Abstract
The paper is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of international transport corridors as a provider of ideas and instruments of liberalization aimed at assigning transport infrastructure to transnational corporations under the auspices of the development of integration processes and their transport service. To achieve the goal of the study, the authors analyzed a wide range of theoretical and empirical data illustrating the claims of Western and, most recently, Eastern multinational corporations on the sovereignty of Russian infrastructure industries. If international transport corridors include transit through Russia, then participation in them takes the form of export of transport services. At the same time, if investments in infrastructure development are foreign, then the type of income for such operations can be considered as a land rent, since the benefits depend only on the ownership of large or small land plots. The article shows the logical transition from this conclusion to the conclusion about the formation of fictitious capital of Russian infrastructure industries as a result of their inclusion in the activities of international transport corridors. The second hypothesis, which is need to be proved or disproved, is the negative role of UTLC (United Transport and Logistics Company) in achieving rational and fair management of container transportations within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Summarizing the two lines of the study, the authors concluded that there are risks for national capital and qualitative indicators of the development of infrastructure industries as a result of the active development of international transport corridors.
Highlights
The development of international transport corridors is complicated by the fact that the technical equipment and regulatory restrictions of border and joint areas between different modes of transport determine the time of passage of goods along the transport corridor much more than the main speed.The OSJD (Organization for Cooperation of Railways) international transport corridors, the transport corridors Europe - Western China and Western Europe - Western China, the sea transport corridors Primorye-1 and Primorye-2, and the corridors of the Northern and partially Central branches of the Silk Road Economic Belt pass through Russia in the West - East direction
Against the backdrop of a global contraction of demand, the international division of labor becomes an unaffordable luxury, and the global finance circulation model drastically changes - trade and economic unions are aimed at forming markets for goods, works and services produced in countries proclaimed as the world financial centers
The growth of export of transport services due to involvement in international transport corridors is complicated by the presence of geopolitical contradictions between Russia and the trans-regional blocs located in the East (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) and the West (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership)
