Regional Food Markets of the Western Borderland of Russia
The article reveals the mechanisms of adaptation of food markets of Russia’s western borderland to the integration and disintegration processes that have taken place on the external and internal borders of the Eurasian Economic Union since 2014. Based on a case study of Kaliningrad and Smolensk oblasts, the authors identified changes in the regional food base in the context of active import substitution, assessed changes in food preferences of th…
Cross-border cooperation in the Russian borderlands
The article analyses the institutional aspect of cross-border cooperation on the Russian borders and considers various forms and types of cross-border interactions. The author shows how the geopolitical crisis in relations with the West and the Russian "turn to the East" have affected and may still affect the evolution of cooperation institutions. The author concludes that in order to intensify cooperation on the Russian borders, it is necessary …
Theory and practice of cross-border regionalization. Lessons for Russia
The article analyzes the theoretical and practical experience of cross-border regionalization at the internal and external borders of the EU. It also discusses the possibilities and basic principles of transferring this experience to Russian borders. Understanding cross-border regionalization as a multidimensional and multilevel process leading to the formation of diverse cross-border regions (CBR), the authors offer their own model of such a reg…
Barrier Function and Transport Accessibility of State Border as Factors of Cross-Border Interactions
The intensive integration and cross-border regionalization observed at many interstate borders in Europe in recent decades have made the concept of barriers at the state borders extremely popular. Low border barriers are rightly perceived by researchers as one of the necessary conditions for intensive cross-border cooperation, and as its regular outcome. However, when assessing barrier properties, many researchers focused exclusively on the state…
The Russian–Belarusian Borderland
Cross-border regionalization is a process and at the same time a result of development of cross-border interactions leading to the emergence of cross-border regions. Rethinking the European experience and the postulates of the Soviet regional school, cross-border regionalization researchers are trying to understand the principles of building cross-border regions on Russia’s new and old borders. However, many fundamental questions remain open. Wha…
Adaptation of the territorial organisation of agriculture in a peripheral region to the operations of agricultural holdings
Agricultural holdings are often cited as the main beneficiaries, on the one hand, of organisational and structural changes in Russian agriculture during the post-Soviet period, and on the other, of the transformation of state policy in response to contemporary geopolitical challenges. This paper examines the adaptation of the territorial and sectoral structure of agriculture in a socioeconomically peripheral region in response to the expansion of…
Demographic and Sociocultural Challenges to Cross-Border Cooperation on the Russia–Kazakhstan Border
The integration aspirations of Kazakhstan and Russia seem to many experts a solid basis for development of cooperation in the common borderland. However, scientific studies of recent years convincingly prove that political and economic integration does not automatically ensure the convergence of border regions and development of institutions for cooperation between them. Under these conditions, participants in cross-border interactions are forced…
The border as a barrier and an incentive for the structural economic transformation of the Kaliningrad exclave
This paper aims to study how geopolitical shifts affect regional economies and their structures. Border functions and regimes act as tools for the economy and society to adapt to the redistribution of political influence, movements of people, goods, capital and information between integration associations, individual countries and their cores. A changed environment may slow down the development of some industries (and even cause them to decline) …
Border divergence or convergence in the context of integration
A state level integration process should first and foremost have a positive impact on the border areas. The current Russian-Belarusian and Russian-Kazakhstan borders acquired the status of ‘state borders’ in 1991 as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union. While Russia and Belarus immediately embarked on the path of integration in the 1990s, effectively cancelling border controls, Russia and Kazakhstan were forced to resolve border security …
Economic Development as a Challenge for “De Facto States”
The significance of economic factors in the emergence and development of “de facto states” remains insufficiently studied and debatable. This article deals with the case of South Ossetia, one of the six unrecognized republics that emerged in the post-Soviet space. Based on the study of statistical data, secondary sources and expert interviews with representatives of local authorities, business, and the academic community, the authors analyzed str…
Territorial Gradients of Socioeconomic Development of Russia’s Borderland
Socioeconomic differences in different parts of Russia’s borderland are analyzed. Based on a compiled database of statistical indicators for 2000–2016 characterizing demographic, economic, and social development, as well as external economic ties of Russia’s border regions and neighboring countries, the territorial gradients on both sides of the Russian border are assessed on a comparative basis. An increase in differences in the demographic pote…
Regionalisation in Northern Europe and the Northern Dimension in Russian political discourse
The progress and sustainability of international cross-border region formation is a major concern for Russia, a country bordering sixteen states. In the early 2000s, the development of regions with Russian participation was at its height in northwestern Europe. Cross-border regions arise both naturally, stemming from various functional relations, and as a result of political decisions. In the latter case, political discourse is an important facto…
Economic and social reforms in the North Caucasus
Problems regarding the development of the North Caucasus have been key issues on the agenda of federal and regional authorities for many years. Their visions of the possibilities and methods of development vary widely. Practically all regional elites place emphasis on the uniqueness of their republics, while the federal authorities, on the contrary, seek to move beyond the asymmetry of the relationships, seeing the solution to the problem as a br…
The barrier function of Russia’s borders
Research of state borders has long discussed a contradiction typical of many countries, between growth in cross-border flows under the influence of globalization and regional integration processes and the persistent, sometimes intensifying, barrier function of borders. Barrier functions, along with contact functions, are the main ones of any border. This article considers their relations in regard to intensifying contrasts in the political–legal,…
Results of the Policy of Post-Soviet Economic and Social Reforms in the North Caucasus
Transcarpathian oblast and Kaliningrad oblast
The ethnocultural, historical and socioeconomic factors of cross-border cooperation in the eastern borderlands of the European Union are analyzed with a case study of two regions: Kaliningrad oblast of Russia and Transcarpathian oblast of Ukraine. They have a number of similar geographical and historical features: both regions are eastern parts of the European Union periphery and the western periphery of the postSoviet space; they are isolated fr…
Structural features of the economy and gradients of socioeconomic development of the border regions of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine
The authors analyze the dynamics of the main socioeconomic indices in neighboring regions of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. They evaluate the terrotiorial gradients along the borders as one of the main factors of cross-border cooperation. They characterize demographic differences, depths, and directions of economic transformation of neighboring regions, as well as their influence on existing cross-border interaction and outlooks for different form…
Geography and economy of the Kaliningrad region
Being an axclave, the Kaliningrad region has been drawing attention of many researchers in different fields. Yet the prospects for cooperation between the region and neighbouring communities in Poland and Lithuania, which once constituted an integrated social, economic and political space, remain unclear. Media analysts and scholars alike tend to view the Kaliningrad region as "double periphery", since it is excluded from major modernisation proc…
