Geostrategic territories
The term ‘geostrategic territory’ was introduced in the Spatial Development Strategies of the Russian Federation, adopted in 2019 and 2024. However, the principles for identifying such territories remained ambiguous, with no clear priorities or differentiation criteria specified. This study aims to conduct a substantive analysis of the concept of geostrategy and its derivatives across various fields of scholarly knowledge, drawing on both intern…
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…
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) …
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…
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,…
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…
