The problem of advanced socio-cultural development of Zabaikalye Territory is considered in the context of its entering into entity composition of the Far Eastern Federal District. The need of searching the mechanisms to advance the region’s development is preconditioned by considerable lagging of Zabaikalye in the socio-economic development indicators from the FEFD entities. Establishment of the priority development areas is considered as one of such mechanisms. The possibility of their establishment is assessed in terms of the historical experience that Zabaikalye has in establishing territories and zones beneficial terms and preferences. The article makes assessment of this experience, analyses the factors that determines the results of using the mechanisms provided. It demonstrates that establishment of the territories with beneficial business terms did not exert a considerable impact on the rates of economic growth and results of social development in Zabaikalye Territory during all stages. In the capacity of competitive advantages the region had to create special economic zones, free economic zones and priority development areas, the Territory used the mineral resources endowment, the geographical position at the border with PRC. In order to assess the prospects of establishing the priority development areas in Zabaikalye, the article presents the well-known theoretical approaches of P. Krugaman and N.V. Zubarevich, shows that the competitive advantages of natural character do not provide a sustainable socio-economic growth. It substantiates that acceleration of developing the territories and levelling out the socio-economic differences can be made possible on the basis of developing the human potential and the sector of social services. The authors voice concerns that in the existing terms of Zabaikalye Territory’s degradation Establishment of the priority development areas is problematic. Prospective use of the benefits and preferences claimed for in the Project of Establishment of PDA «Zabaikalye» require priority development of the social sector, provision of the social levelling-out. The need to activate the social processes and to form the regional development program that meets the complexity of the socio-economic situation is determined by the growing completion level between the microregion’s entities for attracting investment resources. In this situation, the Zabaikalye Territory’s odds to permanently take a hold on the periphery of the FEFD socio-economic development are rather high.

The current socio-economic development of the Siberian village and its arrearage from the standards of the population’s life quality require rural territories to change over to the sustainable development. This change assumes the depth and consistency of the innovative structural, organizational and economic, and legal transformations that are forthcoming in the economy and social area of rural territories. It is impossible to carry out such modernization simultaneously and everywhere. The authors of the study substantiate the methodology of a phased approach based on the theory of “poles” or growth “areas”. The methodology has been offered to form rural growth poles. It has been developed by using the cartographic method based on the principles of identifying growth centers and developing adjacent areas as economic satellites whose socio-economic development is related to the “poles” development. During the study, the authors have offered to single out seven rural poles of the social and economic growth in the Novosibirsk Region as promising centers of development, concentration of economically active population where it is possible to form territories of advanced development.

Inequality in the distribution of income of the population has a certain impact on different aspects of the economic and socio-cultural development of countries and regions. This inequality arises due to a number of factors as the current nature of the production specialization, the availability of production and economic infrastructure, the achieved level of development of the social sphere, socio-cultural, demographic, and other factors. The main objective of this study is to assess the nature and extent of the impact of income inequality in the Russian regions for the subsequent justification of the directions of socio-economic development. We conducted an econometric analysis of the impact of intraregional income inequality (the Gini coefficient), fixed capital investment per capita, and average per capita consumer spending on one of the main indicators of regional economic growth (GRP) per capita was carried out. The model is based on panel data for the period 2012-2018 for 85 regions of the Russian Federation. The results of the study confirm two of three hypotheses. As prospects for further research, it is proposed to consider the impact of inequality in the distribution of household income on economic growth for different groups of regions, including resource-type regions and regions with a predominance of manufacturing industries, as well as for leading regions and regions with a relatively low level of socio-economic development.

The purpose of the article is to study the role of fiscal policy in the context of the development of institutional budget architectonics aimed at ensuring macroeconomic stability, boosting economic growth, strengthening human potential, improving public welfare and defining approaches to its formation in advanced and transition economies. Comparative and factor methods make it possible to cover the peculiarities of institutional environment of the formation of fiscal policy in EU countries and Ukraine in the context of the development of the institutional budget architectonics and to identify ways for its improvement. Methodology. Substantiation of the role of fiscal policy in terms of the development of institutional budget architectonics, determination of its strategic orientations are based on generalization and systematization of experience of advanced and transition economies. For this very reason, the authors analyse and assess the fiscal policy and define special aspects of the formation and implementation of its components in relevant countries. Results show that to increase the effectiveness of the fiscal policy, it is expedient to ensure its interrelation with other components of financial policy based on a combination of fiscal and motivation function. Effective institutional budget architectonics provides means for creating conditions for sustainable economic growth, achieving strategic goals of socio-economic development of the country. Significant tasks of the development of institutional budget architectonics are regulation of the ratio between direct and indirect tax revenues, the structure of budget expenditures in terms of functional, economic classifications, maintaining the budget gap and public debt at the level that contributes to the financial and economic stability of the country, taking into account economic cyclical nature. Practical implications. A feasible budget architectonics would facilitate the maintenance of macroeconomic stability and accelerate economic growth. It is expedient to carry out institutional changes of budget architectonics on the ground of dynamic interconnection of budget and macroeconomic indicators. Value/originality. Fiscal policy plays a significant part in the process of government regulation of socio-economic development of the country. Elaboration of fiscal policy approaches in the context of the development of institutional budget architectonics is an important prerequisite for improving the quality of budget planning, ensuring the strength, stability and dynamic balance of the budget system. It is advantageous to introduce adaptive institutional changes into the budget architectonics in order to accelerate economic growth. Therefore, the article covers the essence and role of institutional budget architectonics aimed at ensuring macroeconomic stability, accelerating economic growth, developing human potential, improving public welfare; it defines the approaches to its development in transition and advanced economies. The authors establish that effective fiscal policy based on feasible institutional budget architectonics provides means for creating conditions for sustainable economic growth, achieving strategic goals of socio-economic development of the country.

The article considers the main theoretical approaches to assessing the quality of economic growth. More specifically, the paper covers the evolution of the concepts of economic development and quality of economic growth and their meanings. The concept of qualitative growth of economy, which has gained world recognition, is defined and characterized in detail. The nature of economic growth in Ukraine is explained and extensive factors that dominate in the economy are revealed. The research paper highlights the main government’s failures in policy-making for economic development. They are born out of using cheap labour and exporting raw materials. The analysis made it possible for the author to view the government’s initiatives in the economy as policy routines that contradict the theory of qualitative economic growth. The social risks of freezing the current situation are specified and characterized. The results indicate that one of the major obstacles to the qualitative economic growth of Ukraine is the quasi-market, oligarchic-clan economic system which is capable to self- reproduce. Therefore, the proposals on the transition to a model of qualitative growth of the economy are formulated.

The article is devoted to the issues of periphery and peripheralization of the spatial development of Russia, a significant part of the territory of which has experienced the negative direction of social and economic development during the transition to a market economy and continues to undergo it at the present time. The article discusses the theoretical approaches of Russian and foreign authors to the definition of the concepts of «periphery», «peripheralization of space». Based on the use of methods of comparative analysis and systematization, the authors identified six main approaches of researchers to the definition of the concept of «periphery»: positional, functional, problem, generative-translational, social, subjective, and also revealed the content and peculiarity of each approach. The authors highlighted such basic properties of the periphery as diverse remoteness, economic degradation and social marginalization, poly-scale character, migration outflow, ubiquity and relativity, weak involvement in global economic relations. A system of indicators characterizing the periphery in accordance with the selected approaches is proposed. On the basis of the conducted research, it was concluded that the spatial development of individual centers of Russia is taking place with the spatial degradation of its most part, which significantly actualizes the question of the future of the Russian periphery and its impact on the spatial development of the country as a whole. Due to the weakness of its own potential, the Russian periphery cannot act as an independent attractor of socio-economic development and requires strengthening state regulation measures based on the competitive advantages of each territory.

В статье рассмотрены особенности внедрения кластерного подхода, как перспективного фактора ускорения социально-экономического развития субъектов Российской Федерации, способного выступать важным и эффективным двигателем экономического роста и развития конкурентоспособности территорий. Цель статьи - установление преимуществ развития кластеров непосредственно для участников и для региональных экономик в целом. В результате интеграции различных резидентов кластеров формируются реальные сетевые партнерства, получающие многообразные конкурентные преимущества и источники получения синергетических эффектов. При этом синергизм является не только характерной чертой кластерных структур, но стратегической целью интеграции их участников. Научная новизна заключается в определении видов потенциала для синергетического эффекта, а также условий, оказывающих влияние на устойчивость кластерных структур и результативность их проектов. The article considers the peculiarities of the cluster approach implementation as a promising factor for accelerating the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation regions, which can act as an important and effective engine for economic growth and the development of the competitiveness of territories. The purpose of the article is to establish the advantages of cluster development directly for participants and for regional economies as a whole. As a result of the integration of different cluster residents, real network partnerships are formed, which receive a variety of competitive advantages and sources of synergy. At the same time, synergy is not only a characteristic feature of cluster structures, but also a strategic goal of integrating their participants. The scientific innovation consists in determining the types of potential for synergy, as well as the conditions that affect the sustainability of cluster structures and the effectiveness of their projects.

The article addresses the economic theories that have arisen on the basis of development economics of the 20th century. The aim is to present the evolution of these concepts and to evaluate them. Historical, descriptive and comparative methods were used. The author argues that in face of current development issues a return to historical sources, combined with their proper reading and (re) interpretation, enables formulation of important conclusions for the present and setting more accurate targets for the future. Thanks to this reading and reinterpretation policy makers have a chance to avoid errors in managing the current socio-economic policy. The analysis led to the conclusion that (1) the understanding of economic development was at first narrowed to growth but with time has moved to (2) to the category of socio-economic development and in the 1950 s a new sub-discipline of economics - development economics - was developed. Its achievements helped to take into account in today's prevailing approaches the social determinants of economic growth, of which sustainable development is the most popular.
