EDN: JORWOY
Abstract
The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to activate the inclusion of regions in the implementation of the goals of state programs and national projects based on the principles of fair competition.
The purpose of the article is to develop, within the framework of the concept of regional competitiveness, approaches to improving interregional cooperation, methods and mechanisms of state regulation that affect regional competitiveness in order to achieve the goals of competition development in the Russian Federation.
The objectives of the study included clarifying the current content of the main terms of the subject area of interregional cooperation from the point of view of ensuring the development of interregional competition; revealing the essence of interregional interaction at the current stage of socio-economic development for the subsequent development of recommendations for its improvement.
In obtaining the research results, systematic, statistical, comparative and content analysis and synthesis, methods of abstraction and analogy, observations and descriptions were used. Based on the analysis of a number of regulations and a review of scientific literature, the authors supplemented the conceptual foundations of interregional competitiveness: the concepts of "regional competitiveness", "interregional competition", and "competitive potential" were clarified and updated; the author's classification of levels of interregional competition was given, and the principles of interregional competition policy were formulated. The results obtained can be used to further improve competition support plans at various levels, from national to municipal, and also reveal the essence and serve as the basis for the development of methods, models and mechanisms of interregional competition.
