relationships with China, Japan, USA and Korea. At the same time, the international

transport corridors linking the countries of Western Europe and Asia Pacific Region

pass through it, and extensive cooperation with foreign partners takes place. It is widely

represented in the form of joint ventures. But because of the transition to the global

level this is becoming insufficient. It is necessary to expand the cooperation through the creation of transnational corporations and companies. Such development of cooperation has already happened in the field of electric power. However, the Far East, despite all the steps taken, is still relatively autonomous, radially locked region. To change this situation, it is necessary to realise resource and infrastructure energy projects, and thereby transform the Far East into a region of production and transit of hydrocarbons,electricity, and coal in the direction of energy centers in the countries of Northeast Asia.

Key words: regional economy, Far East, small business.
