Abstract
The author discusses the main trends in the economic development of the border regions of Russia and Kazakhstan in the context of trade and investment interaction between the two countries. Cross-border Russian-Kazakh cooperation has not yet fully contributed to the development and modernization of the economies of the regions of the two countries. Half of the Russian regions bordering the Republic of Kazakhstan and most of the Kazakh regions bordering the Russian Federation developed more slowly than both countries as a whole. Such a lag is largely due to the inland location of these regions of the two countries, which are located far from large domestic and foreign markets, another negative factor is their predominantly resource-based economy. The author offers specific recommendations for strengthening trade and economic cooperation between the border regions of the two countries, taking into account the impact of new large-scale anti-Russian sanctions.
