Stereotypes of Transport Logistics in Geopolitical Analytics

Abstract

It has been shown that among traditional stereotypes of the geopolitical analytics used for transformation of political instability zones into the of development territories, the image of the country determined by the term “gate-regions” or “corridor-regions” is significant. Their transport and logistics projects (TLP) become elements of the geopolitical space structure. It has been suggested to carry out the analysis of structural aspects of interaction between geopolitical factors and transport and logistics projects by means of cognitive models. Cognitive models of geopolitical conflict have been considered. It has been proposed to decrease conflict escalation by means of effects of proactivity, suppression and negative feedback. Continuous conflict suppression in the conflict loop is achieved through irreducible potential in the TLP development loop and blocking of growth potential of conflict escalation in the negative feedback loop.
