Russia wants to have a voice in Asia

10/17/201211:14 Russia wants to have a voice in the development of the multilateral institutional framework in Asia. It is also important for the socio-economic development of Russia’s Far East and Easter Siberia and the so-called “Asian regions of Russia”, which are very rich in natural resources but require tremendous investment. This will be key for Russia’s increasing economic integration into Asia. The integration has already been happening.

APEC-2012: results promising but not immediate

09/17/201210:38 The Asia-Pacific region is becoming the unquestioned leader of the global economy and international relations, and Russia wants to join the dynamic processes of regional integration, which, in turn, would help open up and develop vast Russian territories east of the Urals. These two strategic priorities are interconnected and are viewed as mutually reinforcing.

APEC remains an American project

09/13/201213:44 The APEC agenda continues to be shaped by the United States and its allies, while the Kremlin has only a limited influence on the processes in the Pacific. The result of the Vladivostok summit is not fatal for Russia, but it does show how difficult it will be for Moscow to integrate into the Pacific system of relationships.

Problems of Siberia and the Russian Far East

09/04/201211:08 It is a specific feature of state capitalism in Russia that all decisions and processes are centralized, so if a single actor appears in the region to pursue a consolidated policy, it will be a positive factor for the economic development of Siberia and the Far East.
