Mechanism of formation and development factors of international transport corridors

Abstract

International transport corridors are developing under the influence of a complex of factors and conditions. The decisive factor in the development of international transport corridors is the spatial localization of transport routes in neighbouring countries and the possibility of their integration into a unified transport system. In addition to territorial proximity, the formation and development of international transport corridors are also influenced by economic, military, legal, and institutional factors. The effect of these factors can be both stimulating and limiting in relation to the country’s participation in the transport corridor. This study analyses the essence, factors of formation and development of international transport corridors, examines the structure and mechanism of their creation based on the integration of transport systems of neighbouring countries to ensure stability and stable passage of transport and logistics flows through their territory.
