet organizations and institutions (e.g. the co...
