Abstract

Summarized are fi ndings of the research study “Special-purpose program management of comprehensive development of the Arctic area of the Russian Federation”) based on systems methodology, partially published in 2014-2015 and funded by the Russian Science Foundation. The fi ndings above include substantiation of the uniqueness of the Arctic area of the Russian Federation as an object of public administration and public policy and that of the program of comprehensive development of this area as the Russian Arctic area redevelopment megaproject. The study outcomes also involve: analysis and assessment of the key substantive components and two implementation phases of the program above; analysis and substantiation of the specifi city of using project-oriented approach in the practice of special-purpose program management of development of the Arctic area of the Russian Federation. Briefl y discussed are and evaluation provided of the experiences of using projectoriented approach in practical public administration and public policy in Russia. The key fi nding of the paper, valuable for substantiation of the organizational system and practical issues of the policy above – effi ciency of the megaproject of the region's redevelopment is signifi cantly precipitated by eff ective application of the special-purpose program management approach to the development policy for the Arctic area of the Russian Federation. Within this context the area above is interpreted as a unique and integrated object of the public policy while coordination of every policy actor relies on the shared (single) target of the megaproject and economic, social and infrastructural ties both historically established and those specially designed and organized to implement this megaproject.
