Territorial and Political Order in Russia and Problems of Economic Organization: Key Lessons of the Soviet Era. Article Three (Part I)

Abstract

This study examines the nature of territorial and political order in Russia. Despite the fact that issues of spatial organization in Russia have been examined for many centuries, this is not a paper about its history. Instead, this paper focuses on the forms of territorial management in economics and politics examined in various historical contexts. It is impossible to understand contemporary Russian practices of governmental territorial management without analyzing historical analogs. Aim. This study aims to analyze the prerequisites for the formation of territorial and political order in Russia by invoking a theoretical understanding of territorial regulation as an interdisciplinary phenomenon and process. Tasks. This study determines key methods for the scientific analysis of regional management practices and identifies historical analogs of certain modern approaches. Methods. This study uses general methods of scientific cognition and scientific practices of economic history to examine the principles of analysis of a country’s territorial and political order and adequate approaches to economic management. Results. The study demonstrates that the restructuring of the Russian economy is an objective process with wide geographical and historical boundaries. Examining past experiences provides an opportunity to avoid repeating the same mistakes and to predict future trends in the development of spatial organization of the economy.
