Abstract
The development of the Maritime Silk Road (MSR) of the 21stcentury is important in order to use the positive aspects of that policy in Russia for the development of the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The global nature of the Chinese Maritime Silk Road initiative and, in general, “One Belt, One Road” is emphasized by the growing participation of interested countries in their development. The positive aspects of the MSR development policy are important for the development of the NSR. As part of the study in the specifics of the MSR, development policy a number of works by international and Russian authors, as well as official data on the development and implementation of the Chinese transport policy, were analyzed. At the same time, tools of discursive and political analysis, methods of abstracting, data collection, systematization of research positions, strategies, official data, as well as the use of an institutional approach were used. Analyzing the features of the China transport policy showed some possibilities of their application in Russia for the development of the NSR. The paper summarizes recommendations on the development of the transport policy of the Russian Federation in relation to the NSR: the need to develop a set of measures to enhance international interest; the importance of conducting a comparative analysis with the Chinese policy of promoting the MSR.
