Clustering of Socio-Economic Space: Theoretical Approaches and Russian Experience

The article summarises theoretical approaches to determining the median regions, their place and rolein the territorial structure of the country and its socio-economic development. The basis of the approach proposedis multiple descriptions of a set of attributes, connections, and relationships, a holistic view of the region as arelatively stable part of the socio-economic space. To conduct an empirical study in Russia, 32 regions wereselected, attributed to the category of the median regions by their geographical position. According to theapproach, the list of verifiable median characteristics of the regions includes transit, polystructurality, scale,resource availability, gravity, population concentration, the role in ensuring national security, budget donation,the “pilot” character, the concentration of intellectual potential, low risks, high investment and innovationpotential, high contact with neighbouring territories, and clustering. The results of the study suggest that thecumulative effect of the regional median position has a significant differentiation. Therefore, the authors candistinguish such types of median regions as integrators of the economic space, sustainable median regions, anddeveloping median regions. Based on the topological attributes of median regions, the mission of median regionsis justified. It is substantiated that the factor of the medianness of the region can be of key importance in regionalpolicy only if this resource is used correctly in program activities, regional development strategies and regionalpolicy of the state.

The triad of value-oriented dominants of development, formation, and practical implementation into the economy, as well as further development in the resource limitations of the five-dimensional spatial system of natural resources assets management system in Ukraine were defined and described. They were disclosed according to three areas of generation of multi-component capacities for rationalization of spatial management, which are delineated according to constitutive and key properties of management of the natural and economic space of the state, its regions, and separate territories. Grouping and delineation were carried out in the directions which: are caused by the structure and target and specific functions of the system; form the capacity of a complex system for self-preservation; characterize the behavioural tactic and strategy of a spatial system for achievement of the objective and resolving the target tasks in the field of rationalization of the state’s natural resources assets management. A set of model solutions was worked out and justified for calculation of the basic indices of its operation, namely: the relative organization of the spatial system architecture, structural and functional organization of its parameters, degree of uncertainty of the condition of a multi-dimensional management system, reliability of its operation as capacities for failure-free operation in various conditions of functioning, capacity of the spatial system and its five subsystems for self-preservation. It was proved and confirmed that building up a new format of a spatial system of natural resources assets management with simultaneous incorporation of the provisions of the systemic, synergetic, structural and informational, and platform theoretical approaches protects rationalization of development and usage of the existing strategic potential of Ukraine and its regions based on the consequences of achievement of sustainable economy with resource limitations, accompanied with constant growth of socio-political threats and risks.

Current Stage

At the current stage of economic globalization, the leading factor, among several others, is the intensification of regional economic integration. The share of countries participating in this regional integration covers about 60% of the world GDP. In this article we apply statistical analysis along with several theoretical approaches to ground and explain the objectivity of convergence and divergence of the national economic systems within the frameworks of integrational unions. We also analyze the trend of economic space asynchronization inside integrations along with the national and regional factors of ongoing regionalization. Our conclusions concern primarily the supranational instruments of participating economies’levelling.

At this stage in the development of the global economic space, the question of studying such measures of influence as sanctions is of great interest. The article is a review of approaches to studying the phenomenon of economic sanctions and is aimed at studying the definition, varieties and essence of these measures. The article considers various interpretations of the concept of “sanction” in the scientific literature. The author has developed a morphological matrix of existing types of sanctions, matrix can be used for the analysis of the implemented measures. The author also studied and presented some of the main ideas of scientists in the field of economic sanctions, their effectiveness, influence on the structure of an economic system and cross-border relationship.Further research on this topic will contribute to the development of an effective strategy for business entities in the context of sanctions regimes.

The article is based on the results of the 7th International Scientific and Practical Conference on Economics “The Market Economy Phenomenon: From the Origins into Our Days” held from March 27 to March 31, 2019 in the cities of Sochi and Sukhumi. The theoretical approaches of domestic and foreign researchers to understanding the market economy phenomenon, the specifics of its financial and credit sphere functioning in the context of the digital economy were generalized. The problems of the monetary economy in terms of the sanction confrontation were outlined. The authors analyzed and evaluated the processes and the phenomena observed in the post-Soviet economic space related to the transplantation of market economy mechanisms into the system of social reproductive relations, including its financial component based on their digitalization. The dialectic approach, system analysis, methods of economic and statistical and interdisciplinary analytical tools were used. The article revealed the key components of the market economy phenomenon appearing in the post-Soviet economic space and having a direct impact on the social reproduction results. The relationship was shown between the transformation of the evolutionary and methodological content of the money economy, its institutional and behavioral paradigm, the digitalization of the financial segment of the economic space with the scale of innovation, the penetration of cognitive psychology and neurophysiology into financial and credit relations, and their technological re-equipment. The results of the influence of instability factors on the budget and monetary sphere were presented. The authors described complex interdependencies of the processes and phenomena within the framework of the market economy phenomenon appearing in the post-Soviet economic space. The triune structure of the modern market doctrine was disclosed including psychological and behavioral, institutional and functional and reproduction and product aspects. The authors showed the transformational dynamics of the financial and credit sphere of modern society. Its specific features are: the increasingly important role of innovation, outsourcing, revising pricing methods, digitalization of business processes, penetration into managing neuromarketing technologies, and virtualization of the financial sector of the economy.

The increasing importance of the Russian regions in increasing the efficiency of socio-economic development of the country actualizes scientific research on the balanced development of the regional economy and spatial coherence of economic processes. Within the framework of regional studies, both traditional and classical theories and new theoretical approaches to the problems of regional development are systematized and typologized. The article presents a fragmentary review of new theories and concepts of regional growth, including: the concept of sustainable development, cluster concept, the concept of "smart specialization", regional foresight, paradigms of studying the region as a quasi-state, quasi-Corporation, market area and region-society. The attention is focused on the theories of regional development cyclicity and studies related to the analysis of economic dynamics. The conclusion is made about the need for further research on the problems of interregional cooperation and the formation of regions as subjects of the common economic space.
