  • Republic of Kazakhstan
    Kazakhstan as a Transport Bridge between Europe and Asia Geographically advantageous location of Kazakhstan in the centre of the Eurasian continent between Europe and Asia provides the country with unique opportunity to establish efficient straight transit corridors connecting Asia and the Pacific with Europe. Transforming Kazakhstan into the largest transit country of Eurasia is a main state policy in the field of transport. State of transport infrastructure is an important factor for the economy of Kazakhstan, and it mostly impacts on effective implementation of transit opportunities of the country. In this regard, priorities in developing transport sector of Kazakhstan are to be: Integrating national transport system into Euro-Asian transport network; Harmonizing national transport legislation with international rules and standards; Facilitating investment climate. Currently, there is such a trend as sustainable growth of transport complex role in country’s economy. Substantial public investments are being allocated for its development as functional opportunities of transport infrastructure should be ahead of development pace of economy with establishment of necessary preconditions for high speed growth. 2010 has become a year of summing up the first decade of the new century.

  • Ukrainian-Russian Trade and Economic Relations Under Global Integration*
    UDC 339.56(478.9:470) Ukrainian-Russian Trade and Economic Relations Under Global Integration* SERGIY PYLYPENKO** ANNOTATION. Examining Ukraine’s trade and economic cooperation with the Russian Fed- eration (RF), as they integrate their economies into the world economy, the author of this article focuses on the integrative priorities of both countries: cooperation within the framework of CIS, BSEC. SES, EU, WTO and other organizations. Moreover, the author considers the possibility of converging the actions of Ukraine and Russia within the context of their accession to the WTO or coordinating with Russia the accession of Ukraine to the WTO. In analyzing the inte- grative priorities of Ukraine and Russia, the author offers his scenarios for the development of Ukrainian-Russian relations. KEY WORDS. international economic integration (IEI), Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Single Economic Space (SES), Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC), World Trade Organization (WTO), European Union (EU), European Free Trade Association (EFTA). Introduction As dominant factors in the development of international relations at the current stage, global integrative processes also impact on the evolution of trade and economic relations between individual countries. The nature of the impact depends, first of all, on the place of one or another country in the global integrative processes as well as on the specifics of the interrelationship between them in the past and what they can be in the future. As regards Ukrainian-Russian economic relations, it can be argued with sufficient reli- ability that the impact of the first factor will be negligible, because so far these countries have a low level of integration into the world economy.

Address all communication to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Preface The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated its current Industry and Trade Summary series of reports to provide information on the rapidly evolving trade and competitive situation of the thousands of products imported into and exported from the United States. Over the past 20 years, U.S. international trade in goods and services has risen by almost 350 percent, compared to an increase of 180 percent in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), before falling sharply in late 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. During the same two decades, international supply chains have become more global and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity or industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the railway rolling stock industry primarily covers the period from 2004 to 2009, and includes data for 2010 where available.

  • A Challenge and Opportunity for the Emerging Authoritarian Regime in Ukraine
    Russian Expansion: A Challenge and Opportunity for the Emerging Authoritarian Regime in Ukraine PONARS Eurasia Policy Memo No. 146 May 2011 Olexiy Haran, University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Petro Burkovsky, National Institute for Strategic Studies, Kyiv The year 2010 marked a swift rapprochement between new Ukrainian authorities, headed by President Viktor Yanukovych, and the Russian tandem of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev. The Kremlin and its loyal conglomerates managed to convert their growing political influence into a number of strategic agreements in Ukrainian energy, industrial, and financial sectors. However, these achievements did not meet early Russian expectations regarding possible Ukrainian concessions, while Ukraine’s new ruling elites were surprised and disappointed with the Russian government’s neglect of reciprocity and parity in economic and international affairs. As a result, both countries took a tactical timeout to reconsider their relationship. Although it is premature to say that a new crisis is evolving between Ukraine and Russia, there is clear evidence of a crisis in trust between the Ukrainian and Russian leadership. The Kremlin’s “All-Business” Approach After Yanukovych won the February 2010 presidential election, the Kremlin began a diplomatic and economic expansion in Ukraine that took advantage of Yanukovych’s pro-Russian rhetoric and the huge losses of Ukrainian business groups from high gas prices and economic contraction. In early May 2010, the Russian version of Newsweek published
