Study of the state and problems of industrial development in the Russian Arctic in the context of the concept of sustainable development

Vetrova E.N.

The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is a strategically important region, both in terms of its contribution to the country’s economy and from the point of view of state security of the northern borders. The Arctic concentrates a significant amount of strategic resources necessary to ensure the development of various sectors of the economy, in particular, industry and the Northern Sea Route. At the same time, the development of the territory must comply not only with economic efficiency, but also with compliance with environmental and social standards, i.e., in the context of sustainable development. Industrial activity in the Arctic regions has its own characteristics due to its uniqueness and specificity, therefore an important area of research is the search for ways to improve the efficiency of managing the process of its development and its potential. In this study, the author makes an attempt to assess the current state of industrial development in the Arctic precisely from the perspective of the concept of sustainable development. For this purpose, the economic, environmental and social indicators of the development of the economy of the Russian Arctic in dynamics were assessed, the polar index was analyzed, and conclusions were formulated about the presence of positive changes and problem areas. The object of the study is the economic activity of enterprises in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, mainly industrial ones. The purpose of the study is to study the state and problems in the development of industry in the Russian Arctic in the context of the concept of sustainable development. The assessment of sustainable development is based on the search for a reasonable balance between environmental, social and economic aspects in the development of enterprises, industries and territories. The study was carried out using the scientific and methodological foundations of the science of economics and management, including general methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as methods of strategic management, statistical information processing, justification of management decisions, expert assessments and visualization. The information base for the study was the scientific works of Russian and foreign scientists in the subject area, data from Russian statistics, rating agencies, expert opinions and the author’s own desk research.
