Abstract

The aim of this work is to develop theoretical foundations for the reindustrialization of the mining region in the context of trends in the spatial development of the Russian economy. The urgency of the problem is caused by the deepening of regional development unevenness, differentiation of regions by structural, resource and institutional parametric characteristics. As a result, the imperative of spatial development of the Russian economy is a consistent modernization of the regional organization of the economy on the basis of the reindustrialization policy. In the macroeconomic context, globalization is associated with overcoming stagnation consequences and entering the trajectory of sustainable innovative growth, stagnation and development mainly in the scenario; in the mesoeconomic context it is associated with accelerated capitalization of the competitive advantages of each region. The exhaustion of the predominantly export-raw material model of economic growth has put Kuzbass – the mining region of Western Siberia, which is heavily dependent on the state of the world market of fuel and energy resources in the most difficult situation. The task of the accelerated transition to the innovative-resource type of development through structural and technological transformation in the context of the General course of neoindustrialization for the region is actualized. This article presents a theoretical justification of the necessity, possibility and feasibility of neoindustrialization of the mining region in the context of globalization.
