Summary/Abstract |
The relation between the two close neighbors in the modern world is bound to be a relation of complex interdependence in normal situation for varied reasons. In South Asia, Bangladesh and India are not only geographically close neighbors, they also share common history, culture, and economic background. India also helped Bangladesh in its war of liberation from Pakistan in 1971, which prompted the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistani occupation and hastened the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent state. Nethertheless, the relationship between these two neighbors is not symmetrically positive. While the reasons for asymmetry in their relations are manifold, a few of them may be worth mentioning here: history, the larger size of India compared to Bangladesh, the nature of political regimes and their leaders in the two countries, the government policies, geography/border, and the economic conditions in both the countries. This paper, while examining the recent issues that have created problems and the possible areas of cooperation and development in the relations between the two neighbors, suggests that a symmetrical relation of complex interdependence between India and Bangladesh will be beneficial for both the countries in many ways.

Summary/Abstract |
China is the biggest foreign trade partner of ASEAN countries and the main donor to the development of regional infrastructure. The main trunk lines built with the help of Chinese investments in Southeast Asian countries will be linked up with important regional ports. This will make it possible to increase export cargo flows from the PRC to countries of ASEAN, the Middle East, and Africa.

Summary/Abstract |
The development of new energy export infrastructure, which bypasses Russia, has constituted a fundamental element of US and European engagement with the Caucasus in recent years, but has, to some extent, undermined Moscow's hegemony in an area that it considers to be its own 'strategic backyard'. This article examines the validity of the argument that Russian military intervention in Georgia in August 2008 was motivated by so-called 'petro-politics' and a desire to punish Tbilisi for its overt pro-Western orientation. It analyses the significance of the pipelines that transit Georgia and their implications for European energy security, together with the potential consequences of the 2008 conflict for future infrastructure developments.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper analyzes the trends of key components of transport services at the national and regional levels. It shows that, despite the adverse effect of restrictions during the 2019-2020 pandemic, Russian transport services exports are increasing thanks to growing revenues from cargo operations. A regional cross-section is taken on the basis of Russia's Far East. At the macroregional level, the share of services exports is far greater (80% higher) than the Russian national average. The major contributor to the macroregional index is Primorye Territory (7.5%), home to key seaports on the Pacific coast.
