ALTERNATIVES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHERN RUSSIA IN THE CONDITIONS OF CHANGES OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

The issue of stable functioning and development of macroregional socio-economic systems in order to create the paradigm of effective management is rather important now, especially in the context of changing institutional environment. The stable functioning and development suppose simultaneous solution of different and to a large extent contradictive issues of economic growth keeping and increasing the social standard of living, primarily from the point of view of social problems solution.

North Caucasian and Southern Federal Districts have definite potential for effective functioning and development. However, by now, natural advantages are undeveloped as the Southern macroregion of Russia still does not have the investment attractiveness due to the unstable economic and socio-political situation. Search for solutions in this sphere concerns primarily governmental authorities and local-government authorities, as well as the state and private companies. The development of the effective methods and tools for evaluation of functioning and development stability allows to give accurate estimates to the level of stability that is rather essential managerial information source. SWOT-analysis based on the comparison of weak and strong spots of a macroregion, and the risks and opportunities of its development is one of such tools.
