Evolution of economic management mechanisms in the Russian Arctic: the present stage

Introduction: the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is a territory of major economic and geostrategic importance for the country. The growth of conflict potential in the region is accompanied by the rising importance of control over the Arctic space, which is completely impossible without overcoming its extreme economic sparseness, negative depopulation processes, as well as ensuring connectivity through the development of infrastructure projects. In conditions of economic instability, these tasks become an urgent challenge for government bodies requiring a critical analysis of regulating the Arctic macro-region spatial development.
