Subject The article addresses relations between the Russian Federation and foreign States, represented by the authorities of public law entities of each nation in the process of implementing the State policy on cross-border cooperation. Objectives We focus on assessing the implementation of the Russia's State policy in the field of cross-border cooperation through consideration of principles, objectives and areas of such cooperation. Methods The study draws on methods of systematization, classification, and comparison. Results We review the regulatory environment of cross-border cooperation, present principal powers of public law entities in the sphere of cross-border cooperation, describe the main types of cross-border cooperation between Russian regions and the territories of neighboring States. We pay special attention to the cross-border cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan (by highlighting the main forms of cross-border cooperation, the chronology and subjects of forums for interregional and border cooperation). Conclusions Today, a considerable number of States have concluded that the model of mutually advantageous cooperation is more beneficial for existence and development as compared to the model of isolated development. The scope, areas and forms of cross-border cooperation with border areas affect the development of respective regions and States as a whole, and contribute to better management of core capacities and near-border position.
