The problem of dependence of the Russian economy on raw materials remains. The growth of non-primary non-energy exports was approved as one of the priorities in Russia. Updating the national project increases the importance of its institutional support in legislation. The question arises of the sufficiency of institutional reflection of non-resource exports. The purpose of the article is to generalize approaches to the priorities of non-resource exports, to develop methodological tools and to assess the representation of the topic in conceptual documents on the example of the regions of the North-Western Federal District. The research methodology is based on the content analysis of documents using the Istio service. The basis of the study was the conceptual documents of the NWFD regions with export topics. The categories of non-primary exports are highlighted. The socio-economic Development Strategy is the main document approving the region’s non-resource exports. A research program and methodological support for assessing the representation of non-primary exports in documents have been developed. The differences in the institutional support of non-primary exports are revealed. Of the 11 regions, 8 contain a target indicator of non-primary non-energy exports. Kaliningrad and Murmansk oblasts are recommended to include it in the Strategy in order to form institutional support for overcoming the problem of commodity dependence. A classification of regional documents providing institutional support for the export strategy has been developed. For the first time, the assessment contains scientific novelty and can help to understand the need to form a scientific concept of non-resource exports.

Статья посвящена вопросам активизации экономического сотрудничества России и Ирана в целом и Северного Кавказа и Ирана в частности. Экономические отношения России и Ирана в последние годы вновь рассматривается российскими политиками как весьма перспективные и актуальные в контексте геополитических реалий. Цель данной работы состоит в изучении факторов эффективного механизма экономического сотрудничества России, в том числе Северного Кавказа, и Ирана. В настоящем исследовании использованы общенаучные методы познания, а также исторический и статистический методы. История развития российско-иранских отношений наглядно показывает, что в течение без малого трех столетий, начиная с Рештского (1732) и Гянджинского (1735) договоров, взаимосвязь политических и экономических аспектов определяла особенности торгово-экономических отношений России и Ирана, от привилегий беспошлинной торговли русских купцов, займов и концессий царского правительства до масштабных планов двустороннего советско-иранского сотрудничества. Формирование эффективных механизмов экономического сотрудничества России и Ирана предполагает дальнейшую политическую поддержку российско-иранских программ и проектов, совершенствование правовой базы в контексте изменений в таможенном законодательстве, предоставление налоговых преференций участникам совместных российско-иранских проектов и рост эффективности институтов развития российско-иранского сотрудничества. Геостратегический статус Северного Кавказа в рамках Стратегии пространственного развития России до 2025 г. имеет определенный потенциал расширения экономических связей между Россией и Ираном. Перспективы проектов по созданию в Северо-Кавказском федеральном округе совместных российско-иранских предприятий, в частности, по выращиванию и экспорту в Иран зерновой и мясной продукции связаны с соответствующими мерами государственной поддержки. Успешное осуществление мегапроекта Север-Юг также предполагает всемерное использование экономического потенциала Северного Кавказа. The article is devoted to the activation of economic cooperation between Russia and Iran in General, and the North Caucasus and Iran in particular. Economic relations between Russia and Iran in recent years are again considered by Russian politicians as very promising and relevant in the context of geopolitical realities. The purpose of this work is to study the factors of the effective mechanism of economic cooperation between Russia, including the North Caucasus, and Iran. The present study uses General scientific methods of cognition, as well as historical and statistical methods. The history of Russian-Iranian relations clearly shows that for nearly three centuries, starting with the Rasht (1732) and Ganja (1735) treaties, the interrelation of political and economic aspects determined the features of trade and economic relations between Russia and Iran, from the privileges of duty-free trade of Russian merchants, loans and concessions of the tsarist government to large-scale plans of bilateral Soviet-Iranian cooperation. The formation of effective mechanisms for economic cooperation between Russia and Iran involves further political support for RussianIranian programs and projects, improving the legal framework in the context of changes in customs legislation, granting tax preferences to participants in joint Russian-Iranian projects and increasing the effectiveness of institutions for the development of Russian-Iranian cooperation. The geostrategic status of the North Caucasus within the framework of Russias spatial development Strategy until 2025 has a certain potential to expand economic ties between Russia and Iran. The prospects of projects to establish joint Russian-Iranian enterprises in the North Caucasus Federal district, in particular, to grow and export grain and meat products to Iran, are linked to appropriate measures of state support. The successful implementation of the North-South megaproject also implies the full use of the economic potential of the North Caucasus.

The main theme of the book is the study of how "Third Worldism"-as aschool of thought-was born and developed, how it reached its apogee in themid-1970s, and how it disappeared from the international scene in the 1980s,leaving in its place new trends such as liberalization, democratization, andlslamism. The author demonstrates his thesis through an examination ofAlgeria. Robert Malley explains his choice of Algeria for this case study by sayingthat Algeria is one of the "principal surrogates of Third Worldism," addingthat "understanding Algeria's contemporary history is a good way to understandwhat has happened to the formerly progressive Third World." This led theauthor to divide his book into three parts.Part 1, "Gestation," is itself subdivided into two chapters. Chapter 1, "WhenSouth Met North," shows how Third Worldism was born th.rough a process ofdialogue/conflict between the North and the South. Chapter 2, "The Origins ofAlgerian Third Worldism," demonstrates how Third World ideas were born anddeveloped in Algeria, starting from the Ottoman era, th.rough the colonial periodand the war for Algerian independence up to its apogee in the mid-1970s. Inparticular, he emphasizes the roles played by such Algerian personalities asMessali Hadj, the Emir Khaled, Ferhat Abbas, and Ibn Badis, in promoting theideas of freedom, equality, solidarity, and justice, which have been the foundingprinciples of Third Worldism. The author also shows the role that Islam hasalways played in Third Worldist Algeria, notably through what has been called"Socialist Islam."Part 2, "Apogee," includes two chapters. In chapter 1 (the third chapter), "TheMaking of a World," the author starts with the concept of Third World (TiersMonde) as used for the first time in 1952 by French economist Alfred Sauvy,in relation to the "Tiers-Etats" which played an important role in the FrenchRevolution in 1789. Then, the author recaJJs the authentic founding event ofThird Worldism-the Bandung Conference of 1955. At the conference, twentynineAfro-Asian "heads of states, including the Algerian FLN, representing1,300 million people," met to promote a collective self-reliance strategy withinThird World countries; curiously enough, at the end of it, a resolution wasadopted calling for the independence of Algeria. The apogee of Third Worldism,the author recalls, was reached in 1974 when the U.N. General Assemblylaunched its Sixth Special Session on Raw Materials and Development andcalled-under the initiative of Algeria-for a New International EconomicOrder (NIEO) based on the principles of equity, sovereignty, equality, interdependence,common interest, and cooperation among all states, irrespective ofthe economic and social systems ...

The purpose of the work is an analysis of the current state of the universities of the North Caucasus Federal District from the point of view of creating competitive regional development centers, bearing in mind the Spatial Development Strategy of Russia.The research methodology is based on empirical research methods (observation, comparison, data collection and study), current and prospective analysis and synthesis of theoretical and practical material, multivariate systems analysis, sociology, statistical analysis, etc.Results. In the course of the study, features of the development of the NCFD universities were revealed, various aspects of their activities were analyzed. Detailed mapping of the development of the NCFD universities has been made on a wide range of parameters and indicators. The authors note the lack of intelligible parameters used in the formation of the target admission levels in the universities of the North Caucasus Federal District, the weak connection of these figures with the real economy. The absence of status universities in the North Caucasus Federal District, in particular a flagship university, contributes to the outflow of talented students to central Russian and foreign universities.Application area. The results of this work can be applied in the activities of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation in developing the new university model – “HEIs, providing personnel for basic branches of regional economy” and in planning the target admission levels of universities, setting goals for universities in the region in terms of synchronization their development programs with administrations for the implementation of national projects, programs for the socioeconomic development of the North Caucasus Federal District.Findings. The peculiarities of the socio-political and economic development of the NCFD indicate the difficulties in planning the training of highly skilled specialists for the region. Despite the fact that the “full range” of educational institutions in the North Caucasus Federal District is economically disadvantageous in the short term, the opportunity for young people to receive higher education in their region can be viewed as one of the few really effective channels of self-realization and socialization for a significant part of North Caucasian youth. Insufficient funding, weak involvement of universities in solving the problems of sustainable development of the region do not contribute to the creation and development of universities which can be the real drivers of sustainable and innovative development of the North Caucasus Federal District and competitive scientific and educational centers.

Power industry has become a vital component of the modern Russian economy and electric power plants can be found in each federal district of this country, which makes power industry of strategic importance for ensuring economic security of the Russian Federation. Similar to other industries, electric power sector has its specific features and a set of related specific risks and safety hazards. The authors argue that threats, inherent in power plants, must be examined for identifying urgent issues and ways to cope with threats, caused by fuel resources shortages, drawbacks in power supply of the North-Caucasian Region and challenges of peaking capacitances seasonality at water-power plants.

Presented here is a study of the bone industry from the Capsian site of SHM-1 in eastern Tunisia, dating from the 7th and 6th millennia BC. In spite of the very fragmentary condition of the 111 specimens analysed, the technological approach adopted — used for the first time in the Maghreb — shows recurrences within the chaines opératoires used in tool production, choice of raw materials, cutting and fashioning techniques, and the morphologies sought. The assemblage mainly consists of pointed tools obtained by grooving ruminant metapodials in two or four pieces, as well as other types peculiar to the North African context. The traits and patterns apparent in the SHM-1 assemblage are also found in other Capsian and Neolithic assemblages, thereby allowing us to make a first characterisation of certain technical and cultural components common to the Capsian tradition.

The article presents the results of the authors ‘ analytical work on the assessment of the economic potential of exports of the North-Western region. Within the framework of the work carried out, the activities carried out by state bodies in order to support exports are considered. The main indicators reflecting the dynamics of exports in the region are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the distribution of exports in the context of commodity nomenclature and economic entities, including small and medium-sized businesses. Attention is focused on the export of non-energy raw materials. The expediency for the North-Western Federal District to further study the issues of export promotion due to the existing competitive advantages is justified.

The article discusses the socio-economic effects of Russia’s state programs in the sphere of natural resources management, in particular those effects that, in our view, are not given enough attention within the framework of the national project ‘Ecology’. This shortcoming of the state programs can be overcome if policy-makers adopt an evidence-based approach. To this end, we propose an adjustable and flexible set of indicators of state programs. The analysis relies on the model of panel data that uses Rosstat data for Russian regions between 2017 and 2018. According to the modeling results, environmental factors have a significant influence on morbidity. An increase in emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere from stationary sources per unit (ton per capita) causes an increase in morbidity per 1,000 people (registered diseases in patients with a diagnosis established for the first time in life). Similarly, a 1 % increase in the share of industrial production in GRP causes an increase in morbidity by 3 units. Significant differences between regions of Russia were also detected. For example, in the Central Federal District, other things being equal, the incidence rate is lower by 52 units than other regions of Russia; in the North Caucasian Federal District, by 135 units, and in the Southern Federal District, by 109 units. In the North-Western Federal District, on the contrary, the incidence rate is higher by 113 units.

Data obtained from licenses of spearfishers and surveys conducted in 2004 and 2017 allowed for the analysis, for the first time, of the practice of spearfishing in the Madeira archipelago. Only a small percentage of the population practices spearfishing, mostly local young men. Most of them practice the activity with a partner throughout most of the year and along most of the island's coastal areas, although preferentially along the North and Southeast coast. Results show how, in recent years, despite the population of spearfishers decreasing, the abundance in the annual catch potentially increased, probably due to the higher investment of time in this activity. It has been observed that many fishers complement their catches with manual collecting of invertebrates. Overall, 40 teleost fishes and also 4 crustaceans and 8 molluscs were identified. The most frequently captured fish species were parrotfish and white seabream, while limpets were the most collected invertebrates in both selected periods.

The article develops methodological approach to the analysis of groups of interests’ influence on the choice of Russia’s development strategy. It is possible to pass on to the analysis of specific issues of economic policy by forming several sub-groups in every "analytical" group. The article also considers the structure of Russian economy which was formed as a result of transformational crisis’ influence on Soviet economy, and relevant international comparisons. Main alternative ways of transition to innovational development are the renewal of Soviet "triangle economy" (the scenario "Mobilization") and complex institutional changes (the scenario "Modernization").
