The article analyzes the organization of a new mineral resource center in the Arctic, which can be formed on the territory of the regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The creation of the center will have a positive impact on the spatial and socio-economic development of the Arctic territories of Russia and will expand interregional cooperation in the directions “north-south” and “westeast” within the framework of building value chains. The connection between the mineral resource center and the industrial regions of the country will be ensured. However, there are limitations that hinder the establishment of the center. The main constraints include infrastructural (transport, energy, telecommunications and others), personnel (access to skilled labor), intraregional and interregional differences. The most important condition for the implementation of the project is the possibility of obtaining a synergy effect from the placement of projects for the development of mineral resources within the framework of a single infrastructure. This effect can be obtained both for companies participating in the creation of a mineral resource center and for the state (both at the federal and regional levels).

The fulfillment of renewable energy supported by environmentally friendly technology is important for the Indonesian people especially in the border areas of Indonesia and Timor Leste today. This is a preliminary study that aims to map the possibility of wind energy in the border areas of Indonesia and Timor Leste, especially in North Central Timor District, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The method of research is the qualitative method with participatory observation approach. The results of the study found that the potential of wind energy in Mount Ainiut that can generate electricity of 7 x 3.5 = 24.5 Megawatts can be consumed 20,000 homes and small industries scattered around the West Timor Region. Local people are also open to accept the construction of microgrid electric technology facilities based on wind energy that is environmentally friendly. The findings of potential wind and acceptance of local communities can be important information for the Indonesian government to adopt relevant policies to support development efforts to provide electricity for communities in Indonesia's border regions of Indonesia and Timor Leste where satisfactory electricity needs are not yet met. Collaboration of the private and government sectors, especially the ministries in charge of the mineral resources of the Republic of Indonesia is very important. This has a positive impact on the economic growth of societies in the border areas of Indonesia and Timor Leste.

The Arctic is characterized by a significant potential in terms of mineral resources, raw materials, hydrocarbons, and energy. In the North, mining and extractive industries are booming, but the expansion of exploration in the severe climate conditions requires the use of advanced technologies, many of which have not been developed and adopted in Russia. For this reason, there is a need to promote investment activity in the Arctic. This chapter discusses the most effective customs instruments for the attraction of foreign investments, identifies critical problems in the sphere of development of investment collaboration between Russia and non-Arctic countries of Asia (China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea), and offers practical solutions in the field of investment collaboration in the High North.

The article consider the implementation of the Comprehensive Development Plan for the village of Tiksi for the period up to 2025, worked out by the Ministry for the Development of the Arctic and the Affairs of the Peoples of the North of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The authors outline constraints and perspective directions of the village development, its capacity and growth points, which include modernization and development of seaport, the implementation of projects in the field of energy and resource efficiency, the creation of a tourist cluster “Russian North of the Arctic”, the construction of a trade and logical center. The implementation of this approach will contribute to the creation of an economic growth center for the Arctic.

The development of mineral resources in the Arctic territories is one of the priorities of the state policy of Russia. This endeavor requires modern technologies, high-quality personnel, and a large number of labor resources. However, the regions of the Arctic are characterized by difficult working and living conditions, which makes them unattractive to the working population. The research objectives were to study the importance of Arctic mineral resources for the Russian economy, the Arctic mineral resource potential, and the migration attractiveness of Arctic regions. The migration processes in these locations were analyzed and modeled using a new econometric tool—complex-valued regression models. The authors assume that the attractiveness of the Arctic regions is determined by the level of their social and economic development and can be assessed using a number of indicators. A comparative analysis of four regions that are entirely in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation was carried out based on the calculation of integral indicators of the social and economic attractiveness of these territories. Forecasting migration growth using the proposed complex-valued models produced better results than simple trend extrapolation. The authors conclude that complex-valued economic models can be successfully used to forecast migration processes in the Arctic regions of Russia. Understanding and predicting migration processes in the Arctic will make it possible to develop recommendations for attracting labor resources to the region, which will contribute to the successful development of its resource potential. The methodology of this study includes desk studies, a graphical method, arithmetic calculations, correlation analysis, statistical analysis, and the methods of the complex-valued economy.

Mode Of Transport

Research objective: studies of economic and transport infrastructure development in the Arctic and Northern Territories of Russia. Research methodology: analysis of transport infrastructure in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the types of railways used in Russia. Results: economic development of any region is proportional to the development of the road transport infrastructure and logistics. When a conventional railway is operated in the Arctic conditions, it is not always possible to maintain a cargo turnover that would ensure its efficient use, and transshipment from one mode of transport to another is very problematic. A new type of railway is proposed, i.e. a light railway. Conclusions: the proposed new type of transport offers all the main advantages of narrow gauge railroads (high speed of construction, efficiency, etc.) and helps to eliminate their main disadvantage, i.e. the need for transloading when moving from a narrow gauge to the conventional one with the width of 1520 mm, along with a significant reduction in capital costs.

Insight Into

This book examines the two generations that spanned the collapse of the Republic and the Augustan period to understand how the concept of pax Romana, as a central ideology of Roman imperialism, evolved. The author argues for the integral nature of pax in understanding the changing dynamics of the Roman state through civil war to the creation of a new political system and world-rule. The period of the late Republic to the early Principate involved changes in the notion of imperialism. This is the story of how peace acquired a central role within imperial discourse over the course of the collapse of the Republican framework to become deployed in the legitimization of the Augustan regime. It is an examination of the movement from the debates over the content of the concept, in the dying Republic, to the creation of an authorized version controlled by the princeps, through an examination of a series of conceptions about peace, culminating with the pax augusta as the first crystallization of an imperial concept of peace. Just as there existed not one but a series of ideas concerning Roman imperialism, so too were there numerous different meanings, applications, and contexts within which Romans talked about ‘peace’. Examining these different nuances allows us insight into the ways they understood power dynamics, and how these were contingent on the political structures of the day. Roman discourses on peace were part of the wider discussion on the way in which Rome conceptualized her Empire and ideas of imperialism.
