The review is devoted to the work, which, perhaps, for the first time so systematically

and thoroughly analyzes the phenomenon of convergence of legal systems in the process

of globalization and modern integration formations, its impact on the development

of procedural institutions of the Russian process, prospects, advantages and obstacles,

possible tools of implementation and use from the perspective of civil procedure law in

its broadest sense. Separately stands the author’s thesis on the procedural institutions,

which could act as an object of convergence. By analogy with the EU countries, the author

refers and investigates in detail the “international competence” through the legal regime

of international competence in the existing multilateral agreements and some aspects of

the legal regime of international competence in the national legal orders of the EAEU

members. In conclusion, it is concluded that comprehensive and systemic knowledge of

the mechanism and tools of such an important and objective legal phenomenon as the

convergence (harmonization) of civil procedural law in any state, is an element of the basic

part both in scientific and practical activities of lawyers.

Keywords: convergence; harmonization; unification of civil procedural law; globalization;

international competence; recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments; mandamus

proceedings; legal instruments of legal convergence; soft law.
