While there is a great deal of literature on migration and labour integration in Europe, studies on Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) are scarce despite the sheer volume of migration in the region. This study aims to describe the issues of global labour integration and implications in the EAEU. The main research methods are the historical method and the method of analysis. The article provides a brief analysis of modern processes of labour integration around the world, analyses the experience of some associations in this area, and describes the processes of labour migration in the EAEU from multiple perspectives. The study will be useful for understanding trends in labour integration and migration in the EAEU and its member states.

The current social and political processes of Assam in terms of demographic aspect and frontier area policies cannot be seen to be a development in isolation from British colonial policies. The entire system is linked to a historical process of ownership and inheritance. The British entry into the North-Eastern region of India, at the end of the Anglo-Burmese war, marked the beginning of colonial penetration with the consequence of unanticipated transformation of socio-economic and demographic profile in the region. The profound commercial significance of Assam explored by British colonialism led to the development of the Brahmaputra valley into a new economic space. Accordingly, the colonialists consolidated political interventions through the construction of frontier policies that created a divide between ‘Hills’ and ‘Plains’. The policies of social and cultural subjugation, followed by the colonialists, brought the neighbouring hill tribes under colonial control, and the entire region was being turned into a politico-economic jurisdiction of colonial subjects. Such policies envisaged by the British with a commercial motive, however, anguished the ethnic strife- the existing social landscape, the economic space and the political set-up of the region. The current problem of foreigners’ issue and the frontier issue is, in fact, the continuation of the colonial traditions. An understanding of the colonial pattern of exploitation of resources through social and political control would provide an apprehension of the past causes and present effect relationship. Hence, this study attempts to understand the implications of the colonial era political developments in Assam considering its economic potentiality that has given a whole new dimension to the entire regional set-up.

Violent political conflict has been documented to have comprehensive adverse effects on economic activity and, thus, substantially harm social welfare. As conflict escalations are often reported to fragment economic space, we suggest an empirical framework which allows for estimating changes in the size of markets often split by frontlines. This approach uses a differentiated goods oligopoly model to separate effects of conflict intensity on consumer demand, costs of trade, market size, and market structure. We combine daily sales of apples in Hebron - one of the focal points of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict - and variables quantifying complementary aspects of conflict intensity. Conflict is found to suppress demand and affect competition more significantly than it increases costs of trading. Simulations indicate a 15% reduction in total daily consumption during conflict of high intensity while a pacification would yield a 20% welfare gain. This empirical framework allows disentangling the effects of conflict on food markets. The results suggest that relief policies should consider alleviating effects of fragmentation of economic space, e.g., by ensuring humanitarian corridor

The article is devoted to the analysis and improvement of the regional management theoretical concept. Author’s proposals were elaborated taking into account the need of providing the sustainable development of the region. Modern directions of formation of the global world economic, information, financial space define fundamentally new tasks for the formation and development of forms and methods of management of regional systems. These circumstances required elaborating and implementation of the innovative forms, methods and tools for regional development, as well as improvement of regional management organization and technologies, transformation of the state regional policy. The basic definitions of regional management as the regional system, regional policy, the region's self-development, sustainable development of the region were clarified and complemented at the article. The role and place of the region in the national economic space were substaintiated. It was determined, that the most important of the theoretical and practical part of the regional management is strategic planning. The main components, stages, elements, forms of strategic planning, as well as specialized legislative acts that regulate the activities of regional authorities on strategic planning were presented. The main tendencies and shortcomings of the strategic planning’s practice of at the regional level were determined. The necessity to consider the strategy of regional sustainable development as a complex of interconnected independent components was substantiated. It consist the concept of development, a macro model of the development strategy and complex target strategies., Статья посвящена анализу и совершенствованию теоретического концепта регионального менеджмента с позиций обеспечения устойчивого развития региона.

The significant imbalances in the economic space of a region, particularly between the centre and the periphery, present a serious challenge for economists, politicians and policy makers. Which measures are to be taken to remedy this situation? What should they be aimed at? These are the main questions to be addressed by the researchers and the government. To develop a competent policy it is essential to understand the dynamics of intra-regional variations in a long-time period. This article seeks to describe the trends in the centre-periphery polarization dynamics of a Russian region by analyzing the indicators of socio-economic development of its constituent municipalities. In their calculations the authors used the coefficient of centre-periphery variation and the methods of statistical analysis. The comparative analysis of the contribution made by peripheral and central municipalities to the key socio-economic indicators of the region in the period of 2008-2015 has shown that there is a growing centre-periphery polarization within Sverdlovsk region. The authors calculated the coefficient of centre-periphery variation for specific municipalities and the periphery in general by using the average volume indices of the retail turnover, investments in the main capital, new housing supply, the turnover of organizations and average monthly salary. The dynamics of this coefficient and that of the GRP in the given period demonstrates that while the centre-periphery gap is narrowed during the recession, it widens when the economic situation stabilizes. The scientific novelty of this research is achieved through identifying the main trends in the centre-periphery polarization within Sverdlovsk region at various stages of its socio-economic development. These research results can be applied to develop a regional policy aimed at reducing the centre-periphery differences and polarization of the regional economic space.

The author classified approaches to the study of concepts such as “economic space”, “information space”, “economic process”, “information process”, “information technology”, “information flow”, “information system”. It clarifies the conceptual apparatus of research information and economic space. The characteristics that allow information and economic space to be identified as a separate phenomenon are presented. The features of information and economic space and its components are described. The defining role of information technology in the development of information and economic space is shown. The author proves that the content of information and the economic process and the flow of information are the key characteristics and economic space. The author’s classification of information systems necessary for the implementation of information and economic process is presented. Based on the study it is shown that information and economic space has a number of properties, namely, catalyzing of processes of tangible and intangible production, distribution, exchange and consumption based on the satisfaction of constantly growing information needs; the introduction of information into economic processes resulting in a significant increase of their efficiency without significant additional capital investments; introduction of economic processes in information that enhance their development by increasing financial, economic, investment and other interests of parties involved, and others. The basic components of information and economic space are infrastructure; resources; means of information exchange; and economic mechanisms. The aim of the development of information and economic space is to create conditions and mechanisms for including information in the process of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods or services by means of transforming it into an informa

This paper presents the results of the research dedicated to the role of space in the modernization of the economy of the North-West macro-region of Russia conducted in 2012-2014, within the framework of the Presidium of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) No31 "The role of space in the modernization of Russia: natural and socio-economic potential." The analysis is based on the methodology, which was developed at the Institute of Regional Economy of RAS. Possibilities of modernization of the Russian economy are due to competitive advantages, "inherited characteristics" and public policy of regions and major macro-regions development. Recourses of modernization have a spatial component, which significantly affects the positioning of the region, its companies, firms and projects in the globalized geo-economic space. It is noted that the characteristics of multi-factor situation, taking into account the "inherited characteristics" of spatial development, the nature of geopolitical and geo-economic situation, transformation of the socio-economic area, evaluation the role of internal and external factors, including the impact of globalization and the state regional policy, as well as assessment of the role of internal spatial inversion of macro-region and innovation potential of regional development mostly define the corridors for modernization of the economy of the regions. It is found that four groups of factors highlighted in this study allow to take into account the wide range of opportunities and constraints for the modernization of the economy of the North-West macro region. On the basis of interdisciplinary synthesis within the geospatial paradigms, taking into account the developments of domestic economists-regionalists, economic geographers and western views in the framework of the space science, the idea of A. I. Tatarkin about "new sources of territorial competitiveness" was confirmed, by the example of a model region of the North-West of Russia. Thus, in the st, Изложены результаты исследования роли пространства в модернизации экономики Северо-Западного макрорегиона России. Выявлены характерные для России пространственные возможности и ограничения модернизации экономики. Представлена роль внешних и внутренних факторов в пространственной модернизации.

In this thesis I use the text Mythic, Aesthetic and Theoretical space by Ernst Cassirer to reflect on the Tycho Brahe Museum, Ven. Questions asked, are if conflicting spaces can be seen at the site and if one space can subjugate another. It is also discussed if there exist other spaces than mythic, aesthetic and theoretical. The thesis begins with a short reflection on the definition of the concept of space. The definition of mythic, aesthetic and theoretical space by Cassirer is discussed. The site of the museum is described by going through the layers of sediment that it consists of, and which spatial parts it can be divided into at present. The features of the museum are discussed in context of Cassirer´s text. How the area once was constructed and destructed is discussed and how it today is reconstructed. It is discussed how it is reconstructed into a marked site and a space the influences of simulacra. The impact of duality in nationality as well as that of gender is reflected upon. An alternative space, economic space is suggested. The space of economy moving into the museum and the economic space in form of a heterothopia, the fair in relation to the museum is discussed. It is also suggested that spaces not only can challenge each other, fuse even subjugate one another but also fuse.

Анализируя различные подходы к трактовке содержания региональной экономической системы, автор приходит к заключению, что система региона пребывает в процессе развития. Входящие в ее состав структурные элементы органически связаны между собой устойчивыми интегральными связями. Система обладает субъектностью, то есть способностью к саморегулированию своих внутренних процессов, согласованию внешних взаимодействий и саморазвитию. Системное качество региональной пространственной системы отличает ее от всех иных территориальных системных образований, специфицирует ее и задает способ и направление ее развития., Analyzing different approaches to understanding of the regional economic system the author comes to a conclusion that the regional system is in the process of development. Its structural elements are organically connected with each other by means of stable integral binds. The system is characterized by subjectness that is ability to self-regulate its integral processes, coordinate interrelations and to develop itself. The system quality of the regional space system makes it different from other territorial systems, specifies it and sets the ways and directions of its development.

© 2018 International Strategic Management Association. All rights reserved. The paper presents a toolkit for regional modernization processes evaluation. A regression model derived allows for identification of the key factors that determine interrelation between regional development parameters. The model application to the case of Tyumen region indicated a high extent of stability of spatial interaction patterns and a high degree of conservatism in the economy's structure due to the key role played by labor among other factors of output. The model showed that the region's industrial component is highly dependent on the demographic factor, which means low innovation potential. Policy implication of the model provides a measure for necessary public interventions in innovation segment to compensate for the increasing innovation gap. The interventions include incentives and stimuli to speed-up regional innovation dynamics, as well as the development strategy revision to introduce spatial economics concept, to prioritize modernization and to change traditional patterns of social and economic development.
