ABSTRACT:
The article analyzes economic and political trends, determinants and problems of transport system, infrastructure and logistics development in the modern world. This is based on the assumption that the world transport system is a combination of national and regional transport systems, including a set of interconnected and interacting modes of transport, and vice versa. The author argued that the world transport system is characterized by territorial-geographical and pro- file-species structure and it can be classified by level of organization, geographical indication, level of development, modes of transport and infrastructure, etc. It is revealed that the development trends of the main modes of transport are related to the basic world economic processes, in particular to world production and trade. At the same time, it is proved that the world transport system is conditioned not only socio-economically, but also politically, in particular by the actions of the state, society or its individual segments both inside and outside the state.
