Strategic Objectives Of Development Research Articles

The scientific recommendations on the organization of state intervention regulation in the agricultural sector at the present stage

State intervention regulation is a variable system, the effectiveness of which depends on the priorities of the state’s active intervention in the functioning of the market, in conjugation of the interests of market counterparties. They, in turn, follow from the current situation and strategic development objectives. When preparing the article, we proceeded from the fact that it is practically impossible to develop a universal scheme of intervention impact. This conclusion is confirmed, among other things, by studying the scientific literature – the recommendations of the authors have many distinctive features both in terms of the range of issues under consideration (commodity and price interventions, correction of export-import operations, state support, stimulation of scientific and technological progress, etc.), and specific conclusions attached to them. It is necessary to take into account many factors, the role of each of which individually is different in its significance, direction, strength and duration of impact, and in the aggregate forms unique combinations, the nature of the influence of which is very diverse.In this regard, the paper gives recommendations in relation to the current situation, which takes into account integration processes, resource opportunities, and the potential for growth in demand for food on the world market. We took into account the developments of both Belarusian and foreign scientists, taking into account changes in the demographic situation, the unfavorable political background of trade with unfriendly countries, their results are critically rethought, on the basis of this, a complete author’s system of recommendations on key areas of state economic interventions in the agroindustrial complex is presented.

At the same time, it is proposed, on the basis of the developed methodology, to rank the subjects of the Russian Federation in accordance with the results achieved, to identify and replicate the best practices for achieving national development goals, taking into account the testing of the rating assessment for individual indicators.

О ПОКАЗАТЕЛЯХ ОЦЕНКИ ДОСТИЖЕНИЯ РЕГИОНАМИ НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ ЦЕЛЕЙ РАЗВИТИЯ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

The paper considers the procedure for evaluating the indicators proposed by the authors to assess the achievement of national goals and strategic development objectives in the regions of Russia. It is assumed that the approach proposed by the authors will allow for effective ongoing monitoring of the implementation of the strategic tasks facing the highest officials of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and in the future will become the main one for the development of a comprehensive methodology for rating regions, ensuring the identification and replication of best practices for achieving national development goals.

INDICES FOR ASSESSING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN

The article is devoted to the study of foreign and domestic experience in assessing the quality of life of the population. The issues of assessing the quality of life of the population are becoming relevant again in the light of the implementation of national goals and strategic development objectives of both the country as a whole and in the regional aspect.

Global Challenges and Barriers to Sustainable Economic Growth in the Agribusiness Sector

The paper presents four main megatrends of global economic development: 1) changes in value chains, 2) development of a new food system model, 3) redistribution of value chains in the agribusiness sector, 4) growing influence of large companies and individual countries on the global agrifood system. The aim of the paper is to investigate the macroeconomic global and national challenges of agro-industrial development that affect the sustainable development of the sector. Based on these megatrends and using a dialectical method, the authors have considered the main global and national challenges in agricultural development. They highlighted the following: demographic growth and hunger; resource scarcity and the crisis of the AIS 3.0 model; ethical risks and limitations; natural and climatic changes; recycling, recycling and valorisation of waste; political instability; challenges of innovative development. It is shown that identification of the main challenges facing the development of domestic agribusiness sector is the primary basis for the formulation of strategic development objectives of the agrarian sector. The global challenges identified in the paper represent the basis for the development of economic policy in the agribusiness sector, including the Russian agrifood policy, the development of quality formal and informal rules and institutions that support the economic growth of the agribusiness sector, and also allow risk-oriented approaching to agricultural development in different territories.

The importance of public procurement for the strategic objectives of national socio-economic development

The involvement of the public authorities in socio-economic processes serves to achieve the objectives of the adopted policy of the State (or, respectively, the European Union). The state’s policy devised to foster socio-economic development is an instance of active state interventionism. In Polish legislation, this policy has been defined by the legislator as development policy. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that public procurement is an instrument for achieving the strategic objectives of the development policy, thus drawing on the concept of ‘strategic use of public procurement’: a particular notion of the role of public procurement in the context of the strategic approach to development. One of the premises here is that a specific public goal – whose achievement is desirable from the standpoint of public procurement law – should serve to achieve the strategic objectives of development policy law. The article underscores the instrumental (albeit crucial) nature of public procurement with respect to state policy. For the purposes of the study, it was assumed that failure to appreciate the essence of using public procurement in the pursuit of strategic development objectives will adversely affect the consistency of public objectives and, consequently, result in incoherent actions. In this context, the author assesses the provisions of the Public Procurement Law, which provides the grounds for the adoption of the national purchasing policy that emphasizes the relevance of linking public procurement with the achievement of state objectives. The article shows that the introduction of the obligation to prepare a state purchasing policy and linking this document with the system of strategic development planning confirms the strategic use of procurement, which should serve the implementation of important public interests.

ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКАЯ БЕЗОПАСНОСТЬ УЧАСТНИКОВ ЗАКУПОК. ИНТЕРЕСЫ, УГРОЗЫ, РЕШЕНИЯ

The article is devoted to research of existing model of the public procurement in terms of economic security. The author determines the key actors of the socio-economic system, identifies their vital economic interests, and reveals threats to the considered interests by results of the analysis. This made it possible to establish of a causal link between non-compliance by the group of procurement interests and the consequent rejection of competitive procurement, as well as a reduction in the effectiveness of strategic development objectives. The findings of the article confirm the need to take into account the assessment of existing threats to the interests of contract system’s entities, their ratio, and the current experience of procurement in reforming the contractual system.

Evaluating Public Transportation Local Funding Options

This report describes and evaluates 18 potential local funding options suitable for financing public transportation projects and services. They are evaluated according to eight criteria, including potential revenue, predictability and sustainability, horizontal and vertical equity, travel impacts, strategic development objectives, public acceptance and ease of implementation. This is a somewhat larger set of options and more detailed and systematic evaluation than most previous studies. This study discovered no new options that are particularly cost-effective and easy to implement; each has disadvantages and constraints. As a result, its overall conclusion is that a variety of funding options should be used to help finance the local share of public transit improvements to ensure stability and distribute costs broadly.

Current status and development strategy of ISO/TC 249 standards for Chinese materia medica

The internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is one of the strategic development objectives in China, which has been incorporated into the national strategy as an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative development strategy. As the basis and prerequisite of TCM development, Chinese materia medica(CMM) has a direct impact on the internationalization of TCM. The International Organization for Standardization(ISO) is a global organization composed of national standardization bodies, and the ISO standards impact the world's economy, trade, communication and cooperation. Based on a brief introduction to ISO/Traditional Chinese Medicine Technical Committee(ISO/TC 249), this study elaborates the necessity of establishing ISO standards for CMM and analyzes the current status and challenges faced by the formulation of international standards for CMM. Finally, this study puts forward the development strategy of international standards for CMM. Specifically, efforts should be made to develop top-level design with international market demands as the guidance and improve the quality of standards to accelerate the transformation of domestic high-quality standards into international standards. Moreover, measures should be taken to give full play to the positive role of enterprises in the formulation of standards, vigorously cultivate compound talents for international standardization of TCM, and constantly strengthen international cooperation. The experience and thinking are of guiding significance for the scientific, efficient and reasonable formulation of high-quality ISO standards for CMM in the future.

РАЗРАБОТКА МОДЕЛИ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННО-ЧАСТНОГО ПАРТНЕРСТВА ДЛЯ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ПРОЕКТОВ В АГРАРНОМ СЕКТОРЕ КРАСНОДАРСКОГО КРАЯ

The object of the study is public-private partnership as a mechanism for implementing investment projects. The relevance of the topic is due to the need and importance of developing a conceptual model for the implementation of investment projects for the development of the agricultural sector in the Krasnodar Territory. The development of this model is associated with the lack of systematization of the world experience in the implementation of such projects. The proposed model is part of the overall strategy for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Krasnodar Territory, focused on solving its strategic development objectives.

The hospital-substituting technologies: condition and strategic tasks of their development

The program of state guarantees of free medical care of citizens for 2019 and up to 2020-2021 plans to reduce volume of inpatient medical care through development of hospital-replacing technologies. The economic feasibility of hospital-replacing technologies is in significantly lower cost of medical services in a day hospital as compared with twenty-four hours hospital (UPC). However, the existing legislative framework and the lack of proactive financial mechanisms do not stimulate development of hospital-replacing technologies. The purpose of study is to analyze reporting data and results of SWOT analysis of rating of factors affecting introduction of day hospitals, On the basis of analysis the strategic objectives of development of hospital-replacing technologies are formed. The study applied statistical analysis, direct observation, sociological survey, SWOT analysis. The analysis was applied to data from forms of Federal statistical observation No. 14 and industrial statistical monitoring No. 14 for 2009-2018. Based on results of SWOT analysis, experts were interviewed by the heads of health care authorities and medical organizations regarding development of strategy of medical care of children with disabilities. The expert survey was carried out with health care managers in Moscow, the Moscow oblast, Orenburg, Chelyabinsk, Samara, Ivanovo, Ryazan oblasts and the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The analysis established that in 2018 the number of medical care organizations increased up to 6495, including medical institutions providing outpatient medical care (41.4%) and in-patient medical care (58.6 %). The analysis demonstrated that percentage of treated patients in day hospitals out of the total number of hospitalized patients (in hospitals was 29,1% in 2018, while in 2009 this percentage was significantly lower - 15,6%, which indicates the intensification of the use of the bed fund of the UPC, which to some extent is associated with increased development of hospital-replacing technologies. The results of SWOT analysis demonstrated that the strategic objectives of development of hospital-replacing technologies should be targeted to develop financial stability of health care, active position of the heads managers of health care institutions and medical organizations and introduction of innovations if needed. It is necessary to develop modern management methods, rational application of health care resources, implementation of economic incentives in all components of health care system, ensure functioning of the system, including effective contract.

EU Smart City Lighthouse Projects between Top-Down Strategies and Local Legitimation: The Case of Hamburg

The concept of the smart city has become increasingly popular in recent years and a large number of cities globally follow smart city strategies. By awarding subsidies in the Horizon 2020 programme, the European Union (EU) has taken on an influential role in how smart city projects are conceived and implemented in European municipalities. Using the example of the smart city pilot project mySMARTLife in Hamburg, the purpose of this article is to examine the area of tension between strategically pursuing own objectives and adjustment to external provisions of the EU funding framework. In a qualitative single case study, the article analyses what implications the project mySMARTLife has on urban development practice and local governance arrangements in Hamburg. Examining current literature on smart cities from the perspective of multi-level governance and presenting the current state of research dealing with EU smart city projects, a theoretical framework is developed. The analysis reveals that, due to the EU funding framework, precise project contents are contractually defined at an early stage when local stakeholders have limited involvement in this process. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the EU smart city funding in the project mySMARTLife is more limited to the implementation of individual interventions than to a comprehensive smart city strategy. As a result, this article considers EU-funded smart city initiatives as experimental fields that enable cities to gain experiences that can be incorporated into local strategic development objectives.

Statistics of interregional differences and the status of budgetary system of the Russian Federation

The purpose of the article is to assess the status and develop measures of state policy to overcome consistently interregional differences in the level and quality of life of the population based on promoting the independence of regional and local authorities of the Russian Federation. The applied purpose of the work is to determine the optimal values of the distribution of revenues of the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation at the levels of the budget system as a financial condition of the solvency of the subnational authorities. According to the provisions of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 07.05.2018 No. 204 “On National Goals and Strategic Objectives of Development of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2024” the range of issues is of critical importance, as it requires the inclusion of regional and local authorities in the implementation of national projects. Materials and methods. The article analyzes the changes in the level of interregional differences in the main indicators of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation for 2000, 2005 and 2016–2018. Based on the analysis of interregional differentiation by own and total revenues of their consolidated budgets, the changes in the level of financial independence of subnational authorities were assessed. As factors, hindering the development of regions with “self-reliance”, the state debt policy, the practice of inter-budget transfers, and the income structure of three-tier budget system of the country are analyzed. The methodological basis of the study is the work on regional statistics, structural analysis, quantitative modeling. Tabular and graphic methods of visualization of research results, statistical methods of processing of initial data were used. To solve the problems of the study, standard Microsoft application packages were used. Results. The article shows the excessive centralization at the Federal level of the main decisions that determine the fiscal and debt policy of regional and local authorities, the “explosive” growth in the volume of subnational debt for these years, as well as the “blurring” of inter-budget transfers from the Federal budget to the budgets of the Russian Federation regions. The debt policy of the state and inter-budgetary regulation are estimated as not fully corresponding to the tasks of spatial development of the country. A system solution for optimizing the structure of three-level budget system of the Russian Federation is proposed and a method for defining the optimal values of the distribution of revenues of the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation by levels of the budget system is presented. Conclusion. The high heterogeneity of Russia’s spatial development is one of the features of its economy. The article deals with the differentiation of Russian regions in terms of the level and quality of life of the population, analyzes the factors that led to this differentiation. State fiscal and debt policy, inter-budget transfer policy are the key factors in consistently solving the problems of overcoming interregional differences in the level and quality of life of the population, improving the competitiveness of the country, ensuring sustainable economic growth. Achieving the optimal structure of the budget system (as well as the movement to it) will create conditions not only for the inclusion of subnational authorities in the implementation of national projects, but also for the implementation of the diversity of the potential of its regions – a unique advantage of the Russian Federation.

Transport Safety Culture

Interrelationships within control and management mechanisms, including transport safety management, of the transport system are evaluated based on the function-oriented approach to its decomposition. Hierarchical system’s levels, strategic development objectives, societal, information, and environmental aspects are analyzed within safety context. Classification of threats to transport system and its subsystems (objects) is suggested. The authors place special emphasis on safety culture as on a social motivation pattern, designed to develop a proactive attitude to emerging threats and risks during transportation of passengers and cargo. They differentiate emotional, cognitive, and behavioural (conative) components of safety culture and suggest their brief description regarding transportation sector. The suggested framework of proactive culture makes it possible to model hierarchical systemic interconnection of its various components, providing for transport safety coupled with overall development of transport and transportation.
