Financial and Legal Goals of the Development of Territorial Preferential Regimes

The modern challenges facing the Russian state require the optimization of legal instruments that provide the material basis for sovereignty and economic well-being of the population, regardless of place of residence. There is a need for a significant reconfiguration of territorial preferential regimes taking into account current conditions, primarily based on a conceptual rethinking of their target characteristics. The current legal regulation of territorial preferential regimes is not based on a well-developed modern theoretical basis for goal-setting of these regimes; it is characterized by the lack of proper teleological connections between these regimes and strategic planning, as well as the unsystematic nature, inconsistency, and vagueness of their goal-setting, which makes it difficult to realize their potential and does not allow one to evaluate their effectiveness in a complete and reasonable manner. The identification in legislation of the goals of territorial preferential regimes with the goals of the laws defining these regimes and the general functional characteristics of the state (for example, economic development, ensuring the livelihoods of the population) indicates methodological uncertainty in the issue of goal setting. The understanding of the teleology of territorial preferential regimes is substantiated from the position of the system-forming importance of financial and legal regulation, which implies a reasonable combination of the principles of financial profitability, financial-territorial (and socio-economic) alignment, and increasing the level of well-being. The main purpose of territorial preferential regimes is revealed in the financial and legal aspect.
