| Summary: | In media discourses and geopolitical publications, the new rail corridors between Europe and Asia are often presented as instruments of opening up and economic development. In this context, the Trans-Siberian is a good indicator of the spatial differences and the balance of power that are establishing from the centers to the peripheries at the Eurasian level. Indeed, the Trans-Siberian only really plays the role of development corridor at the ends of the networks, in Europe and in East Asia. It favours the main structuring nodes of regions already highly integrated with globalization. In contrast, in Siberia and Mongolia, the territories crossed are often used as a support for connectivity for the benefit of the dominant poles. Or at least, these territories are integrated within the framework of transnational regions as peripheral suppliers of raw materials.
