Нормативно-правовые барьеры и риски цифровизации региональных экономических систем

Abstract

The scientific article is dedicated to the study of existing regulatory and legal barriers that prevent the digitalization of the regional economy. The relevance of this study is determined by the need to create a favorable legal environment for the digitalization project development. In addition, the significance of the research topic is determined by the possible occurrence of national state interests’ threats. The general scientific research methods were used when writing the article, such as the analysis of normative legal acts, the study and generalization of information, classification. The article contains a conclusion about the current normative project activity trends of regional economy digitalization in the Russian Federation. By the end of 2019, less than half of the Russian Federation’s regions have developed economy digitalization programs. This fact is based on the lack of understanding of economy transformation concept among the authorities. Moreover, this situation is caused by the imperfectness of the methodological base. The article also identifies the “weak spots” of the domestic industry legislation that hinder the “digital economy” development and lead to the occurrence of threat to national state interests. Particular importance in the context of ensuring the national interests of the Russian Federation have legislative gaps on the use of citizens’ personal data as well as the information constituting state, banking, and medical secrets. The conducted research will allow participants of strategic planning at all levels of administration and subjects of law-making in the Russian Federation to form draft normative legal acts containing necessary provisions for the effective economy transformation in the context of digitalization.
