Viacheslav Seliverstov ()

Journal "Region: Economics and Sociology", 2006, vol. 4

Abstract: The paper considers the recent changes concerning the governmental regulation in the regional development and regional policy in Russia. The author notes that many positive changes concerning the programming documents on regional development (such as the Development Strategies for macroregions and units of the Russian Federation), financial support for regional policies (national projects, conditional investment projects and etc.) and institutional structures (regional development agencies) can be observed. The article shows the correlation of these changes with the ongoing administrative reform, municipal reform and transition to budgeting the output. The author also analyses a Draft Law on Regional Policy and the Regional Socio-Economic Development Strategy Concept for the Russian Federation prepared by the Ministry of Regional Development of Russian Federation. Considering a “polarized development” concept as a ground for a new model of the regional policy in Russia, the author describes the strong and weak aspects of this concept and gives the proposals to improve it.
