Developing its Eastern territories and accelerating its integration into the Asia-Pacific region represent both one of the greatest challenges and opportunities for the current Russian administration. In the context of APEC 2012, this paper suggests that today the Russian Far East exists in a state of dual dependency-reliance on federal development programmes, at the same time as economic relations with surrounding states determine the regions development potential. It also examines the alternative development and strategic partnerships for Russia presented by Japan and China.
