International Transport Corridors of Greater Eurasia and the Role of Russia

  The development of international trade and the fundamental and complex changes that this form of international economic relations has undergone in the last quarter of a century have led to the need to explore the possibilities of accelerating international transport corridors in Greater Eurasia as a factor in increasing and stabilizing trade in this macroregion, developing bilateral and multilateral trade and economic relations between the countries, ensuring the sustainability of the socio-economic process and bridging existing gaps between countries in various fields.  The purpose of the article is to systematize the main directions of development of international transport corridors in Greater Eurasia in terms of the possibility of forming a Eurasian transport framework and ensuring the economic interests of the Russian Federation.  The author substantiates that it is more expedient for the Russian Federation to pay more attention to transport systems within the framework of the Eurasian international transport corridors, without leaving them at the mercy of other interested parties, even despite the difficulties that this process involves today.
