Problems in development of the mineral resources base in the eastern part of Russia and perspectives of modernizing the regional economy in the context of its cooperation with China

The paper considers issues of assessing efficiency of the projects on developing mineral resources and issues of coordination of the long-term governmental and private investors' interests in Russian- Chinese cross-borders cooperation. The authors made such assessment by scenario analysis based on their own technique. Two case studies on the mineral projects for the Trans-Baikal region show that such factors as availability of investor, compliance with the Russian legislation, and current demand for manufactured products by no means always can guarantee Russian national interests and "symmetric gains" from the Russian-Chinese collaboration.
