Abstract:
The article examines public law approaches to regulating the development of transport infrastructure in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). It is noted that legal regulation of the development of the AZRF transport infrastructure is focused on state financing of seaports and airports, the creation of river-sea transport corridors of the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor “Northern Sea Route”, the organization of northern delivery and Arctic transport and logistics hubs. The legal regime of the AZRF transport infrastructure facilities is studied using the method of legal analysis of regulatory and legal materials of the transport industry. Also, the methods of regulatory and comparative analysis of the relationship between legal, digital, technical and operational regulators of transport entrepreneurial activity in the AZRF are applied. An analysis of the provisions of strategic documents and investment-legal and technical-organizational regulations governing projects for the development of sea and air ports in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation demonstrates that they are aimed at integrating the transport and investment activities of single economic entities and integrated technological facilities within the Arctic Zone’s transport systems. This is reflected in federal laws on priority development areas in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, on the protection and promotion of capital investment in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, and elsewhere. Resolving these objectives will significantly improve the integration of interregional legal regulation for the development of Arctic transport infrastructure, ensuring, on this basis, comprehensive interaction between all Arctic Zone entities in achieving the shared goals of creating Arctic transport infrastructure. Constructive lobbying of state interests in supporting investment in the Arctic transport sector is noted.
