Territorial-economic processes and relations (theory and its practical application)

Territorial-economic processes are considered within the framework of the theory of regional organization of the productive forces of society and the formation of territorial-production complexes. The importance of socio-economic structures, which are represented differently in different parts of the country and taken into account in regional policy, is demonstrated. Economic relations are a mechanism for territorial development, regulated by laws and other regulations. Various circumstances play a significant role, sometimes dramatically altering the concept of the spatial configuration of the national economy. The parties to economic relations regarding territorial development are federal and regional government bodies, local governments, and enterprises. The four lines of interaction are revealed: center–region, region–municipality, region–region, and region–enterprise. The primary instrument for regulating these relationships is contracts, including subcontracts and subcontracting. The contractual form of cooperation corresponds to the need for mutual coordination between large, medium and small businesses, as well as the need to “adapt” the location of production to the population settlement system.
