The Role of International Transport Corridors in the Formation of Spaces of Economic Interaction Between Friendly Countries
( Pp. 72-78)
Abstract:
This article analyzes the role of international transport corridors (ITC) in shaping spaces of economic interaction between friendly countries on the Eurasian border. The aim of the study is to clarify the conceptual framework of ITCs and demonstrate how the combination of infrastructure, procedures, and digital tools influences the stability and predictability of cross-border supply chains. The methodological framework includes a comparative legal analysis of documents from the Russian Federation and international organizations (UNECE/ESCAP), as well as a technical and economic decomposition of corridors by key components. It is shown that a fully functional ITC is formed as a system of four interdependent elements: physical infrastructure, logistics hubs, organizational and legal regimes, and digital solutions (including electronic transport documents and traceability tools). Special attention is given to the supranational mechanisms of the EAEU and the coordination potential of the SCO for aligning corridor initiatives and harmonizing procedures. It has been demonstrated that the effects of the ITC include reduced transaction costs at borders, increased corridor capacity, and increased route resilience to external shocks, provided investment and administration are coordinated. The results can be used in developing ITC development programs and drafting proposals for harmonizing procedures on Eurasian routes.
