Functions of the Borderland As a Place
A fundamental restructuring of the system of geopolitical relations always leads to border regions facing not only the advantages of location, but also significant limitations. This proves that the borderland is a space of constant adaptation to restrictions at different levels. In conditions where the development of border territories ceases to be inertial in nature due to the fundamental restructuring of the external circuit of connections, whi…
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…
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…
Borderland Phenomenon
The influence of borders on the spatial organization of the life of society determines the need to take into account the borderland phenomenon: a phenomenon that endows the territory with special properties and functions. A number of authors interpret the borderland phenomenon as a predisposition to interact with a neighbor. It can broach a variety of problems and restrictions associated with a border, from the cultural influence of a neighboring…
On the Road to Food Self-Sufficiency after 2014
Russia’s foreign trade relations in the 2010s developed in the face of various geopolitical challenges, which led to a radical transformation in the volume and geography of export–import operations. For the food sector, the key challenge was the food embargo of 2014, which, in turn, intensified import substitution policy in Russian agriculture and food production. The value of imports in the food market, the current level of development of agricu…
The impact of the food embargo on consumer preferences and cross-border practices in the Kaliningrad region
The Russian food market has been a fascinating subject for researchers investigating food security risks and ways to mitigate them since the embargo was imposed in 2014. The Kaliningrad region, an exclave of Russia, responded more sensitively to the restrictions than any other territory of the country due to the heavy dependence of its food market on imported finished products and raw materials, as well as the transit from Russia via third countr…
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 Access to Food and Covid-19
The economic access to food is a very sensitive topic and serves as one of the significant criteria for the standard of living of the population, especially during periods of crisis. In this regard, assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food market is of particular interest, especially in border regions, where dependence on imported food is usually significant (in the case of competitive prices) and cross-border shopping trips are …
Are the Food Embargo and Import Substitution Changing Regional Production? A Case Study of Leningrad Oblast
In the 2010s, in Russia, many conditions for the development of agriculture and the food industry changed, having experienced the consequences of the 2008 and 2014 crises and import restrictions on certain types of agricultural products and food from the EU and other countries. In Russia’s state political agenda, attention to food security has increased and the import substitution policy has intensified. Using the example of Leningrad Oblast, a r…
The Role of Retail in the Transformation of the Microdistrict Organization of the Urban Environment
The microdistrict principle of urban environment organization, developed in Soviet urban planning, formed a certain configuration for placing trade and services facilities. However, the market transformations of the 1990s dramatically affected both the number of retail facilities and their location. The objective of this research was to identify the effects of retail development for the functions and morphology of Soviet microdistricts. The work …
The Role of an Open Border in the Development of Peripheral Border Regions
Does an open border necessarily contribute to a higher level of cross-border interactions in comparison to a stricter border regime, to intensification of cross-border contacts and bring social and economic benefits for border regions? Border location of a region often means that it belongs to the economic and social periphery of a country. Is an open border a tool to destroy the vicious circle of interdependence between border and peripheral loc…
Structural Shifts in the Foreign Trade of Border Regions of Russia and Belarus in the Context of Political and Economic Challenges of the 2010s
The state of foreign trade in the border regions of Russia and Belarus is defined both by the inherited (established in the USSR) functions of the regions in trade and specialization of economies and by the consequences of contemporary political and economic events. This paper attempts to identify changes in the foreign trade of the border regions of Russia and Belarus in the context of transformation processes related to Eurasian integration, th…
