Interregional Interaction

The article proposes a methodological approach for assessing the conditions of interregional interaction of Russian regions in terms of energy conditions. To this end, we substantiate and analyze the spatial distribution of Russian regions’ energy potential. An integral index of energy potential is constructed, which characterizes the main energy and economic factors of regional development in Russia. To calculate the index, we used the statistical data from the Russian Federal Statistics Service (Rosstat) and departmental organizations for 84 regions. The energy potential is calculated by using the principal component method. Interregional relationships based on this index are investigated with the help of the spatial autocorrelation method (Moran method). We focus on the relationships between the regions of the Ural Federal District and identify priority areas of energy and economic development of these territories. In particular, we analyze the spatial development of energy and economy and identify the centers where energy resources are concentrated and their spheres. Our findings can be used by state authorities and energy companies to design plans for the development of energy systems and regional economies within the framework of the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2025.

Efficient implementation of the Spatial Development Strategy is necessary to solve the accumulated problems, and this requires defining a new methodological approach. Relying on the review of modern anthropocentric development theories, the author suggests the types of management models in terms of several elements. They include the goal setting with the focus on the human development, the goal adjustment among the stakeholders, the application of human capital characteristics as the key development factor, and the formation of management mechanisms based on the differential approach. This study explains the decision making to achieve strategic goals of the spatial development with the methodical complex within the human-oriented (human-driven) approach, comprising the method of assessing the human-oriented development, regression models of the human capital growth due to migration and reproduction processes, and the method of the regional typologization in terms of objective and subjective characteristics of the territory attractiveness for population. The method tested in this work focuses on achieving one of the most important goals of the spatial development of the 1st level on the example of the subjects of the Ural Federal District (UFD). During the test, this method allowed assessing not only the level of the human-oriented development, but also the degree of its balance in terms of the standard deviation of the structural indicators of the development components, including the economic, socio-natural and inclusive components. The results obtained allowed defining the positions of regions in the matrix “human-oriented development level — balance of components”. Combination of the matrix analysis of subjects of the UFD with the results of the typologization of these regions showed the dependence of the degree of the migrants’ reaction on the changes in the quality of life and the human-oriented development. The performed study provides the evidence towards the need to increase the level and improve the balance of components of the human-oriented development of regions from the viewpoint of the management efficiency of the human capital accommodation. This is essential for creating new centres of economic growth and ensuring the demographic security of Russia.

The Impact

As factors affecting interregional interactions play an important role in regional economic development. Thus, developing a methodology for assessing these interactions is becoming urgent. The article proposes a methodological approach to analyse the factors influencing possible interactions between Sverdlovsk oblast and other constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the manufacturing industry. It is hypothesised that the elements of an interregional interaction matrix are proxy variables characterising the degree of this interaction. An economic analysis of relations and production chains between Sverdlovsk oblast and other constituent entitles confirmed this hypothesis. First, based on the spatial distribution of manufacturing output in the examined regions, values of an indicator showing the strength of their mutual influence were determined. Second, the impact of economic, infrastructural and institutional factors on the obtained indicator, characterising the inter action between Sverdlovsk oblast and other regions, was assessed using quantile regression. In this case, such a technique was chosen instead of the classical ordinary least squares (OLS) regression that incorrectly estimates the dependencies between the studied variables. This is expressed in the fact that the regression coefficients de pend on q-quantile of the dependent variable. We have revealed that price levels of the examined regions do not affect their possible interactions with Sverdlovsk oblast. Simultaneously, the dissemination of knowledge acts a driver of interaction between the considered regional manufacturing industries. The research findings can be used to prepare strategies, programmes and schemes for the placement and development of industries, considering the potential of Sverdlovsk oblast and other Russian regions.

The article is dedicated to the overview of new methodological approaches towards the typology of Russian regions developed to support the locality-based decisions at the federal level of governance in order to design and implement the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation in the long-term. Drawing evidence from several examples illustrating the formation of different regional typologies the authors propose their own one taking into the account the core principles of Russian State Regional Policy and the aims of Spatial Development Strategy which were formulated in its Conception. Giving the current conditions which indicate a necessity for a radical improvement of spatial development governance system, the research proposes a number of criteria towards the typology of Russian regions. The authors propose the measures for the system of criteria for social and economic indicators that can be used to generate homogeneous groups of regions on the basis of subdividing the regions under analysis into corresponding groups within the development of sectoral and industrial or problem focuses typology. For the creation of a structural and sectoral typology of the regions, the indices of the share of specific types of the economic activity in the structure of GDP in the total volume of the shipped goods into the manufacturing plants are used. The results of such a 2D-typology of Russian regions when using a structural, industrial and problem-focused typologies made on the basis of the official statistical data issued by the Rosstat over the period 2014-2016 are provided. The main approaches to their use at the determination of priorities of perspective social and economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation are given.

13  February  2019,  Dmitry  Medvedev,  Chairman  of  the  Government  of  the  Russian Federation, approved the “Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2025”. This document is undoubtedly a significant milestone in the formation of the state regional policy. However, its practical significance caused reasonable doubts among experts. First of all, attention was drawn to the basic term of “spatial development”. How does it differ from the “regional development policy”, the principles main goals and mechanisms of which have not yet defined? May the substitution of the concepts be a way of avoiding this fundamentally important task? They caused questions and uncertainty of the role of regions in the Russian Federation in ensuring the spatial development of the economy. Their place in this process is not specified. The Strategy actually did not take into account the differences of the Russian regions in terms of their socio-economic development and innovative potential. The overall conclusion of a significant part of the expert community was reduced to the need for: substantial refinement of the Strategy; concretization of its basic provisions; developing mechanisms to enhance the role the Russian regions in this process, taking into account differences in their levels of development and socio-economic potential. An attempt to demonstrate the significance of these differences was undertaken in this study, the results of which are summarized in this article.

The author analyses the Spatial Development Strategy (developed in 2018, but not adopted by the Government at time when the article was in print), the possibility of bringing it into life, and its adequacy in dealing with real problems of Russian regions. Special attention is paid to four aspects of the Spatial Development Strategy: development of the agglomerations, geostrategic territories macroregions effective economic specialization. The author concludes, that in comparison with other already adopted strategical documents the Spatial Development Strategy has some conceptual advantages, but it can’t solve all the problems and it will be difficult to put it into action in the current economic situation.

Spatial Development Strategy

The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the implementation of the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025 (hereinafter referred to as the Strategy), on the basis of which it is envisaged to compare such concepts as «federal district», «macroregion» and «aspect of regional studies - zoning», since in theoretical terms, the overlap and confusion of the boundaries of the application of these concepts is seen. This approach is dictated by the need to identify the balanced development of the regions of the Russian Federation and the observed transformation of the spatial organization of the economy and social sphere. Questions remain: will the implementation of the Strategy entail an increase in the number of officials, increased bureaucratization and an increase in additional ineffective budget spending in the country, which is, therefore, extremely high. The article also examines practical issues related to assessing the feasibility of implementing the results of the Strategy contained in such innovations as the formation of agglomerations, the identification of promising industries for each region for future economic specialization and the creation of macroregions. They touch upon a number of problems of a legal, financial, managerial nature and coordination support of this government document, which await their solution in the future. In the course of the study, the conclusions were obtained that the Strategy is a strategic planning document. It provides for large-scale reform and innovative development of the production sector, social economy, management, environmental and a number of other equally significant tasks of the country's territorial modernization.

Relevance. The development of modern mechanisms for state regulation of regional processes, including those related to investment support for certain industries (e.g. the Spatial Development Strategy in Russia), requires a research-informed choice of ‘priority’ specializations. At the same time, such choice should meet the requirement of resilient economic development of these regions if the development of these specializations is supported on the national level. Research objective.The goal of this study is to assess the current structure of the Russian regions’ economy. We aim to identify the regions that have a specialization and thus can ensure resilient development and transition to smart specialization. Data and methods. The study proposes a methodological approach to identify the region’s smart specialization. The approach is based on the calculation of indicators that characterize the regions’ industries according to Russia’s national classifier of types of economic activity (OKVED2). Regions with pronounced industrial specialization are thus identified. The methodological approach has been tested by using statistical data for 84 regions. Results.43 regionswith industrial, export-oriented and extractive specialization were identified. We revealed nineregions that had sufficient prerequisites for the transition tosmart specialization and 11 regions that need to strengthen their knowledge-intensive component. Conclusion.The resulting list of Russian regions that can act as pioneer territories for the introduction of structural changes into the practice of state regulation can be of interest to policy-makers.

At present, in Russia, the development of urban agglomerations is designated as one of the priorities of the country’s spatial development. At the same time, there is still no common understanding of how many agglomerations there are in Russia, what is their composition; unified approaches to organizing a management system for the development of agglomerations have not been formed either. The main idea of this article is that not only the largest and largest agglomerations (with a population of more than 500 thousand people – they are indicated in the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025), but also agglomerations with a population of less than 500 thousand people. people play an important role in the development of regions and the country as a whole, and therefore require state support and the formation of a management system for their development, which will increase the positive agglomeration effects. The article presents a methodological approach to the analysis and assessment of the main parameters of the development of urban agglomerations (a formula for calculating the indicator of the economic power of an agglomeration and a methodology for assessing the level of socio-economic development of agglomerations). On the basis of this approach, the identification of 10 agglomerations in the European North of Russia has been substantiated. The calculation of the agglomeration development coefficient showed that 9 agglomerations (Apatitskaya, Arkhangelskaya, Vologodskaya, Vorkutinskaya, Kotlasskaya, Petrozavodskaya, Syktyvkarskaya, Ukhtinskaya, Cherepovetskaya) belong to the least developed (emerging or promising), and Murmanskaya – to the category of underdeveloped. Taking into account the analysis of successful foreign and domestic experience, the key elements of the mechanism for managing the development of urban agglomeration are substantiated. The results obtained will be interesting and useful to the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments in the development of management decisions in the implementation of regional and local socio-economic policies, as well as serve as a basis for further research on this topic.

Aim. The presented study aims to define a methodological approach to the formalization of regional strategies with allowance for the prospective benefits from the interaction between internal and external components of regional socio-economic systems for the national economy.Tasks. The authors determine the essence of strategic management of regional development by analyzing the internal processes of the interaction between subsystems, components, and elements of the region as a complex socio-economic system; compare the specific features of the functioning and interaction of administrative divisions in a planned and market economy; substantiate the principles of mutually beneficial interregional interaction and the need to improve supra-regional economic efficiency in view of the allowance made for the projected effects of interregional interaction in rational strategic planning; define the concept of strategic management of regional socio-economic systems and formulate an approach to the formation of the management process.Methods. This study use general scientific methods, including systems analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, detalization and generalization, modelling.Results. The process of formation and coordination of regional strategies is conceptualized as a basic element of the organizational mechanism of strategic management of the functioning and development of regional socio-economic systems. A system diagram is provided that makes allowance for three hierarchical levels of management (federal, interregional, regional), each acting on the appropriate level of abstraction and introducing its inherent critical aspects of rational planning of national spatial development. It is shown that strategic planning of interregional interaction at the supra-regional level makes it advisable to develop multi-regional, multi-sectoral computer models that would help to achieve a state of interaction close to economic equilibrium, thus ensuring future functioning of the national economy based on the planning principle applied in a brand new way.Conclusions. The system of strategic management of regional development and interregional interaction should be a multilevel, hierarchically ordered mechanism for the formation and implementation of a strategic plan for the spatial development of the country. Such a system should be aimed at functionally maintaining social and economic, planned and competitive balance between national expediency determined by state strategic priorities and independent regional development guidelines without degenerating into bureaucratic formalism when creating regional development concepts on the one hand and without turning into a constant competitive struggle of divergent interests of the regions on the other. It is advisable to develop an integrated (supra-regional) approach to the strategic management of regions as regional socio-economic systems based on the conceptual organizational-managerial mechanism for their functioning and development. This approach should be aimed at achieving the planned supra-regional efficiency (socio-economic balance) using not-yet-manifested projected interregional synergetic and agglomeration effects from the use of interregional (national) infrastructure, scientifically based implementation of absolute and relative regional advantages in the process of determining and planning future regional specialization at the federal level, deployment and development of the territorial cores of intersectoral clusters serving as the starting points of growth for an optimally balanced crystal lattice of spatial development on the national scale, implementation of interregional interaction of expected quantity and quality, mathematically justified with allowance for the needs of interregional and intersectoral exchange, intra- and intersystem structures, elements, communicative relationships, dynamics and stages of the life cycle of industries, organizations, the ability to adapt to changes in the external environment of the regions included in the system.
