Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the processes of interregional and intermunicipal governance in the context of the constitutional reform of the public power system in the Russian Federation. Trends of strategic and territorial development have been formulated, one of which is the need to develop uniform normatively and economically justified rules for strategizing for regions of various hierarchical levels, including the macroregions and urban agglomerations. The methodological basis of the study is based on the theoretical provisions of the strategic management, regional and spatial economics. This study of interregional and intermunicipal governance in the Russian Federation is based on a comprehensive analysis of existing strategic planning documents, as well as legislative acts by using a combination of methods: logical, dialectical, and causal. The article can be useful to scientists and researchers, experts, including state and municipal employees involved in the formation (development and updating), as well as the implementation and control over the implementation of the strategies for the socio-economic development of the territories and other interested persons.
