The project “Silk Road Economic Belt” (丝绸之路经济带) launched by the Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013 at Astana, Kazakhstan is the most single largest economic project in the world. It is the largest in terms of volume and participation of countries. This paper therefore seeks to examine some of the strategic aspects and possible economic impact to the participation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

It also analyzed the implementation of the Silk Road Economic Belt project using Kazakhstan’s Khorgos city economic development as a case. The approach used in this paper is based on an analysis of the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) in terms of strengths, opportunities and challenges for the future of China-Kazakhstan Economic Cooperation. The project therefore has many in stock for the economy of Kazakhstan when the necessary measures are put in place to tab the opportunities available.

Until recently, only economically developed West-oriented states launched integration initiatives encompassing the entire Asia-Pacific region. However, over the last few years Beijing proposed several such initiatives embracing territories from America to Africa. The paper discusses the changes in Chinese views towards the leadership in modern world. Recent events in Syria, Ukraine, South China Sea and East China Sea made it clear that the world becomes more polycentric, with Russia and China resistant to external interference in the territories of their vital interests. The latest trends in East Asian and Asia-Pacific regionalism are singled out. China and USA have been the main rivals in initiating and supporting competing integration models. China has demonstrated unprecedented activity and launched several integration projects of trans-regional (Asia-Pacific and Eurasia) and on regional levels (East Asia). However, despite its growing geopolitical and economic aspirations, Beijing is not frontally challenging Washington-led system of intergovernmental agreements and financial institutions in Asia. Instead, Beijing is forming an alternative pro-Chinese model of integration without US participation (or with their secondary role) thus trying to gradually transform the Asia-Pacific to post-American hegemony model. President Xi Jinping put forward a concept of “Asia-Pacific Dream”. It incorporates formation of the “Silk Road Economic Belt” and the “New Maritime Silk Road” that will link the economies of Asia, Europe and Africa. By proposing these large scale infrastructure projects and two new regional financial institutions (Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank and New Development Bank), the Chinese leadership renewed its global and regional politics, attempting to create a Eurasian “economic corridor” which could serve not only its regional and global interests, but for the common good of whole Asia and the world. Obviously, “New Silk Roads” strategy faces geopolitical and other challenges; yet, even it partial realization would make China a leader of the continental part of Eurasia. In terms of global and regional governance these trends can be strengthened through coordinated policy of Moscow and Beijing towards including these projects into the agenda of non-Western intergovernmental institutions, such as BRICS, SCO, Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), and others. Moreover, strategic cooperation with Russia is one of the principal factors to secure the success of China’s integration plans in the Asia-Pacific and especially in Eurasia. For its part, Moscow should deepen interaction and effectively utilize the resources of “rising” China to support Russia’s interests in Eurasia and the Asia-Pacific. It is necessary for Moscow to coordinate efforts with Central Asian states and China to elaborate co-development plans for infrastructural initiatives put forward by the SCO, EEU and the “Silk Road Economic Belt”. At the same time, Moscow should increasingly encourage Chinese investment into the Russian Far East. Acknowledgements.

The article analyzes the genesis and the potential of the Chinese Program ‘Silk Road Economic Belt’, as well as limiting factors and perspectives of further development. The article explains the dialectical relationship and the dualistic nature of regionalization. The author's hypothesis is based on the idea that the dominant purpose of regional integration as a model of the active participation of the consolidated group of countries in the region in the globalization process of stratification of the world is the desire of the participating countries to take a higher position (stratum) in the global hierarchy, and eliminate the possibility of a drift towards the periphery. The author used the concept of methodological possibilities of the ‘theory of the new regionalism’ and geopolitical doctrine of Eurasianism to explain the background and development of the capacity of the Silk Road Economic Belt, that allow to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the Silk Road Economic Belt functioning, limiting factors and perspectives for its further development.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has pursued a proactive foreign policy to strengthen ties with its neighbours. In particular, Xi has proposed two major initiatives, i.e. the Silk Road Economic Belt (an overland route) and the Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century (a maritime route), that leverage on China's economic strengths. Nevertheless, China will have to contend with the interests of other major powers as well as its own lack of soft power in its implementation.

The article aims at evaluating the One Belt One Road project implemented by China that will define long-term trajectories of the world trade and finance development as well as prospects of Russia’s participation in this project. It seems that the project under consideration is not a full alternative to the existing nowadays world system of railroad and sea shipping both from the viewpoint of the shipping cost and the scope of investment required. A possibility of full-scale refocusing of Russia’s transport systems (the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Northern Sea Route) on the One Belt One Road project is not currently obvious, thus, one cannot state with certainty Russia’s role in this project. Besides, implementing this project results in building in Eurasia a China-centric economy system that does not coincide with the structures built by Russia, i.e. the Eurasian Economic Union, the Customs Union and other ones. At the same time, the One Belt One Road project seems to have no alternatives. None of the other countries has proposed a project that can be compared with the One Belt One Road one in terms of being large-scale, having a global impact as well as long-term effects. It is believed, that after the implementation of the project is complete, the technological and social differences between Europe’s and China’s potentials, which were the reason for shipping goods from Southeast Asia to Europe over the past centuries, will be reduced to a significant extent. In terms of this the China-centric world will have to provide different noneconomic reasons for its existence, i.e. provide the world with new values and meanings of the postindustrial world. In this context Russia’s participating in the One Belt One Road project may appear to be necessary: Russia can act as a project’s security operator, a mediator between China and the countries who are participants of the Silk Road Economic Belt in cases where their interests collide. Russia can also generate values and meanings of economic processes. The safe transportation routes Russia has, i.e. the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Northern Sea Route as well as long-term friendly relations with the countries-participants of the Silk Road Economic Belt and Russia’s being experienced in harmonizing different interests can become the key aspects contributing to success of this project.

As everyone knows, the modern Silk Road economic belt is being re-vived. The last meetings of participants of this belt open a new page in the development of mutually beneficial trade and economic relations in Eurasia. In our view, the significant changes that are taking place in the world economy that are currently creating serious challenges for Russia and the EEMP are directly related to the formation of the modern economic belt of the Great Silk Road. In these conditions, new attractive conditions are created for the development of tourism business in the Kyrgyz Republic, as new tourism markets are opening in these countries. This article examines issues related to the real possibilities of joining the tourist business of the republic with the tourism businesses of the Great Silk Road countries, as well as identifies the problems, ways of their elimination and the issues of promising tourist packages in the modern Silk Road economic belt.

The Silk Road was one of the greatest commercial routes that connected China with the port regions of the Mediterranean, where considerable sized volumes of merchandise were negotiated. However, it entered a decline as the result of various factors, such as disturbances in Central Asia, as well as the discovery of new maritime commercial routes. Contemporaneously, China, currently the 2nd most powerful economy in the world, reactivated a project of this logistic and commercial route, very much to maintain its commercial competitiveness, idealized by president Xi Jinping. This audacious project, under construction, will involve great Chinese investments for the region, as well as a contribution to other nations, which will change all the geography of international negotiations.
