Cross Border Cooperation

Introduction: the large growth potential of integration attractiveness of the Union State of Belarus and Russia lies in the improvement of interregional and cross-border cooperation, which can create new prospects for dynamic development and influence on the world market as well as improve the geopolitical situation on the external borders of the Union State. Objectives: verification of the problem field and tools for improving interregional and cross-border interaction in the space of the Union State of Belarus and Russia. Methods: cognitive mapping, expert survey, comparison. Results: the study has revealed the discordance in the Russian and Belarus political elites’ preferences, the lack of their attention to the problems of interregional and cross-border cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, an ambiguous vision of Russian-Belarusian relations by experts. Among the methods and technologies for improving the interregional and cross-border interaction between Russia and Belarus, experts highlight, first of all, the development of the border areas infrastructure. Conclusions: the discourse on interregional and cross-border cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus manifests certain problems of an internal, external and interstate nature. At the same time,the political elites and the expert community of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus do not see the sphere of integration interaction and connection with the Union State level as priorities. The influence of the Union State on the improvement of interregional and cross-border cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus is underestimated. Consolidated interaction of political elites and expert community of the two countries is needed, which will make it possible to form an effective strategy for the development of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus on the way to bilateral integration.

Cross Border Cooperation

Subject. The article addresses relations between the Russian Federation and foreign States, represented by the authorities of public law entities of each nation in the process of implementing the State policy on cross-border cooperation. Objectives. We focus on assessing the implementation of the Russia's State policy in the field of cross-border cooperation through consideration of principles, objectives and areas of such cooperation. Methods. The study draws on methods of systematization, classification, and comparison. Results. We review the regulatory environment of cross-border cooperation, present principal powers of public law entities in the sphere of cross-border cooperation, describe the main types of cross-border cooperation between Russian regions and the territories of neighboring States. We pay special attention to the cross-border cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan (by highlighting the main forms of cross-border cooperation, the chronology and subjects of forums for interregional and border cooperation). Conclusions. Today, a considerable number of States have concluded that the model of mutually advantageous cooperation is more beneficial for existence and development as compared to the model of isolated development. The scope, areas and forms of cross-border cooperation with border areas affect the development of respective regions and States as a whole, and contribute to better management of core capacities and near-border position.

Cross Border Cooperation

The article illuminates the dynamics of bilateral cross-border cooperation between two vastly different legal-administrative partners. The analysis utilizes empirical findings of a case study on bilateral Finnish–Russian crime prevention cooperation. Currently, both the differences in national legislations and the fast-changing administrative environment make this cooperation challenging. The case study showed that bilateral cooperation, which is the dominant form of cooperation between EU member states and Russia, is currently affected by disjointed and even competing multilateral and bilateral structures, differences in criminal law and procedure, gaps between international treaties and national legislation, local and regional variations of practices, weak institutional trust and abrupt policy changes. The results indicate that the effectiveness of cross-border networks cannot be assessed strictly in terms of quantitative outcomes. Further long-term development of the cooperation requires both realistic understanding of legal-administrative constraints and strong commitment at the national and supranational political levels. Points for practitioners Future long-term development of cross-border crime prevention cooperation between EU member countries and the Russian Federation requires more flexible crime prevention instruments and institutionalization of joint investigation teams. The optimal model in joint criminal investigations with Russian authorities could be one where the evidence of the protocol of the preliminary investigation could be acquired through direct regional connections between authorities. In practice, this requires a much stronger practical trust between different levels of authorities in the EU member countries and the Russian Federation, reconciliation of differences in national legislations and long-term political commitment at the highest level.

This article examines the prospects of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of cross-border, interregional, trade, economic and integration cooperation. Including participation in integration processes within the framework of the EAEU and the CSTO, the areas of cross-border and interregional cooperation, are examples of a successful model of interregional cooperation. Integration potentials of the post-Soviet space are analyzed. The principles of economic bases of interaction, adopted during the national economic period of the USSR, determined the established process of Kazakh-Russian relations after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Kazakhstan inherited from the common economic system of the USSR a part of the unified production infrastructure, which in the 90s became even more relevant for economic cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the field of integration processes in the post-Soviet and Eurasian space, Russia and Kazakhstan are also leaders, which in many ways shape and set the pace of integration processes. According to the authors, important factors for integration processes are: geographical factor, demographic factor, economic resources, military-political factor, political factor, cultural factor, social factor, as well as reputation, information and educational resources.

The North Caucasus Federal District is one of the most difficult regions of Russia, which is due to multi-ethnicity, multi-confessionals in the first place, as well as a number of acute problems typical of the region, such as economic destabilization, open transnational issues around repeatedly changing borders, and the problem of repressed peoples. Such a circle of acute questions cannot but create a conflict-generating situation in the region. This article partially discloses the problem of religion and its significance in the region. The author reveals the history of the emergence of the strengthening of traditional religions and branches of new religious trends from them. The article used the materials of a mass survey of the population of the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation: in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, the Chechen Republic, the Karachay-Cherkessia Republic, the Republic of Ingushetia, the Republic of Dagestan, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, conducted in the summer of 2016, North – The Ossetian Department of Social Research of the Institute of Social and Political Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Department of Sociology of North Ossetian State University named after K.L. Khetagurova. In total, 1200 respondents took part in the survey, including 50 experts (journalists, scientists, officials, members of political parties, cultural workers, representatives of various faiths, lawyers). The opinion of the population of the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District and the expert community on the reasons for the spread of NRT is given. It is concluded that the basis of such movements is young people who seek their spiritual ideal, and sometimes simply social justice, which they today can’t find either within the walls of traditional religious institutions or in high society.
