Abstract: The first two decades of the third millennium have clearly
displayed the need to deal with the burden of historical heritage related
to human security and, in fact, to growing insecurity. Moreover, no
nation is able to solve this issue unilaterally – isolated from regional,
transregional, as well as global trends and developments. Therefore, the
emerging trend of regionalization presumes the mounting synergy of
nations in an attempt to reveal, reduce and eliminate existing threats to
human security. Regional security issues were aggravated by Azerbaijan
with its widespread aggression along the entire border against the
unrecognized state of Artsakh. This became a real threat to neighboring
countries and the entire region due to the active involvement of Turkey’s
army with the use of NATO weapons and internationally restricted
missiles and other armaments. This is considered a terrorist attack against
a peaceful population, involving thousands of specially trained mercenary
terrorists from Turkey, Pakistan and Syria. Soon after the start of the war,
terrorists appeared in Armenia, Iran, Russia, and even in Europe,
bombing synagogues, churches, and attacking peaceful citizens. The war,
terrorism and their consequences are spreading rapidly. Joint efforts are
required not only for the fight against terrorism, but also against other
threats during this fragile peace. Issues related to environmental
security are among the various threats that face the human race in the era
of digitalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. While many threats
are prioritized globally and formulated in Sustainable development goals,
others are justified by national and international experts.1 Our study
concentrates on threats at the regional level, particularly covering the
relatively new regional formation called the Eurasian Economic Union
(EAEU).
Keywords: economic threats, environmental security, Eurasian Economic
Union, regional challenges, war in Artsakh.
