Subject. This article focuses on the problems of regulatory and legal support for the policy of ensuring the deep modernization of domestic oil refining. Objectives. The study aims to assess the applicability of Russia's Energy Strategy for the implementation of domestic oil refining deep modernization. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of comparative analysis and generalization of information from the Russian Federation State authorities. Results. The article reveals that at this stage the Energy Strategy is not yet able to act as an effective component of the strategic planning system for the implementation of structural modernization of the Russian oil refining. Conclusions. It is necessary to review the relationship of the Energy Strategy with other components of the strategic planning system at the federal level, and documents on the development of oil refining within the framework of all subjects of the State.
Subject. This article focuses on the problems and promising directions of Russia's international energy cooperation in the field of pipeline oil transportation. Objectives. The study aims to identify the key problems of the Russian mainline pipeline transport system functioning in the context of international energy cooperation. Methods. For the study, I used methods of systematization, comparative analysis, computational interpretation of statistical indicators and scenario modeling with the allocation of inertial, basic and accelerated development options. Results. The article reveals that the most promising area of Russia's international cooperation in the field of pipeline oil transportation is phased cooperation with China and India. Conclusions. The proposed conclusions can be useful in developing a strategy for the pipeline transport development, Russia's foreign economic policy in the energy sector, and the system for assessing infrastructure risks of international oil pipeline projects.
Subject. This article discusses the ways of developing the Eurasian Economic Union as a supranational association of states in modern geopolitical and economic conditions. Objectives. The study aims to analyze the problems and prospects of development of the Eurasian Economic Union, BRICS and the European Union in the interests of finding the most effective ways of development of the EAEU. Methods. For the study, we used methods of statistical forecasting, comparative analysis and graphical display of information using the I. Adizes life cycle model. Results. The article reveals the prospects and problems of the European Union, BRICS, and EAEU development. Conclusions. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of using them in the formation of plans and programs for the strategic development of the Eurasian Economic Union, taking into account the experience of leading supranational associations of states at various stages of their life cycles.
Subject. This article focuses on the investment and financial mechanism of the Russian rural development from the standpoint of the institutional approach and the theory of transaction costs. Objectives. The study aims to investigate the institutional conditions for the implementation of the investment and financial development mechanism for the of rural areas in Russia. It also aims to develop a five-level model focused on the sustainable spatial development of the country. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of comparative institutional analysis, statistical data analysis, content analysis, and comparative analysis of international experience. Results. The article reveals that the underfunding of the integrated rural development program is due to institutional insufficiency. It also identifies significant regional differentiation, requiring a system of differentiated tools, and proposes a five-level model of the investment and financial mechanism for the development of the Russian rural areas. Conclusions. Overcoming the institutional insufficiency of rural development is a prerequisite for the implementation of strategic national priorities. The implementation of the package of measures will significantly increase the total amount of financing for rural development in Russia.
Subject. This article discusses the international and BRICS+ countries platform-based digital tools for integrating geological data. Objectives. The study aims to characterize the available modern platform solutions, and propose the structure of the BRICS+ geological platform. Methods. For the study, we used methods of description, system analysis and comparative characteristics. Results. The article reveals that the BRICS+ geological platform is a special platform for interaction between countries with different jurisdictional and infrastructural solutions. It also shows that this topic requires further study to attract investment and increase national wealth. Conclusions. Further interdisciplinary analysis of the various contours of the of the BRICS+ geological platform development is necessary.
