metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Integration aspirations of Kazakhstan and Russia seem to many experts to be a solid basis
  for the development of cooperation in the common border area. However, recent research
  has convincingly proved that political and economic integration do not automatically bring
  border regions closer together and develop institutions of cooperation between them. Under
  these conditions, participants in cross-border interactions are forced to rely on the still preserved
  elements of the common Soviet heritage — economic ties between large enterprises
  and especially a common culture and values. The purpose of the work is to analyze the nature
  of the influence of demographic and sociocultural trends of recent decades on cross-border
  cooperation between Russian and Kazakh regions. This study shows that the common sociocultural
  space of the border area, on the one hand, undoubtedly creates the potential for
  integration and cross-border cooperation, on the other hand, it inevitably becomes a matter
  of concern for states seeking to legitimize their rights to border areas through a special linguistic,
  historical, cultural and symbolic policy aimed at uniting ethnically and culturally diverse
  populations in political nations. The policy of “Kazakhization”, the demographic policy
  of the Russian and Kazakh authorities, as well as the natural course of demographic processes
  contributes to the erosion of the common sociocultural space of the border area. The analysis
  of expert interviews showed that the basis of “unorganized,1” “spontaneous” cooperation of
  the population is still cross-border trade, as well as mutual trips with consumer and tourist
  purposes. The main beneficiaries of such contacts are the Russian regional centers, especially
  the millionaire cities, where study and further life are considered as a desirable life trajectory
  for many young Kazakhstanis and, above all, ethnic Russians. By attracting more and more
  migrants, the largest Russian cities contribute to further polarization and erosion of the socio-cultural space of the border area, which can significantly reduce the potential for cooperation
  in the long term.
