Strategic management of the Arctic zone development based on the multicentric approach

Abstract

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to create scientifically substantiated approaches to the strategic development management of the Arctic zone on the basis of a multicentric approach. The state management of the development of this region on the basis of the multicentric approach will contribute to the economic growth of the territory. The aim of the research is to study the concept of multicentric interaction between internal and external actors in the territory of the Arctic region, the specifics of their implemented strategic activities, to assess their impact on the state policy of Russia in the Arctic zone in order to develop measures aimed at transforming the strategic development of this territory in order to develop the Arctic zone potential as part of a unified nationwide agenda. The author’s proposed concept of strategic management of the Arctic region development involves the formation of human and social capital, support of local initiatives, diversification of activities, development of public policy based on a balanced consideration of the interests of internal and external actors, as well as the development of appropriate mechanisms to improve the efficiency of the entire Arctic ecosystem. The article uses the methods of structural and system analysis to study the essence of the stakeholder approach in the management of socio-economic systems. The retrospective assessment and textmining of domestic and foreign experience of studying the stakeholder management system allowed to define its role in the state management of socio-economic development of the Arctic zone and to propose the concept of multicentric approach, which allows to differentiate the interests of parties and choose the most effective interaction strategy. It is concluded that to improve the effectiveness of state management of socio-economic development of the Arctic zone it is necessary to develop strategic measures to involve stakeholders in management decision-making processes.
