Актуальные направления меридиональной трансформации транспортно-транзитной системы Азиатской России

Abstract

The study focusses at describing and determining the prospects for the implementation and operational routes of the meridional transformation of the transport and transit system (TTS) of Asian Russia (AR) in the context of external sanctions pressure and the development of trade and economic cooperation with friendly and neutral states. Goal. Development and implementation of a promising model for connecting the TTS of Russia and the countries of the Global South, primarily in the direction of North Asia – Central Asia – South/West Asia. Tasks. To analyze and determine the prospects for the implementation and current routes of the meridional transformation of the TTS of the Republic of Armenia in the context of external sanctions pressure and the development of trade and economic cooperation with friendly and neutral states. Methodology. The research uses the methods of evolutionary and institutional theory, the theory of industrial and technological balance of the economy and technical and economic structures, expert and analytical assessments, content analysis of materials from periodicals. Results. Based on the theory of transit economy developed by the author's team, modeling the creation and functioning of trade routes and their innovation and industrial belts (IIB), a promising model of the interaction of the TTS of Russia and the countries of the Global South, primarily in the direction of North Asia – Central Asia – South/West Asia, has been developed. Theoretical, methodological, scientific and practical support for the change in the configuration of global, macroregional and regional trade routes of the AR is given, the necessity is justified and proposals for the directions of meridional transformation of the transport and communication infrastructure of the AR are developed. The necessity of intensification of the meridional transformation of the TTS AR is substantiated. The analysis of current infrastructure projects of meridional transformation is given, the groundwork, significance and complexity of the implementation of global projects of latitudinal and meridional transformation of the TTS AR are considered. Conclusions. The most effective direction of the meridional transformation of the TTS AR is the construction of a new Arctic Ocean – Indian Ocean (AO – IO) transport corridor based on the Sixth Technological Order.
