Abstract

The article is devoted to the integration logistic Eurasian Central Asian projects of the XXI century. We will review the major major projects that run through the territory of the Central Asian countries. Let's start with the biggest project, the New Silk Road. This is a global geopolitical project to create a transport, energy, trade corridor between the countries of Central and South Asia, Europe and Russia, initiated by the leader of the PRC, SI Jinping, in 2013. Next, consider the TRACECA logistics project. The main direction of the TRACECA program is the development of the transport corridor from Europe to the countries of Central Asia through the Black Sea, the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. From a technological point of view, the program focuses on the transport of cargo on a single transport document for the entire route, using different modes of transport. Then we will study the integration project of the Central Asian Regional Economic Cooperation (hereinafter referred to as CAREC), initiated in 1997. The main goal of the project was to stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty through the development of economic interaction of the Asian member countries of the CIS with border states. Having considered these projects, we will single out the role and place in them of China, Russia and Mongolia.
