After the end of the Cold War Russia has significantly increased its participation in multilateral mechanisms in the Asia-Pacific region and is clearly trying to become a significant player in regional institution-building. For two post-Cold War Russia decades was involved in almost all the basic mechanisms of multilateral cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. However, often Russia isn't perceived by Asian partners as an equal participant in the Asia-Pacific region, it is felt particularly in the area of multilateral economic cooperation. Russia's entry into the WTO (2011) and the formation of the Common Economic stimulated Russia's engagement in multilateral economic structures. Russia's inclusion in the negotiating framework of ASEM (2010) and EAS (2011) perceives that Asian countries are willing to see Russia as a full member not only in regional processes, but also globally. The main stimulus for the revision of the Asian direction of foreign policy and the role of Siberia and the Far East appears during APEC summit in Vladivostok in 2012. The APEC summit demonstrated the geostrategic importance of the development of the Russian Far East and Siberia, as a key element of Russia's inclusion in the mechanisms of regional cooperation, on the other hand, it became clear that without the participation of foreign partners effective development of the Far Eastern territories is hardly possible. Large-scale investment and infrastructure projects in the Far East has already significantly revived the situation in the region opening new opportunities for multilateral cooperation.

<p><span>The article is devoted to the issues of economic development of the Far Eastern territories of Russia. The Russian Far East occupies a rather advantageous economic and geographical position in Russia and the Asia-Pacific region since it borders with China, Japan and the United States. The purpose of the research is to determine the main directions for improving the economic development of the Far Eastern coastal territories, to compare the development of the coastal territories of the Far East, namely, the territory of Primorsky Krai with other countries, to provide a comparative analysis and draw certain conclusions. The area of the region makes up 36 % of the whole Russian territory while its population is only 4 % of the country’s population, which is due to severe weather conditions and weak economic development. The gross regional product to the Far East accounts for 5.7 % of the GRP of Russia. The paper features foreign experience in the development of coastal territories in the USA, China, Japan and Canada. It can be concluded that Russia significantly lags behind these countries in terms of GDP, exports, involvement in trade with the Asia-Pacific Region, and the sale of manufacturing </span><span>products. A comparative analysis showed that the industrial structure of Russian coastal areas is </span><span>similar only with those of Canada in raw material orientation of shipped goods, population of the port cities, whereas the indicators of the volume of Far Eastern cargo transportation in Russia lag behind all the countries examined. Apparently the main areas of development of the Far Eastern territories are: structural changes in the economy; attracting foreign investment in the creation of both mining, logging, and processing industries; development of transport infrastructure.</span></p>

The Creation

Introduction. The article analyzes the experience of creating and functioning zones of preferential economic regimes in the Asia-Pacific region. It is shown that in order to create better conditions for doing business on their territory, attract foreign and domestic investment, introduce innovative technologies, increase production volumes, increase the degree of localization and import substitution, increase exports of products and services, create new jobs. The APR countries are focused on the development and implementation of preferential economic regimes.Materials and methods. The methodological basis for the study of the formation and functioning of zones of preferential regimes are General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, analogy) and special methods for analyzing the enclave approach, the theory of growth poles and growth triangles. The materials of the Far East development Corporation and the Ministry of the Russian Federation of the Far East and the Arctic development on the analysis of the practice of applying preferential regimes operating in the territory of the Russian Federation and abroad were used.Research result. The creation of preferential economic regimes with developed infrastructure in the last four decades in the Asia-Pacific countries has become a widespread practice that has allowed to expand the sales market, getting closer to the direct consumer, and minimize the costs associated with production and logistics through tax incentives and preferences.Discussion and conclusion. The Russian Far East, which is part of the Asia-Pacific region of the world, is inferior to the economic zones of the Asia- Pacific countries in terms of infrastructure quality and logistics development. It is concluded that additional measures are needed to support preferential regimes, increase investment attractiveness and improve the investment climate to ensure the competitiveness of the Far East in the Asia-Pacific region of the world.

The Government

The article aims to put forward new approaches to encouraging the development of Russia's Eastern regions. Firstly, the author describes Pacific Russia as a specific social and economic territory. He insists that in its strategic planning the government has to take into account not only the region’s vast territory and unfavorable climate, but its economic and social orientation towards Asia-Pacific region. Secondly, the author analyzes underlying causes of previous failures to speed up Pacific Russia’s development. Two factors have stimulated policy towards Russia Pacific: the desire to strengthen Moscow’s control over this region and to ensure Russia presence in the APR. Infrastructure improvement, increase of local population, and a stronger binding of this region to European center were the three main pillars of this policy. Traditional instruments such as administrative and political resources and program-oriented planning have been used. The Kremlin actions to implement its goals have yielded some positive results, especially in the field of Russia’s advance into the Asia-Pacific and its trade with Northeast Asian countries. However, the efficiency of politico-administrative and intellectual efforts was extremely low, and the purpose to make the Far East a Russia’s steady foothold in the Asia Pacific region has not been achieved. Finally, the author claims that from the standpoint of Russia's national interests the development of Pacific Russia region is preferably a strategic rather than an economic project. If Moscow really intends to convert this chronically problematic region into a successful one it has to give up to perceive the region as an appendage of European motherland and to rethink the ideology of its development. Author calls to abandon the idea of socio-economic development of the whole territory of the Far East and to prefer a “zonal development model” with the stress on strategic goals, individual policies for each zone and anthropocentric approach to regional development. Zonal development is based on the recognition of unique functions performed by different territories of Pacific Russia, so these areas should become the subjects of a differentiated policy. Anthropocentric approach means preferential federal investment into human capital, as well as special attention to the local people interests and potential as the resources of Russian policy in the APR.

В работе представлено обоснование необходимости пере-хода вертолётостроительного производства Дальнего Востока России на инновационный подход технологического развития, который позволит преодолеть влияние территориальных и отраслевых негативных факторов и закрепиться на динамичных рынках Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона. Обозначены перспективы роста экономики России и вертолётостроения, в частности, за счет выхода на рынки Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона. В качестве организационного инструмента, способствующего продвижению инновационных технологий в вертолётостроительном производстве, предлагается создание центра технологических компетенций. It was found that the far East of Russia has unique competitive advantages, the main of which is the neighborhood with the dy-namically developing countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the economic rate of which over the past decade exceeds the global average. The strategic task facing the Russian economy is inte-gration into consolidation in the markets of the Asia-Pacific region, as producers of high-tech products. This necessitates the development of high-tech industries in the Russian far East, which include helicopter construction. In the helicopter industry in Russia there is a lag the world's leading companies in the use of innovative technologies of design, production and after-sales service. In addition, the work found that there are several prob-lems in the industry: the limited size of the domestic market, the reduction of public funding for new developments, the lack of competence of staff to work in the global market. In the far East, this situation is complicated by the influence of negative regional factors: high costs in the economy, a long, outflow of population, remoteness from traditional markets and suppliers, the raw material nature of the economy. The paper substantiates the need for the transition of helicopter production in the Far East of the Russian Federa-tion to an innovative approach to technological development, which will overcome the influence of ter-ritorial and sectoral negative factors. The components of the proposed innovative approach are the introduction into production of products with high export potential, building cooperation with partners from the Asia-Pacific region, technological renewal of the production system, establishing cooperation with scientific and educational institutions, small and medium-sized businesses. A tool for the imple-mentation of a new approach to the technological development of helicopter production in the Far East of Russia will be the creation of a center Of technological competencies, which will allow for coopera-tion between the production enterprises of the region and scientific and educational institutions, which will contribute to the generation of new knowledge and its practical use in production activities The rapid introduction of innovative technologies will increase the competitiveness of the Russian helicopter industry, which will strengthen its position in the Asia-Pacific region.
