Focusing on political developments in Primorskii Krai ‐ the key frontier province in the Russian Far East ‐ the study finds that territorial security, economic incentives, and cultural identity affect proclivities for regional separatism selectively, depending on ideological and institutional constraints in which centre‐periphery relations are embedded. In the absence of ideological commitments and enforceable institutional rales and norms, centre‐periphery conflicts devolve into economic bargaining and rule‐manipulation by elites for quick material gains. The changing ideological context amidst post‐Soviet institutional transition in Russia provide the most consistent explanation of conflict dynamic between Prim...

Russia in the Indo-Pacific: New approaches to Russian Foreign Policy, 2022

Russia’s flawed mechanisms for coordinating center-regional relations and poorly developed regional institutions, have limited the ability of the Russian Far East to promote economic relations with Asian neighbors. In the past three years President Vladimir Putin has taken steps to restructure center-regional relations in hope of creating a more effective state. We examine the consequences of these reforms both for Russia's future political development and for the economic integration of the Russian Far East in Northeast Asia. This paper examines the twin challenges confronting the Russian Far East: 1) economic integration in the Asia-Pacific economy, a re...

After a review of key budgetary, administrative, legislative and policy changes accompanying Russia's 'turn to the East', the author examines several specific tools mandated by these changes to see how they have performed in practice in Primorskii Krai: special economic zones of various stripes, a land giveaway programme, transport infrastructure development and efforts to make the region attractive for investors. While the 'turn to the East' has brought intensified cooperation with China in the Russian Far East, it seems questionable whether these initiatives have entailed substantial changes in the socioeconomic conditions of the region.

In doing so, we utilize the insights offered by the constructivist school of international relations on the role of evolving identities and transnational communities for cooperation. We investigate the trajectory of the development of the Korean Russian diaspora in the context of the current troubled relationship between South and North Koreas. We offer policy-related recommendations for people-to-people diplomacy and cooperation in the Northeast Pacific region.
