Socio-economic Development Of Russia Research Articles

СОКРАЩЕНИЕ БЕДНОСТИ В РОССИИ В КОНТЕКСТЕ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ ЦЕЛЕЙ РАЗВИТИЯ

The article examines the phenomenon of Russian poverty, its current state and dynamics. Poverty has become a major hindrance to the development of human capital by limiting access to development resources, such as quality health care, education, worthy wages, and successful socialization of children and youth. Although in Russia there is a wide range of strategic development documents prioritizing the improvement of the quality of life, poverty has long remained a persistent problem in the country and a threat to its security. Our research hypothesis is that the lack of an effective antipoverty policy determines the stagnant nature of poverty and the failure of certain financial measures to address this problem. To test the research hypothesis empirically, we explore strategic documents of socio-economic development in Russia and analyze the relevant indicators characterizing the current state and dynamics of poverty in 2010–2018. Our research relies on the official data of the Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat). We also consider poverty theories and antipoverty measures of different countries as well as the Russian retrospective data to show the need for an efficient antipoverty policy and to identify its priorities.

Institutional aspects of development of regional PPP Projects

The relevance of research into institutional aspects of public-private partnership (PPP) is evidenced by the continuously increasing role of research-and-technology, information technology, territorial and socioeconomic factors of influence on the development and implementation of regional PPP projects aimed at improving social welfare and accelerating the rate of socioeconomic development of Russia’s regions. Systemic impact of technical, technological, territorial and socioeconomic factors stipulates the need for the development of institutional environment of PPPs, which implies taking measures for protecting private investments and interests of private investors. This impact also predetermines the necessity to improve the currently existing institutional models of informational-legal base that ensure integration processes of managing PPP projects, with taking into consideration of regional differences and excess investment risks. In this regard, the present paper is aimed at detecting problems of development of PPP’s institutional environment at the regional level. The solution of these problems will allow elaborating models of institutional environment having integrated legal and regulatory framework, transparent and intelligible procedures and standing orders that are necessary when implementing complex socioeconomic projects of public importance for the development of regions. The authors of the paper have defined the role of institutional environment of public-private partnership (PPP) and municipal public-private partnership (MPPP) in the development of a region. The paper provides the results of generalized analysis of factors of development of institutional environment and regulatory-legal framework at the regional level. There were defined problems entailing the performance risks concerning the support of regional projects by public partners and risks of integrated models of interagency interaction at the stages of elaboration, selection and making decisions on implementing PPP and MPPP projects, performing measures of control, maintenance, monitoring and maintaining a register of PPP projects. The results of the research given in the paper are of applied importance for both academicians and practical workers, especially in using the assessments of a development level of institutional environment and legal framework when preparing or implementing projects on improving a region.

The Role of the Federal Budgetary Investments in Ensuring the Socio-Economic Development of Russia in 2019–2021

The paper describes the specifics of planning federal budget allocations for budgetary investments in 2019–2021.The relevance of the paper is due to the fact that Presidential Decree No. 204 of May 07.2018 sets the goal for Russia to break into the top five world economies and ensure economic growth rates exceeding the world rates while maintaining the macroeconomic stability. The subject of the research is federal budget allocations for budgetary investments. The purpose of the research was to assess the volume, dynamics, structure and legal support of budgetary investments to ensure their compliance with the objectives of the socio-economic development of Russia. Based on a dynamic structural analysis of the federal budget investments as well as a comparative analysis of fixed investments in Russia and developed countries, it is concluded that there is a need to enhance the fixed asset investments by increasing budgetary investment amounts along with encouraging private investing by the population and businesses. Apart from increasing capital investments from the federal budget, it is also important to update the budgetary investment structure with a focus on the main socioeconomic development targets. The analysis of the legal regulation in the field of budgetary investments showed the necessity to refine the existing legal framework to improve the quality of the budgetary investment planning. Following the analysis of factors hindering the growth of private investing, proposals were made on to how to improve the investment climate in the Russian Federation.

The Role of the Standardized Approach to Measuring the Counterparty Credit Risk Exposures (Basel III) in Order to Create Conditions for Russia’s Economic Growth

The subject of the researchis the Standardized Approach to measuring the Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) exposures according to the reform of the international standards of macroprudential regulation to ensure a breakthrough in the scientific, technological and socio-economic development of Russia. The purposeof the research was to assess the introduction and use of the post-crisis Basel III standard until 2021 to create financially sound credit and banking institutions as the main triggers of the system risk in order to maintain public confidence in the financial system and ensure sustainable economic growth. The paper examines the prospects for the implementation of the Basel III standard, taking into account the standardized approach to measuring the counterparty credit risk to meet the challenges of Russia’s entry into the top five world economies.Given the global financial market conditions, the economic growth is ensured by the economies of scale as well as by harmonization of structural macroprudential rules in different countries, which requires an international standardized approach to system risk management when macro-prudential policies are aimed at alleviating credit risks thereby having a positive impact on the economic growth.The effectiveness of the macro-prudential policy for banks is reduced when less regulated financial intermediaries increase the market share and openness allowing organizations and households to receive money from foreign financial sources.The paper concludesthat in shaping the country’s macro-prudential policies, it is necessary to assess the relative importance of each channel of manifestation and transformation of the system risk and its impact on the economic growth in the national economy.

From Modernization to Import Substitution: Perspectives on State Development ‘from Above’ and ‘from Below’

Citation: Biziukova V. (2019) From Modernization to Import Substitution: Perspectives on State Development ‘from Above’ and ‘from Below’. Mir Rossii, vol. 28, no 3, pp. 67–87. DOI: 10.17323/1811-038X-2019-28-3-67-87
 This paper focuses on the policies of the embargo and import substitution in the context of previous state projects of socio-economic development in Russia. It explores how the country’s development, its means and objectives, are envisaged by the state and members of the new middle classes. In particular, this study inquires into the meanings and interpretations of ‘modernization’ and puts this concept into the context of broader theoretical debates. The paper follows the discussion on the ‘modernization’ and ‘neo-modernization’ paradigms and demonstrates how the term has acquired a primarily instrumental meaning as part of an increasingly particularistic project of socio-political development embraced by the Russian state. The analysis traces how this state vision resonates with, and differs from, the perspectives of the new middle classes on state development, in particular, the wide-spread sympathies towards ‘technocratic’ governance. Finally, it discusses the political implications of these interpretations and the ways they shape the enactment of the new policies ‘on the ground’.

On the Strategy for the Economic Security and Socioeconomic Development of Russia

ABSTRACT On May 13, 2017, the “Strategy for the Economic Security of the Russian Federation up to 2030” was ratified by the Russian government. This article considers the major question the “Strategy” tries to answer: How can Russia’s economic security by achieved and maintained? One major problem facing Russia today is the lack of government regulation of the economy. We consider some of the negative consequences of the lack of regulation, in particular massive deindustrialization. We describe several causes of deindustrialization (e.g., failed privatization and the absence of investment) and propose several ways that government regulation can facilitate the reindustrialization of the national economy (reinvesting resource wealth and creating long-term loans). Finally, we argue that to reverse negative economic trends, Russia must adopt a two-phase strategy to be completed in twelve years (2019–2030), which necessitates the mobilization of major financial and organizational resources. The first six-year phase (2019–2024) covers the massive innovative reconstruction of existing low-profit and negative-profit enterprises, and the second stage (2025–2030) will create large modern enterprises. The main goal for this twelve-year strategy is to bring the Russian economy into the orbit of the industrialized countries and to use the system of innovation accumulated during this time to start the new stage of state-corporate capitalism characterized by industrialization.
