Доклад: Геополитические и геоэкономические проблемы

5. Материалы по научной поездке на российско-финскую границу.

В программе конференции (25-28 января) предусмотрена НАУЧНАЯ ПОЕЗДКА: “ВЛИЯНИЕ ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ ГРАНИЦЫ НА ОСВОЕНИЕ ТЕРРИТОРИЙ (пример российско-советско-финской границы)”. Геополитические и геоэкономические проблемы России и Украины не являются уникальными. Влияние перемен государственных границ на процессы освоения территорий носят достаточно типичный характер. Участникам конференции предлагается совершить научную поездку в район Выборгской Карелии, территории до 1917 г. входившей в состав России, а до советско-финской войны 1939-40 гг., принадлежавшей Финляндии. Во время поездки будут детально продемонстрированы изменения в освоении территории. Участники поездки будут проживать в Выборге (красивый и очень характерный город). Чтобы получить адекватное представление о влиянии изменения государственных границ на освоение территорий, также предусмотрена возможность посетить с двухдневным визитом приграничные районы Финляндии. Это позволяет сравнить различные подходы к освоению территорий. Для проведения научной экскурсии привлекаются видные специалисты Санкт-Петербурга.

Для участия в конференции, заявки делаются в электронном виде.

Последний срок подачи заявок 5 января 2001 года.

LOCATION OF THE CONFERENCE:

The reorganisation of post-soviet space is being witnessed. This process arouses a great number of practical problems. Up-to-date scientific methods often do not give an ability of understanding the current processes. The reality has changed, so the scientific theories and methods should be brought into accord with it.

The conference itself should help in forming an association of scientists in different branches, who work actively at Ukrainian geopolitical and geoeconomical problems and at Russian-Ukrainian relations.

The main purpose of the conference is not in discussing the most actual political problems of Ukraine, but in approaching to objective scientific analysis of current processes in Ukraine and in studying of their influence on the neighbour countries.

The conference will focus on the questions, related with forecasting and scientific analysis of geopolitical and geoeconomical processes, taking place in Russia and Ukraine. Program of the conference includes many aspects — ethnic, economical, geopolitical, demographically and the others.

Attention of the participants is offered to be concentrated on the following problems:

· correlation of state, economical, ethnic, natural and the other types of frontiers on the territory of Russia and Ukraine;

· change of geopolitical status of Russia and Ukraine, prognoses and scripts of development;

· regionalization of Ukrainian territory (types and features of Ukraine’s regions and their dynamics);

· economical problems of Russia and Ukraine and their influence on the neighbouring countries. Problems of Ukrainian integration into the international economy. EEC and CIS: alternatives or complimentary ways of development?;

· Ukrainian population problems (migrations, demography, language and cultural);

· “New” Ukrainian elite and relations between its different parts;

· actual problems of Russian-Ukrainian relations.

Special attention at the conference will be paid to theoretical and methodological aspects.

The scientific journey“Impact of frontier’s alteration on development of the territories” (25 – 28 of January) is planned in the programme of the conference. Geopolitical and geoeconomical problems of Russia and Ukraine are not unique. Influence of frontier’s alteration on the process of territories development has rather typical character. Participants of the conference are offered a trip to the region of Viborgsky Karelia. Till 1917 this region was the Russian territory; till the Soviet – Finnish war (1939 – 1940) this region was the Finnish territory. During the journey influence of frontier’s alteration will be displayed in details.

Participants of the conference will live in Vyborg. In order to set equivalent idea of influence of frontiers alteration on development of the territory we offer the opportunity to have two days visit to Finnish frontier region. It makes possible to compare various approaches to the development of the territories. Prominent experts from Saint-Petersburg are enlisted for realisation of the scientific part of the trip.

It is supposed to bring out published work of abstracts of the conference on the basis of the conference reports.
