On the Development of Railway Structural Reform in Russia

After years of reforms, the public railway management entity JSC Russian Railways is in a setting known as the institutional trap. The assumption that other mechanisms of the Russian economy should synchronously transform with this key infrastructural area was proved to be wrong. A functional geographical model of railway management was replaced by a «super centralized)} manage­ment model by type of activity. Russian Railways is now a holding that controls rail transport using hierarchy lines from the corporate center to the primary func­tional unit of the railways. In this paper, we analyze the efficiency of railway mana­gement based on new models and ways to escape out of institutional traps. We suggest approaches to developing the structural reform of Russian rail transport.
