Развитие механизма создания индустриального парка на основе государственно-частного партнерства

Currently, industrial parks are seen as a tool to improve the competitiveness of the Russian Federation. The development of the industrial park sphere is slow, extremely uneven. Industrial sites are characterized by a low degree of efficiency. Implementation of the principles of public-private partnership (PPP) in the Russian practice aimed to design and to develop industrial parks is constrained by several factors, including the high investment costs for the project, the associated risks, inadequate financing instruments. A lack of organizational and economic mechanism to support the interaction between participants in creating and operating PPP based industrial parks is a significant barrier.The purpose of the study is to establish and develop the organizational and economic mechanism of interaction between the participants in creating and operating PPP (public-private partnership) based industrial parks.PPP schemes applicable to the industrial parks are being implemented on the basis of a private or public park. The most effective use of PPPs was found to be the organization of mixed parks with setting up a public company, which shares are owned by the state and a private investor. Infrastructure projects should be financed by public and private investors. At the same time managing company can be organized on purpose or be outsourced. This organizational and economic mechanism completely meets the PPP principles and allows to organize the work and services to residents of the industrial park in the most efficient manner.

Economic Ground of Mechanism Experience for Implementation of Investment Projects within the Framework of Concession Agreements in the Development of the Mineral Industry of Russia

The article deals with increase in the investment appeal of the economic systems specialized in mineral resource by means of forming a modern innovation infrastructure through the implementation of socially significant investment projects in the format of concession agreements. It justifies that the committed partnership mechanism existing in Western countries in the relations between the state and business entities within the concession agreements, reflecting the economic aspects of the liberal concept of development and provisions of the stakeholder theory and based on the principles of publicprivate partnerships, is recognized as an effective economic mechanism for implementation of investment projects relating to the efficient use of infrastructure. It is stressed that in Western countries, such a mechanism is formed in the presence of an appropriate institutional environment and legal framework which ensures the functioning of the partnership relations. The article reveals organizational and legal nature of the concession mechanism: the main principles of organization and basic schemes for investment project implementation under concession agreements are described. It is argued that it is possible to use the represented mechanism in the Russian conditions to create and reconstruct the infrastructure facilities necessary for the development of the specialization sectors of economic systems and the mining industry enterprises, which form the basis of industrial agglomerations. In order to employ the world experience in implementing similar projects in the Russian environment, the analysis of the organizational and legal nature has been carried out and the possible concession scheme for project implementation in accordance with applicable law have been described.

Arctic policy in an era of global instability: Experience and lessons for Russia

The results of studies of the formation of Arctic policies and Arctic strategies of different countries under the conditions of globalization and climate change, as well as geopolitical and economic trends, are presented. The positions of the Arctic countries are shown on the basis of the analysis of a composite index, which characterizes their resources, infrastructure, and socio-economic development. Resource and innovative aspects of the development of the Arctic territories, their risks and uncertainties, new drivers for Arctic socio-economic development (climate change, globalization, and increasing economic activity in the Arctic) are considered. Problems of sovereignty and national security of the Arctic Basin, as well as the possibility of reducing the risks of uncertainty and of the instability of the circumpolar territories on the basis of international cooperation (a case study of the activity of the Arctic Council) are analyzed. Particular emphasis is placed on the economic aspects of development of the Russian North and the Arctic in the context of global instability, risks, and threats; the main requirements for a new Russian Arctic policy are formulated. These are multidimensionality, integration, environmental friendliness, use of the principles of public-private partnerships, and the social responsibility of business. The outlines of promising North-Arctic development as part of the modernization of Russia’s economic space are shown.

Stakeholders Involvement or Public Subsidy of Private Interests? Appraising the Case of Public Private Partnerships in Pakistan

Government of Pakistan established several ‘publicly funded, privately managed’ companies based on the principles of Public Private Partnership. This paper analyses whether this unique PPP model protects the interests of both the public and private stakeholders, or is this just a means to public subsidizing of private interests? By drawing on evidence from primary and secondary sources, this paper finds that though some elements of PPP are present in these companies, they, as a whole, are not truly public private partnerships. They do, however, represent an innovative relationship between the public and private sectors.

Public private partnerships

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are the new and the most complex instrument for incitement of economic development in modern countries. They have been present for the last 20 years, especially in the EU countries where the European Commission has recently (2004) published the Green Paper, which defines rules and regulations of PPPs. The law on PPPs has been adopted in Serbia in 2011, and since than one public-private partnership has been established. The articles analyses basic principles of PPPs. Explanation of the term is followed by history, characteristics and basic types of PPPs. Necessary institutional frame for PPPs has been explained and crucial questions about risk distribution, ownership, contract making and guarantees are being considered. Keys to successful PPPs are summarized. The conclusion represents pros and cons of PPPs.

The Development of International Tourism in Lithuania: a Comparative Analysis of Regional Aspects

82 The processes related to the development of international tourism in Lithuania are of importance for the growth of economic, social, and cultural welfare. The increasing tourist and recreational attractiveness of such cities as Druskininkai, Trakai, Palanga, Vilnius, and Klaipeda to international tourists, as well as an advantageous quality-price ratio of the services offered contribute to the growth of competitiveness on the international tourism market. Service standards applied in Lithuania at the international tourism market uphold and improve the image of Lithuania in the Baltic Sea region. The interregional cooperation between Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia in the field of international tourism development is based on the principle of public private partnership. It has been recently acknowledged that the three Baltic States form an integrating region in the field of international tourism and thus affect the Kaliningrad region, North-east Poland, Southern Finland, and partially Belarus. Therefore, Lithuania plays an important role in the integration of the tourist infrastructure of the Kaliningrad region into the tourist system of the Baltics. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the processes relating to the development of international tourism in Lithuania in the context of the Baltic States. We also carry out the comparison of regional competitive factors and trace the patterns for further development of international tourism in Lithuania in the framework of cross-border and transborder cooperation.

Methodological problems of formation of a new system of regional governance

The competitiveness of any social and production structure is provided by resources and efficient practices of their management. This article deals with the improvement in the management of regional development. The present process of establishing a new system of regional governance is going on in the absence of a clear understanding of the model of management. Thus, the earlier principles, which can be defined as “the state has no place in the economy” and “every person is the architect of his or her own happiness” have not provided a breakthrough in the economy and have exacerbated social problems. These principles do not seem conclusive, and they were replaced by new ones, such as the principle of public-private partnership, principle of priority of investments in human capital and the strategic direction of the development of the economy (innovation projects, health care, and education). The specificity of the control over a region is that economic and social processes in its territory are determined by governmental decisions at different levels—the government, enterprise, region, and the resident population. In the generalized form, the governance functions at the regional level can be defined as a system to ensure the effective use of its resource potential and competitive advantages in the interests of all parties involved in the support of its reproduction. The basic directions in building a new system of regional management are the following: The paper provides a critical analysis of the methods for the assessment of the efficiency of federal subjects’ executive bodies developed in accordance with the corresponding ordinance of the government.

Problems of public-private partnership in implementation of strategic projects of the North

In the phase of its economic growth in 2002–2008, Russia returned to the development and implementation of strategic complex megaprojects aimed at creating a new infrastructural and industrial base in the Russian Federation and the development of natural resources, located in the North, including the Arctic shelf areas, which are currently in demand on world markets. This increases the significance of coordinating the government economic and social policies in the North, making them consistent with the long-term geoeconomic strategy of developing the North as a part of the economic space of Russia and global Arctic. Megaprojects in the North pursue geopolitical, macroeconomic, and socioeconomic goals, but priority is given to market objectives, i.e., high economic efficiency for both state-owned and private companies. The article describes the characteristics and properties of strategic megaprojects of the Russian North, discusses the state management of their implementation, and the role of the government in the mitigation of geopolitical and management risks for corporations and regions participating in the megaproject. It is shown that public-private partnership (PPP) is a strategic direction for the implementation of complex northern megaprojects. The fundamental problem in choosing the PPP form is the adequacy of the megaproject complexity to the structure of its participants’ production and financial assets. An analysis of organizational and economic risks, which are inherent in northern megaprojects implemented on the basis of PPP principles, such as “Complex Development of Southern Yakutia,” “Complex Development of the Lower Angara Area,” “Complex Development of the Transbaikal Area,” and “Ural Industrial-Ural Polar,” is presented. It is shown that the government and business faced with the problem of inefficient coordination of management decisions made by businesses and federal subjects by federal executive authorities. This problem can raise doubts about the effectiveness of large businesses’ participation in a megaproject and therefore undermine the implementation of that megaproject in general. The authors propose to evaluate the PPP effectiveness by assessing the degree of consistency in the long-term geopolitical, economic, and social interests of participants in the development, i.e., federal and regional executive authorities responsible for addressing specific cross-sectoral and interregional issues and corporations implementing strategic projects in the North. The government’s role consists in maintaining a comprehensive interaction between companies ensuring balanced development and in the mitigation of geopolitical, innovation, and production (development) risks in the North. A methodical approach is proposed to the development of organizational patterns for the interaction between the government and business on the basis of PPP principles; federal-level coordination problems are substantiated, the objects of PPP are identified, and the forms of agreements between investing companies and the government are determined. The necessity is proved to create a federal coordinator at the predesign stage of megaprojects. The federal coordinator communicates with regional corporations regarding issues of strategic project implementation, which will significantly accelerate the managerial decision-making process. By way of example, the case of the megaproject for developing the East-Siberian Oil and Gas Complex (ESOGC) is considered and recommendations are worked out for stating coordination problems for the ESOGC, defining the subject of agreements and contracts between companies and the government for the implementation of projects, taking into account time and the achievement of acceptable efficiency levels of investments in private projects.

Determinants of the implementation of facility management in German communes

PurposeThis paper sets out to assess the extent of application of two important facets of facility management – building management and the principle of public‐private partnership (PPP).Design/methodology/approachThe approach takes the form of a survey of German communes, the primary interest in this regard being the question of the determinants of this application. The theory of planned behaviour forms the theoretical basis of the investigation. A total of 282 mayors, 217 treasurers and 168 heads of real estate offices ultimately participated in the survey.FindingsProfessional building management, understood to be a package of facility management services during the building use phase, and in particular PPP, have so far only been realised in German communes to a very limited extent, despite consistently positive attitudes on the part of the decision‐makers. The investigation sheds light on the differential reasons: in the case of PPP, normative pressure for co‐operation between communes and business proves to be the most influential determinant, while in the case of building management subjectively perceived control is of greatest importance.Research limitations/implicationsThe results reflect just processes in communes, but they give an example of the usability of the theory of planned behaviour as the explanation of the FM‐implementation process.Practical implicationsThe results give ideas for pushing the FM‐implementation in communes.Originality/valueThere has been no previous research on this topic.
