Reducing the level of interregional differentiation is one of the problems in spatial development management according to the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation. Presence of significant regional imbalances hampers formation of a common economic, social, cultural, and institutional space and lead to a creation of backward territories which lag behind in the development. The focus of public policy measures on the centers of economic growth, with the concentration of financial and labor resources, without solving the problems of backward territories does not bring the expected effect – overall development and well-being. Local effects in the absence of positive changes in other territories result in the increase in imbalances, which limit the overall effectiveness of the public policy. At the same time, a steadily increasing lag may cause a loss of potential of economic growth and thus forms backward territories. The creation of territorial backwardness is a gradual process. Therefore, diagnosing the state of the territory and identifying the signs of increasing depression is an essential issue of public administration. The article presents the main approaches to the definition of territorial backwardness used in the Russia and overseas, it also reviews the determinants of backward territories. Different methods for identification of backwardness in the territorial development have been tested on the basis of the regions of the Russian Far East.

The Russian Far East

A brief overview of the evolution of the new public policy for the development of the Russian Far East is presented. Thanks to active federal policy, the Far East macroregion became a testing ground for new mechanisms and instruments of regional development aimed at stimulating economic growth and promoting private investment. Currently, there is no other macroregion in Russia within which all the possible investment promotion policy tools and measures are in operation. An inventory of budget expenditures (including shortfalls in income) relating to the implementation of measures to stimulate economic growth and promote private investments in the Far East of Russia is conducted. The direct results of the implemented policy (the volume of attracted investments, the number of jobs created, the volume of tax payments) are summarized. Although it is still premature to talk about the high budgetary efficiency of preferential regimes in the Far East of Russia, there is a widespread opinion among the official circles about the uniqueness of the created system for supporting the investment process. This view is primarily based on the high value of the private to public investments ratio pertaining to preferential regimes in Russia’s Far East. A comparative analysis of the performance of the key macro-indicators of the Far East economy and those of the rest of the Russian Federation is carried out for two comparable periods: five years before and five years from the beginning of the implementation of the federal policy. It is concluded that the active policy of creating favourable conditions for investment in the Russian Far East is not yet transformed into the desired pace of the socio-economic dynamics. Such a dissonance with optimistic assessments of the implemented measures and instruments introduced for the development of the macroregion prompts the question of whether the goals of public policy for the development of the Far East are consistent with the means used to achieve them. The starting point for finding an answer to this question is the difference in understanding the content of the categories ‘growth’ and ‘development’

Sociological Study

The article deals with the actual problems of spatial development of the regions of Eastern Siberia south. The results of a sociological study in the republics of Buryatia, Tyva, Khakassia and Zabaykalsky Krai, conducted in September-October 2021, are analyzed. The sample is based on a model, using key characteristics of the general population, based on the principles of quota-proportional and territorial methods. The total sample size is 467 respondents. The empirical object of the study is the adult population of the regions. The social situation of the population of Eastern Siberia south, migration attitudes and attitudes towards labor migrants from abroad, assessments of the economic situation and the dynamics of the development of key enterprises in four regions are considered. The opinions, assessments and comments of local residents on the demographic and migration situation, the main socio-economic indicators of regional development are given. The socio-demographic and socio-economic situation in Eastern Siberia as a whole is compared. The study was carried out under the RFBR project “Modeling scenarios of spatial development of Siberia and the Russian Far East until 2030: features of the settlement system”. The main goal is to assess the current state of the settlement system, develop strategic prospects and model variant scenarios for the spatial development of the regions of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts. Based on the results of the study, conclusions are given and recommendations are offered.

Key Indicators

This study examines changes in some key indicators among 66 countries on six continents over a 56-year period, to compare the power of economic growth to improve human health and income distribution with its tendency to degrade the natural environment. The results indicate that growth depletes and pollutes nature far more than it benefits society. This suggests that public policy should shift toward enhancement of individual and social well-being in ways more direct and effective, and less ecologically damaging, than reliance on overall growth in gross domestic product. I illustrate this implication with a degrowth scenario for the United States to 2050 that draws on the empirical results for the period 1961 to 2016. And I consider certain reforms in the management and governance of organizations to implement such a scenario.

The modern accents in domestic and foreign studies of social infrastructure are highlighted. The trends of changes in the content of the concept of «social infrastructure» in the Russian realities are considered. The necessity of theoretical and practical approach to the current transformation of the concept of «social infrastructure» in the context of the national spatial development and global postindustrial trend, analysis of the saturation of macro-regional space components of social infrastructure, refinement of their parameters is justified. The urgency of the considered problems is determined by the necessity of saturation and consolidation of the regional/macroregional space of the Russian Federation. The social infrastructure is considered from the standpoint of the spatial development of Russiaas a component of the configuration (filling and compaction) of the space.The purpose of the article is to identify the relevant attributes of modern social infrastructure from the national perspective of human potential and human capital accumulation, to determine the indicators and parameters of the social infrastructure of the priority macro-region.It is proposed to include in the concept of social infrastructure functionally important and relevant for the modern stage of national development in the postindustrial period components such as the preservation of human potential and the accumulation of human capital with an emphasis on consistency. The author’s classification of social infrastructure by functional biosocio-humanitarian criterion is proposed. The author’s algorithm of complementarity is formed: the indicators of each function correspond to specific statistical indicators. This approach is appropriate for use in order to manage the development (saturation) of the regional (macroregional) space, especially in the Russian Far East.

In today's modern circumstances ensuring the economic growth of territorial communities requires theoretical redefining and additional research, since new challenges have negatively affected the well-being of the population and ensuing progress. The purpose of the article is to determine financial factors in the latest theories of economic growth of territorial communities. Scientific approaches to the definition of “territorial community” are generalized, own approach is offered and the main features of territorial community (territorial, natural, social-psychological, historical-cultural, organizational-functional, political, economic) are substantiated. Emphasis is placed on the need for a new theoretical approach to the development of territorial communities based on the synthesis and combination of basic guidelines and principles of modern scientific concepts and models, their interpretation in the context of local development. The latest theories of economic growth are studied, including: the theory of endogenous growth, inclusive development and the theory of sustainable development (E. Ostrom's concept of community resource management is highlighted). It is substantiated that the model of endogenous growth is focused on reducing inequality of economic development through the use of internal factors, mechanisms of management and management of the territory. There are two vectors of achieving inclusive development of territorial communities: internal - maximum involvement of community members in the process of its development; external - ensuring access of members of the territorial community to the opportunities provided by more developed communities. It is emphasized that the key idea in E. Ostrom's research is to achieve efficiency and substantiation of ways of community management of common resources. Within the framework of the theory of inclusive development, a review of the concept of financial inclusion, which raises the issue of community development – “banking deserts”. The existence of interdependence of perception of members of territorial communities – “banking deserts” of opportunities and prospects of obtaining banking services is indicated, which requires the involvement of theoretical foundations of behavioral economics in the study of this issue. The factors of economic growth of territorial communities are systematized, which are united into five groups: natural, factors of human development; social, production and financial. The financial factors of economic growth of territorial communities include: budget; investment, inflation, monetary. The expediency of applying the ideas of the latest theories of economic growth in the process of analyzing financial factors is substantiated.
