Improvement of transport infrastructure in Europe is often characterized as a precedent for further integration of economies and regions in an enlarged Europe. In the early 1990s this process was institutionalized in the development of pan-European transport corridors. Extension of three pan-European transport corridors to Russia was a logical continuation of the EU's efforts in engaging Russia with Europe. Taking this as a loose starting point, the paper focuses on reasoning embedded in Russian policies on development of its transport infrastructure. The shift from conceptualization of infrastructure development in Russia as a part of pan-European corridor policy to that of international transport corridors provides an example to inquire transition from one logic of reasoning to another. The notion of different game forms is introduced and linked with analytical application of 'practical inference' scheme. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
