Advanced special economic zones in the Russian Far East: a secret resource for Asian market growth
Back in December 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin defined the development of the Russian Far East as a national priority for the 21st century. That was the beginning of the latest chapter in the history of the region, which, since the Tsarist era, has been seen as not just Russia’s window onto Asia, but as the key to the formation of the entire Eurasian space.
