The article analyses C.J.Friedrich’s institutional theory of federalism in the context of his views on the state based on the synthesis of the European and American concepts of constitutionalism. The distinctive features of his institutional theory on the order of formation and development of federal systems are illustrated, as well as its importance for modern constitutional and political theory. Separately, from the standpoint of institutional theory analyzed the domestic federal system and the Eurasian Economic Union, identifying the problematic aspects of the work of their bodies and institutions, suggestions for improving the legal regulation to improve the effectiveness of the institutions of federalism.
