| description | The article examines cross-border cooperation between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, focusing on developing logistics in border regions. Central Asian regions face significant barriers, such as logistical inefficiencies, legal and customs discrepancies, and weak coordination, which hinder their ability to meet the growing demand for freight transportation. The article aims to propose conceptual approaches for harmonizing regulations, simplifying customs procedures, and removing obstacles to the movement of goods and services across border regions. The research methodology includes case studies of transport corridors and content analysis of data from international organizations and national statistical agencies. The analysis of the Trans-Caspian Route and the Southern Corridor highlights challenges such as high transport costs, lack of institutional support, geopolitical influences, and investment risks. Special attention is given to crossborder industrial logistics zones (ILZs), which could serve as strategic tools for reducing transaction costs and expediting cargo processing. These zones should be integrated with international transport networks and automated customs systems. The research results show that sustainable development of crossborder cooperation requires not only infrastructure investments but also institutional reforms, including the establishment of joint regulatory bodies and harmonization of legislation to eliminate administrative barriers. The article provides recommendations for simplifying customs procedures, establishing industriallogistics centers, developing transport corridors, and forming a concept of cross-border interaction. Future research directions include assessing the economic impact of the proposed ILZs and exploring digital platforms for real-time coordination of freight transportation. |
