Title: Typological Features of the European and Asian Parts of the Russian Border : The Example of the Northwestern and Far Eastern borders
Authors: Kireev, Anton A.
Abstract: The article is devoted to the high differentiation of the European and Asian parts of the Russian border regarding the level and rate of development of cross-border relations. In the author’s opinion, the main reasons of such differentiation are related to typological features of the given parts of the border, which are caused by the history of their formation and development. The content and origin of the typological features of the European and Asian parts of the Russian border are studied in two representative segments – the Northwestern and Far Eastern – which have strong distinctions in terms of volumes of cross-border flows of people, goods and investments. Based on the developed typology of state borders, the author examines the process of historical development of the Northwestern and Far Eastern parts of the border of Russia from the end of the eighteenth to the beginning of the twenty-first century. These border segments are now at different stages of their typological evolution. The Northwestern border, during the post-Soviet period, has embarked on the road to becoming a transnational border type, but the Far Eastern border has not yet completed the process of forming the attributes of a linear border type.2012-12-31T15:00:00ZKireev, Anton A.The article is devoted to the high differentiation of the European and Asian parts of the Russian border regarding the level and rate of development of cross-border relations.

Title: The Effect of the Border on Chinese Direct Investments : Evidence from Russian Border Regions
Authors: Novopashina, Alina
Abstract: This paper describes the effects of the border on Chinese direct investments to Russian border regions. The findings of this paper show that Chinese direct investments to Russia gravitated to industries in the border regions exporting their goods to China and to the production of non-tradable goods in non-border regions. The net Chinese foreign direct investments (FDI) inflow to Russian border regions is very small but the development of border trade led to informal investments between Russian and Chinese border regions. The case study of Amur oblast suggests that informal Chinese investments go to the sectors associated with trade: logging (raw timber primarily exported to China), construction of shopping malls, wholesale and retail. The results suggest that the amount of informal Chinese investments significantly exceeds the amount of formal investments.2012-12-31T15:00:00ZNovopashina, AlinaThis paper describes the effects of the border on Chinese direct investments to Russian border regions.
