Multifactorial Challenges Associated with the Development of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation

The presented study examines the multifactorial challenges associated with the development and management of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.
Aim. The study aims to prioritize the studies of the Russian Arctic in the context of the multifactorial challenges and problems associated with the development of this territory.
Tasks. The authors emphasize the practical relevance and scientific importance of examining the processes of socio-economic development and management of the Arctic zone, substantiate the fundamental nature of problems in its socio-economic development, and formulate the problems and challenges associated with the scientific support for the management of Arctic zone development.
Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition to examine in various aspects, structurize, and generalize the challenges and problems associated with the socio-economic development of the territory.
Results. The importance of addressing the problems of development of the Russian Arctic is determined by the strategic importance of resources in this territory for the national economy and by several unresolved fundamental issues associated with the development of this territory. The problem of socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic cannot be solved without providing scientific support for management processes. The authors emphasize the timeliness of formation of a new theory on the development and management of the Russian Arctic as a new scientific basis for the understanding of socio-economic processes in this vital and at the same time highly problematic feld.
Conclusions. Examination of the socio-economic development and management processes in
the Russian Arctic substantiates the need to specify the theoretical framework of these processes. Solving this problem requires concerted efforts of highly qualified professionals as well as knowledge of the current state of Arctic territories and experience in coordinating scientific concepts with regional and municipal management goals, which urges a wide range of specialists to participate in the studies.
