Abstract

The article examines the views of scientists on the definition of the content of the category cooperation, which made it possible to establish the existence of political, program-Project, regional, integration, sociological, realistic and Conflict-Cooperation approaches to understanding this concept. The existing models and forms of development of cross-border cooperation are studied. The classification of types of cross-border railway transport cooperation has been supplemented with the following features: 1) project implementation duration: one-time, long-term; 2) the form of implementation of cooperation: transport communication, virtual interaction, localization of production; 3) the nature of relations: formal, informal; 4) groups of projects of strategic cross-border cooperation of railway transport: projects for the development of freight transport and logistics, projects for the development of passenger transport, infrastructure development projects, traction services development projects, production and service development projects. Examples of infrastructure projects implemented on the basis of cross-border cooperation are given. The interrelation of priorities for the development of railway transport infrastructure and goals-values of socio-economic growth of regions within the framework of cross-border cooperation is revealed. Strategic directions for the development of railway transport infrastructure within a cross-border region are defined. It is proved that the development of railway transport infrastructure within cross-border regions should occur at the expense of: first, improving interoperability with EU railways; second, expanding virtual interaction; third, stimulating the creation of localized production facilities; fourth, the growth of the quality and availability of transport and logistics services within cross-border regions.
