INTEGRATION POTENTIAL OF THE REGIONS

Abstract

Global changes in the economy concern not only individual countries, but also serious changes are taking place at the level of the national economy. The issues of effective development, improvement of the quality and standard of living of the population are becoming key for the regions of Russia.

The article considers the prospect of integration interregional interactions that contribute to the involvement of individual territories in a single process of obtaining added value at the expense of the potential and resources of each regional entity.

The possibility of integration processes is substantiated from the point of view of accumulated integration potential and urgent problems of socio-economic development of regions and macro-regions. Which can be solved through integration processes.

Using the example of the Siberian Federal District, a map of the placement of regions from the position of high and low ratings of the main socio-economic indicators is constructed, which clearly indicates the existing significant gap in the development of individual regions located in the structure of the macro-region.

An integration policy based on the interactions of border regions and regions united into a single macro-region is proposed as a tool for managing the process of leveling the current economic situation in the regional aspect, which will bring lagging regions to a higher level of development.
