CONSOLIDATION OF THE EUROPEAN NORTH REGIONS AS AN IMPORTANT CONDITION FOR THE ARCTIC DEVELOPMENT
The realization of the Arctic strategy in Russia will depend to a great extent on the stability of the countrys internal development and, in the first place, on the efficiency level of the state social and regional policy and on the potential of the regions lying in the prepolar zone being successfully realized. The problem of coordinating the efforts of the Northern subjects of the Russian Federation at a new stage of the Arctic development would be solved more successfully providing either the Northern federal district were formed within the bounds of the Northern economic region or the region were integrated under a conditional name of the Dvino-Pechorsky territory.
