The Modern Silk Route is offering a potential land-bridge between
China and Europe through Central Asia and Russia that offers a
complement to existing shipping routes, and is attracting growing
interest by a selected number of multinational companies. However,
the main role of the Silk Route is to support the development and
integration of the region. Connectivity to the east and west, over
exceptionally long distances, is critical to the development of the
Central Asian countries, when trading globally and between
themselves. Facilitating trade and transportation across many
borders, remains a major challenge more than twenty years since the
breakup of the former Soviet Union. The book revisits trade and
transport connectivity through the Central Asia countries along the
old Silk Route, based on knowledge from project implementation and
field research. It takes the modern perspective of supply chain
efficiency and logistics performance, which depends not only on
infrastructure but also markets and policies. Since the breakup of
the Former Soviet Union connectivity of Central Asia is a prominent
agenda. The focus has been on physical improvements of specific
transport corridors. But logistics performance remains very low,
caused by inefficiencies, at national levels, of services and of
trade and transport agencies, as well as lack of cross-border
integration of trade and transit. The book suggests that the policy
focus should not be just on physical trade routes. Rather, it
stresses the focus on supply chain reliability, and proposes policy
packages and enabling implementation practices, consistent across
countries in the region in areas such as transportation, customs
and border clearance, trade or transit. It also highlights the
complementarity of the current initiatives, including the recent
development of the Eurasian Customs Union, or the rising of trade
and investment from China.
