Аннотация


During the last 20 years, use of infrastructure projects for geoeconomic purposes has increased significantly. However, very little empirical research has been carried out to determine the effectiveness of this use. Moreover, even fewer of them have tried to develop recommendations for improving competitiveness. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the competitiveness of Northern Sea Route, its influence in geoeconomic way and develop recommendations for improving competitiveness. Two examples (Northern Sea Route, Suez Canal) of infrastructure projects were researched by analysis of their general, technic, economic characteristics, limitations and geoeconomic characteristics. Results of the assessment showed significant weaknesses in competitiveness of Northern Sea Route against Suez Canal. This suggests us that recommendations for competitiveness improvement of Northern Sea Route should be developed and implemented. These recommendations were provided at the end of the research.
