The paper analyzes the formation of a single services market in the Eurasian Economic union. Free trade of services plays an important role in the Eurasian economic integration. It contributes to the development of cross-border trade and business ties of the EAEU partners. The impact of services sector on reciprocal and international trade of member-states is expected to grow further in future as a result of deepening of economic integration and expanding of external economic relations of the EAEU.The paper reviews economic and institutional factors, which may hinder integration of member-states services markets. Among economic impediments the author highlights such factors as a low volume of intraregional trade in services, member-states' orientation on third countries in trade in services, a low level of diversification of brunch structures of their trade in services, a low share of innovative and business services in reciprocal trade, as well as monocentric system of trade in services (with one dominant state in the Union as a main supplier and consumer of services). As an institutional factor the author regards a lack of supranational mechanism of liberalization of reciprocal trade in services. Eurasian economic commission elaborates the plans of liberalization of trade in services. However the power of Commission to influence the decision making process in this sphere is limited by the member-states. The regulation of a single services market belongs to the authority of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council and is beyond of the scope of direct competences of the Commission.

The purpose of the paper is to show the prospects and risks of the formation of uniform judiciary bodies in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. To this end, the paper analyzes statutory instruments regulating the procedure of funding the judiciary bodies in the above countries, in particular Constitutions, codes, constitutional and federal laws. The problems of social guarantees to judges are identified; the system of financing the courts as well as funding procedures adopted in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan are described. The study contains two comparative tables that demonstrate the differences between the legal systems of the states and possible areas of improvement and harmonization of their legislations. The first table shows the key characteristics of the systems of funding the judiciary bodies in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, while the second table contains social protection guarantees for judges in the countries. Finally, the author puts forward a proposal that the number of courts in the Russian Federation should be reduced arguing that the budget financing of the judicial systems should be implemented separately for each individual court. Such a financing system ensures the maximum efficiency and independence of the judiciary system.

In recent years the development of public program evaluation has received growing attention in Kazakhstan. An institutional and legal base for program evaluation has been established. However, the examination of literature has evidenced that there have been rudimentary attempts to interrogate evaluation practice, particularly at the regional level. It is still not well known how effective or valuable it is. It is imperative to run a diagnostic and assess the evaluation system to answer this question. This article aims to evaluate the quality of regional program evaluation practice in Kazakhstan. It applies a meta-evaluation tool to understand the extent to which such practice complies with three fundamental and recognized evaluation standards: namely, value, validity, and utility. As a sample, the study used evaluation reports conducted by regional Audit commissions. This research is the first attempt to apply established evaluation standards to the Kazakhstani context. Therefore, it was assumed that some discrepancies with the standards may occur. Having confirmed this hypothesis, the findings indicate that regional program evaluation falls far short of these standards. The paper identified many conceptual and methodological problems, which seriously compromise the validity and soundness of evaluation practice. It is expected that it will stimulate discussion in academic and subject matter expert circles. Furthermore, having identified key areas for improvement, the study may help reform the evaluation field and contribute to better policy- and decisionmaking, thus saving taxpayers’ money and improving people’s wellbeing. In the end, the research put forward several recommendations for strengthening evaluation practice.
