Basic principles of a strategic approach to converting the cross-border position of Russia's neighbouring regions into competitive advantages
The study of problems and prospects for the development of cross-border territories has a very relevant theoretical and practical significance. The relevance of the study of cross-border cooperation is currently not only preserved, but it is becoming increasingly important due to a significant growth in the volume and changing forms of international interaction both at the national level and at the local level. Currently, there is a list of principles regulating separately strategic planning and separately cross-border cooperation. However, the principles of a strategic approach to cross-border cooperation are not defined. The authors have identified the basic principles that meet modern requirements and problems of economic processes. The article provides a contextual analysis of the strategic planning documents of the Russian regions adjacent to the Republic of Kazakhstan. As a result, a conclusion about the insufficiency of taking into account the factor of the border position in regional strategies is formulated.
