Neo-Industrialization – Towards a ‘New Geometry’ of Economic Spatial Interactions

Abstract

The paper considers specific features of formation and development of organizational structures in the Russian economy, aimed both at achieving economic and technological sovereignty and at developing cooperation and interaction of complementary industries and spheres of economic activity. The most important features of the proposed approach include the consideration and development of interaction through the lens of spatial characteristics of the domestic economy. According to the authors, the Russian economy is characterized by an increasingly important role of the spatial factor in solving all the main tasks of socio-economic development. This is associated with significant distances of delivery and provision of goods and services, as well as with a high degree of spatial dispersion of individual stages and redistribution within the value chain (added value). Failure to take this circumstance into account in the process of ‘radical’ economic reforms over the past 30–35 years has led to the degradation of many industries and spheres of economic activity – the rupture or elimination of fragments of value chains (added value) created in the process of industrialization. The authors of the paper develop and detail the approach to the formation of sustainable value chains (added value), called ‘pulse projects’, developed by the IEIE. It is proposed to develop these projects on the basis of a combination of vertical integration processes of complementary stages and redistribution (located in different regions of the country). Such development is closely related to the building of horizontal interactions at individual stages of economic processes and technological redistribution. This approach allows, according to the authors, to ensure the formation and development of horizontal interactions in the context of implementing both the tasks of spatial development and achieving the priorities of scientific and technological policy
