Abstract

The development of Russia’s foreign economic potential in the current conditions of globalization is inextricably linked with the assessment of the prospects for implementing the country’s transport and infrastructure potential. The importance of transport in the conditions of increasing instability of the world economy is a factor in the sustainability of the national economy. Implementing a cluster approach to the development of an efficient and modern transport and logistics infrastructure will help to accelerate the movement of goods and reduce costs in international trade, as well as the consistent integration of the country’s transport system into the global network of international transport corridors. Hence, the Trans-Siberian Railway occupies a leading place in the Russian state policy on the formation of international transport corridors of latitudinal striking. The Trans-Siberian Railway’s ability to provide international transit container transportation as an alternative to the traditional sea route is being considered. In this regard, consideration of the prospects for integrating the projects of international transport corridors with the participation of the Trans-Siberian Railway is most relevant. This article discusses both economic, technological and political factors that influence the potential effectiveness of this project. The prospect for the development and integration of the Trans-Siberian Railway with the Trans-Korean Railway leads to the creation of an effective transport corridor for the foreign trade of the countries of Southeast Asia and Europe, primarily the Republic of Korea with the EU countries, as well as with Russia. Analysis of the foreign trade turnover of these participants of economic cooperation shows the perspective of dynamics and the huge potential of foreign trade. Attention is focused, on the one hand, on the competitive advantages of the Trans-Siberian Railway, including an increase in throughput capacity, which is largely due to the use of the polygon management model.

Highlights

International transport corridors (ITCs) are becoming relevant in the conditions of increasing interconnectedness and interdependence
The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway in the Russian Federation, guaranteeing direct and safe access to both Russian and transit goods from the ports of the Far East to the European Union
The dynamic development of trade and economic cooperation between countries and the world's trade and economic blocs requires appropriate transport support, which can improve the increase in traffic to service regions with the global transport system and the dynamic growth of the cargo base characteristic of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region (APR) with regard to the East-West trade [5]

Summary

Introduction

International transport corridors (ITCs) are becoming relevant in the conditions of increasing interconnectedness and interdependence. Existing as a single integrated complex, they have different transport systems of the states participating in the corridors, representing several countries with different national regulations, customs regimes and different widths of the railway track. The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway in the Russian Federation, guaranteeing direct and safe access to both Russian and transit goods from the ports of the Far East to the European Union. The modernization and development of the Trans-Siberian Railway are carried out with the active support of the state. The dynamic development of trade and economic cooperation between countries and the world's trade and economic blocs requires appropriate transport support, which can improve the increase in traffic to service regions with the global transport system and the dynamic growth of the cargo base characteristic of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region (APR) with regard to the East-West trade [5]
