Regional policy under unitary federalism

N.I.Larina

Journal "Region: Economics and Sociology", 2006, vol. 1

Abstract: The recent measures taken by the state to deal with imbalances between political rights, functional duties and means to exercise them available to the regional authorities of the Russian Federation have conveyed to the model of the nation-state the features of “unitary federalism”. The subjects of the Russian Federation are endowed with less power and opportunities in regulating the economy than are sub-federal authorities of “competitive federalism” (USA) or of “cooperative federalism” (FRG). In this context it is proposed to establish in the territory of the federal districts the divisions of the RF MinEcon, RF MinRegion and RF MinFin that would be responsible for administering the economic policy of the federal government. The aim is to put together the principles of the efficiency of richer regions, “locomotives of growth”, with help to lagging regions, and on the basis of equitable development to pursue the integration of regional economic policies.
