- Abstract
- In the article, we assess how likely it will be to involve the DPRK in the implementation of Russian regional policy in the Far East. The Far East in the post-Soviet period is chronically the most backward macro-region of Russia, along with the Northern Caucasus. The Russian government considers international business as one of the key drivers of the development of the region We analyze the role and weight of the DPRK in the functioning of the regional economy, historical experience, the political environment and the infrastructure basis of bilateral cooperation, possible directions of industrial cooperation in the interests of the development of the Far East. It is concluded that the DPRK has a direct impact on the economy of the Far Eastern Federal District to a minimal extent. In the absolute majority, these ties are concentrated in the Primorsky Territory. Its indirect influence lies in the fact that inter-Korean tensions are holding back large-scale trilateral projects that could seriously improve the infrastructure and logistics of the Far East, give jobs to local subcontractors, introduce neglected farmlands, mineral deposits, and other natural resources into economic turnover. The main obstacles to expansion of trade, we believe the nature and structure of the economy of the DPRK, aimed at autarkic survival in an unfavorable international situation The softening of the sanctions regime by Russia and creating of common industrial zones on the Russian side of the border will help to use the resource of the DPRK for the development of the Far East.
