Оно рассматривает влияние коридора на экономические и стратегические интересы стран, через которые он проходит, особенно Казахстана, Азербайджана, Турции и Европейского Союза. Анализ основан на многомерном подходе, который объединяет исторические данные, текущие геополитические стратегии и экономическую статистику для оценки значимости Среднего Коридора. На основе используемых методов, исследование проводит сравнение Среднего Коридора с традиционными торговыми маршрутами, такими как Северный морской путь и Суэцкий канал, выделяя его преимущества и потенциальные ограничения. Средний Коридор выявился как важная альтернатива, предлагая сокращение времени транзита и повышение безопасности торговли между Азией и Европой. Коридор наблюдает значительное увеличение объема грузов, что отражает его растущее значение в международной торговле. Кроме того, Средний коридор способствует экономической диверсификации и энергетической безопасности участвующих стран, облегчая перемещение энергетических ресурсов и других товаров. Анализ показал, что имеются проблемы, как политическая нестабильность и инфраструктурные потребности, которые могут препятствовать полному использованию потенциала Среднего Коридора. В итоге, исследование подчеркивает стратегическую значимость Транскаспийского маршрута и Коридора Зангезур в диверсификации мировых торговых путей и укреплении экономической устойчивости в условиях геополитических напряжений.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This study aims to elucidate the role of the Middle Corridor, also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), in diversifying global trade routes and enhancing economic resilience amid geopolitical tensions. The paper examines the corridor's impact on the economic and strategic interests of the countries it traverses, particularly Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and the European Union. The analysis employs a multidimensional approach that includes historical context analysis, comparative route analysis, geographic information system mapping, and statistical analysis. Data were collected from various sources, including the World Bank, the International Trade Centre, and trade and economic policy reports from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and the European Union databases. Based on the methods used, the study compares the Middle Corridor with traditional trade routes such as the Northern Sea Route and the Suez Canal, highlighting its advantages and potential limitations. The Middle Corridor has emerged as a vital alternative, offering reduced transit times and enhanced trade security between Asia and Europe. The corridor has experienced a significant increase in cargo volume, reflecting its growing importance in international trade. Furthermore, the Middle Corridor contributes to the participating countries' economic diversification and energy security, facilitating the movement of energy resources and other goods. The analysis revealed challenges such as political instability and infrastructural needs that could hinder the full potential of the Middle Corridor. Ultimately, the study underscores the strategic significance of the Trans-Caspian Route and the Zangezur Corridor in diversifying global trade routes and strengthening economic resilience in geopolitical tensions.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Срединий коридор</kwd><kwd>Центральная Азия</kwd><kwd>экономическая устойчивость</kwd><kwd>экономическая диверсификация</kwd><kwd>транспорт</kwd><kwd>связи</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Middle Corridor</kwd><kwd>Central Asia</kwd><kwd>Economic Resilience</kwd><kwd>Transportation</kwd><kwd>Economic Diversification</kwd><kwd>Connectivity</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Abbasova, V.
