Abstract

The article presents the results of research, a comprehensive scientific review and analysis of the main approaches to the problem of the evolutionary development of transport and transit systems (TTS) and the interface of infrastructure and integration projects in order to form the Greater Eurasian partnership (GEAP) in the space of Global Eurasia. Transport and construction, organizational and institutional problems of infra-structural support for the formation of GEAP are identified. It is shown that the research community has three options for considering the infrastructure integration project “Belt and road” (B&R), such as: building a network of routes for Euro-Asian transport; including a comprehensive mechanism for China's external expansion and its international trade relations to solve internal problems; forming a global political, social, economic, and cultural space based on the movement of energy, goods, technologies, competencies, and others. It is proved that at present only the Chinese B&R initiative can become an effective basis for the evolutionary development and integration of infrastructure and integration projects in the Greater Eurasia area. A scientific review of possible ways to use the Chinese B&R initiative to form a GEAP with Russia's leading participation is given. The most effective forms and methods of combining alternative B&R infrastructure and integration projects for the formation of GEAP for the development of the TTS of Russia have been identified.
