Political-Economic and Socio-Philosophical Aspects of Cross-Border Communication in the Eurasian Space

Relevance. This study focuses on the main features of the development of cross-border communication in the post-Soviet Eurasian space. At the center of the discussion is cross-border cooperation between the Russian Federation, as well as the Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, considered under the prism of transformations in the development strategy of the EAEU and the Central Asian region. Purpose.
The purpose of this study is to consider and define the cultural and socio-economic foundation necessary to accelerate the processes of cross-border communication in the specified region.
The objective of the research is to analyze cross-border migration, cross-border trade, economic and financial communication, as well as cross-cultural interaction. The study provides a comprehensive assessment of the dynamics of the mutual movement of citizens, goods, cross-border transactions, the nature of intercultural and informational and educational communication.
Methodology. The study is based on a systematic approach, which is based on a set of methods for structural, statistical and dynamic assessment of the processes under study, as well as tabular interpretation of empirical and factual information.
Results. Based on the results of the analysis of cross-border policy, institutional and cultural-historical barriers are identified that prevent the acceleration of cross-border communication of states, and ways to overcome them are proposed. The key drivers of the acceleration of cross-border communication are: the status of the Russian language as a language of interethnic communication, an increase in labor migration, as well as an increase in the flow of goods and cross-border financial transfers. The barriers that have a deceleration nature towards the development of cross-border communication in the region include: a quantitative and qualitative decrease in the share of those who speak Russian, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as interethnic legislative contradictions in the field of migration and trade regulation.
Conclusions. The study suggests a number of strategies to transform the current state. In particular, the development of «soft power» technologies and mechanisms of «sitizen diplomacy». Based on the results obtained, the authors of the study come to the conclusion that the acceleration of cross-border communication in the Eurasian economic space should be based on joint historical experience and cultural and civilizational community.
