“…However, Russia aimed to enhance access to a common European economic space and markets (Cronberg 2003, 95-96). This led to the expansion of relations in various political, economic, and security dimensions, with the economic dimension being wider than other dimensions (Golunov 2013).…”

Drawing on the theoretical framework of the Copenhagen School of Security Studies, the paper"s aim focuses on the role of the Nord Stream pipeline in the Russia-EU political and security relations, considering its securitization following the Ukraine crisis and Russia"s military intervention against this country. The paper, utilizing the comparative analysis method and securitization theory, argues that in the past, the Nord Stream pipeline significantly contributed to maintaining friendly relations between Russia and the EU, assisting the two parties in determining foreign policy positions and flexibility. However, following the Ukraine crisis and the subsequent development of mistrust and increased military threats, this pipeline has lost its position and stabilizing role, and it no longer fulfills its previous function of fostering relations between the EU and Russia. The paper concludes that after the Ukraine crisis, it became securitized, and rather than holding a constructive role, it has adopted a threatening role for the EU and its Western allies, especially the US.

“…The situation at Russia's borders with EU countries and China confirms the suggestion that the larger the gap in demographic and socioeconomic indicators between neighboring countries and regions, the higher the likelihood of unequal economic relations. Crossborder interactions between Russian regions and their Norwegian, Finnish, Polish, and, to a lesser extent, Baltic neighbors are based on the "poor region-rich region" pattern [25,26]. In the exports of Russian border subjects to EU countries, raw materials and products with low value added dominate; in imports, on the contrary, manufactured goods with high value added.…”

Territorial Gradients of Socioeconomic Development of Russia’s Borderland

Socioeconomic differences in different parts of Russia's borderland are analyzed. Based on a compiled database of statistical indicators for 2000-2016 characterizing demographic, economic, and social development, as well as external economic ties of Russia's border regions and neighboring countries, the territorial gradients on both sides of the Russian border are assessed on a comparative basis. An increase in differences in the demographic potential has been identified in the Russian-Chinese and Russian-Kazakhstan regions. In the post-Soviet borderland, a growing inward turn of the borderline economies for the respective countries and an increasing marginality of border zones have been identified, which hinders interaction and cooperation. It has been established that the largest gradients in the level of economic development are observed at the old borders in the European part of the country inherited from the former Soviet Union. With an analysis of the economic and trade relations between the border regions of Russia and neighboring EU countries, as well as China, it has been shown that the larger the gap between their demographic and socioeconomic indicators, the higher the probability of unequal economic relations.

“…Z dniem 1 maja 2004 r. granica polsko-rosyjska stała się zewnętrzną granicą Unii Europejskiej (UE), tzw. "schengeńską kurtyną" (Schengen curtain), utrudniającą swobodny przepływ ludzi, dóbr i usług (Golunov, 2013). Niewątpliwie granica ta wyróżnia się spośród wszystkich zewnętrznych granic Unii Europejskiej.…”

The Polish-Russian border is unique, and for many reasons. One of these relates to the role of Kaliningrad Oblast vis-à-vis Russia on the one hand, and the EU and NATO on the other, making it clear how strategically important he District is from the geopolitical point of view. A second wider issue of course concerns Russia’s position on the international stage. Unsurprisingly, the Polish-Russian border has been characterised by a significant dynamic where changes of function and permeability are concerned. Given that the border plays a role even at global level, transformations that have occurred relate to changes in EU/Poland-Russian relations, even if such top-down considerations neglect a further significance from the point of view of border residents who must struggle with issues of lack of access to a stable border. The aim of the work detailed in this paper was thus to identify the functions played by the Polish-Russian border across the whole 1990–2018 period, as well as the associated degree of permeability. And despite a relatively rich literature devoted to the border in question, it is possible to note relative neglect of the matter of how that border was created and shaped, as well as a real lack of analyses when it comes to variability in status post-2012. This gap in the Polish literature, in particular, is bridged in the present paper, whose author sought the answers to three key research questions. These related to whether, and to what extent, the Polish-Russian border actually represented a barrier; to the factors determining variability of function and permeability; and to the impact of any instability of functioning on the everyday lives of inhabitants in the Poland-Kaliningrad border region. Analysis of the material compiled makes it clear that the greatest impact on the role of the border in question is that exerted by individual decisions of central governments and the European Parliament. For the years 1990–2018 saw the border’s status change under the influence of, for example: the introduction of visa-free travel (1990–1997), the Act on Foreigners (1998–2003), Poland’s accession to the EU (2004–2007), Poland’s accession to the Schengen Area (2008–2011), the introduction of local border traffic (2012–2016), the Crimean crisis (from 2014) and suspension of local border traffic (from 2016). Additionally, the role of the border has been changed by the state of border infrastructure, procedures, the image of Russia, global trends relating to borders and relations nurtured by ruling political parties.
