Abstract
President Putin's strategy of centralizing power in the Russian Federation has particular implications for Russia's border regions which have been pursuing engagement with neighbouring states. Altai krai and Altai Republic – two Russian border regions in southwest Siberia – are participating in a regionalism initiative with the contiguous regions of China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. This multi-lateral regional alliance between sub-national administrations aims at coordinating policy on economic development in the sub-region of the Altai Mountains. The prospects of the Greater Altai initiative hinge largely on political and economic support from the Russian federal authorities.
