“…Steady depopulation of rural areas and population concentration, of population and economic activities in Eastern European countries -the so-called "compression" of social and economic space -has been the subject of studies of several research papers seeking to identify any general pattern or determinants of income disparities across regions (Chapman & Meliciani, 2018; see also Romanova, Vinogradova, & Frizina, 2015). The transformations in Eastern Europe, that has led have led to the emergence of a handful of dynamic metropolitan areas on one hand and to some underdeveloped, scarcely-populated peripheral regions, on the other hand.…”

Demographic change is a complex phenomenon, but it has generally been accepted that having better employment opportunities and quality of jobs are among important factors that determine people’s mobility. The purpose of this paper is to test the relationship between the increase in the number of people living in urban areas and the job opportunities in these areas in Albania. In order to do so, we performed a statistical analysis of a dataset on labor force surveys for the time period of 2007-2013. Our findings confirmed a positive correlation between the increase of individuals living in a certain area and job opportunities for specialized occupations in that area; however, a significant relationship was not found when job opportunities in general, in general, were considered.

“…Open borders usually result in the intensive crossborder flow of both people and goods (Pociute and Daugirdas 2013), while strict border control has a negative impact on demographic and economic conditions. Nevertheless, demographic depression and economic shrinking can be observed even near open borders (Romanova, Vinogradova, and Frizina 2015;Cross-border cooperation … 2013). Border regions which traditionally suffer from weak economic development and infrastructure are de-connected even more.…”

Does an open border necessarily contribute to a higher level of cross-border interactions in comparison to a stricter border regime, to intensification of cross-border contacts and bring social and economic benefits for border regions? Border location of a region often means that it belongs to the economic and social periphery of a country. Is an open border a tool to destroy the vicious circle of interdependence between border and peripheral location? The case of the boundary between Russia and Belarus offers a good opportunity for answering these questions. It is the only boundary in the post-Soviet space where customs and border control practice have virtually never been in place. Its regime and functions are determined by the policy of integration declared by the leadership of both countries. The paper is based on an analysis of statistical sources, 59 expert interviews and 320 structured interviews with local inhabitants collected during field studies in 19 border rayons (2008-2018). The conclusion is that processes of state-building in both countries and the separation of their economic and social space had a much stronger influence on borderlands than the openness of the boundary and the policy of integration. Most border rayons remain depressed.
