Transformation of the Economic Space: New Vectors of Integrated Development of Territories

The subject of the study is the economic space of Russia, operating in difficult macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. The purpose of the work is to identify the features of the Russian economic space and the factors influencing its state and development dynamics. Based on the consideration of socio-economic indicators in the post-Soviet period and the works of Russian researchers on the problems of strategic management and planning, the analysis of modern problems hindering the coordinated functioning and interaction of the structural components of the Russian economic space is carried out. The definition of the concept of «economic space» is given, and the Spatial Development Strategy for the period up to 2030 is described in detail. Strategic documents on the spatial development of the country are critically analyzed. The key industries, areas of activity, opportunities, trends and promising areas of development of the Russian economic space for the coming period have been identified. The influence of tourism on the national economy is revealed and its role in the formation of the supply economy is established. Conclusions are drawn about the expediency of adifferentiated approach to choosing priorities for the development of business entities at the meso-level and focusing on ensuring the fullest possible innovative use of all components of the material base of the economy: labor, capital and natural resources for a timely assessment of their capabilities in the economic space of Russia.
