| Summary/Abstract |
This article will analyse Israel's past involvement (1956-1973) in Africa, in the context of a wider theoretical conceptualisation of the role of spatial development in the construction of moral geopolitics. Re-thinking the relevance of postcolonial critiques, the paper examines the political and institutional setup underlying Israeli involvement in development in Africa, documenting the scope of this phenomenon by looking at policy makers, professionals and institutions, studying the role of spatial development and planning in the design of Israel's policies, and analysing the actual results of such projects. Despite considerable Israeli involvement and investment in spatial development projects in postcolonial Africa, the existing literature on the subject is narrow, dealing mainly with pragmatic political interests, and there is hardly any structured documentation of Israel's exported spatial development to Africa - its scope, qualities, successes or failures. Moreover, in the wider literature the analysis of spatial development as "exported" knowledge is perceived as a by-product of the polity between Empires and the Margins - an assumption that this paper aims to question.

| Summary/Abstract |
The authors consider questions of Russia's "turn" to the East as attempts to eliminate considerable imbalance in its economic cooperation with the West and the East and the diversification of Russian foreign policy. Special attention is paid to modernization problems of existing territorial economic entities and formation of new structural links in inadequately developed regions of the Russian Far East.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article discusses some relevant problems of the spatial development of Russian Priamurye, i.e., Khabarovsk Territory, Amur Region, and the Jewish Autonomous Region. The results of afield sociological study conducted by the authors in these regions in September 2020 are presented, as are some comparative data for social well-being of the northern and southern regions of the Far East according to the results of a survey taken in August and September 2019. A sample is constructed on the model using key features in their set and based on quota-proportional and territorial methods. The sample size is 659 respondents. The empirical object of the study is the regions' adult population. The social situation of Priamurye's population, their attitudes toward migration and toward labor migrants from abroad, the economic situation, and the development dynamics of key enterprises of the mezzoregion are considered. The article discusses the main causes of mass migration intentions. Also, social stratification in the regions and increasing income disparity are still serious problems. The population of Priamurye is acutely aware of increasing income disparity in the mezzoregion and points to the lack of social justice as an important factor motivating migration. Virtually, in order to retain and attract people to Priamurye, it is necessary to maintain a higher living standard in these regions than in European Russia. The remoteness of the Far East and its more severe climate require compensatory mechanisms in other areas, as well.
