The article considers a set of methodological and expert proposals used in the regulatory practice of the Russian Far East development within various theoretical and practical frameworks. During the post-socialist period these were combined variations focused on the tools of diffusion and central place models, as well as gravitational and technological models. However, despite a large number of developed theoretical ideas, transferring their interpretations into regional policy did not lead to a signifi activation of the substantial shifts in the economy predicted for each model. The article analyzes the institutional reasons for the low sensitivity of the Far Eastern region's economy to the planned positive transformations. The possibility of using a modifi approach to the traditional combinatorial model in Russian spatial science is considered. The author formulates the potential direction of strengthening specialized institutional formats as a mechanism for improving project effi and reducing regulatory risks.

This material presents an overview of reports and speeches of participants of the round table «Socio-economic development of the Russian Far East: priorities, mechanisms, achievements - the regional platform ( the Khabarovsk Territory) of the VII International Moscow Academic Economic Forum MAEF-2025. The results of discussion of modern regulation ensuring the development of the Far-Eastern region of Russia are shown, management tasks arising in practical activities and the expert proposals for their solution are considered.

The study of transformation processes in the national and global economy and the scientifi forecasting of the methods used to organize a new economic system constitutes a signifi part of modern research practice. Its special segment is the formation of substantiated ideas about the forms, methods and mechanisms of interaction between agents of the economic system, the transmission of shock and positive impulses in it that affect the change in the characteristics of activity. One of the complex objects for the study of systematic transformations and creating forecast tracks are processes that do not have an obvious cause-and-effect nature. In particular, this is the implementation of the institutional transition from macroeconomic goal-setting to the forms of its spatial implementation. At the same time, there is a need to take into account a large number of sector-specifi fi infrastructural and technological risks that create restrictions in the transformational development. This leads to the need to form an institutional architecture corresponding to the integral risk profi The paper examines the hypothesis of the existence of a special type of institutional structures that coordinate risk profi characteristic of real economic structures and those being formed for the future.

The current stage of economic development introduces signifi additions and changes to traditional interpretations of scientifi and practical problems. They are generated due to internal economic and external structural and dynamic restructuring, changes in the strategy and tactics of the functioning of economic agents, and geopolitical transformations. The ongoing processes affect the entire national and international system. However, to the greatest extent they infl the spatial structures in which complexes of responses to ongoing changes are focused. For the Russian economy, one of such fl territorial entities in terms of sensitivity is the Far Eastern region. On the one hand, for many years it has been carrying out an active national process of economic development stimulating, carried out in a politically formulated long-term version, which is associated with active investment and institutional processes. On the other hand, it performs the functions of representing Russia’s interests in the implementation of cooperation with the Asian states that have historically had different orientations regarding potential partnerships. Thirdly, this is a region that is socially complex in terms of the tasks of forming and consolidating a permanent population, and the formation of labor potential here suffifor economic development. Each of these functions, in conditions of increasing volatility, requires strengthening the quality of potential risk assessments and improving directions for minimizing their impact. The article examines the genesis of institutional engineering for the Far-Eastern region in 1967-2000, the emergence of technologies for forming the risk profi of ongoing transformations, and potential directions for its implementation.

This review material presents information about the scientifi and practical conference «Economic of the Russian Far East in the context of global transformations», which took place in Khabarovsk on November 9-10, 2023.A review of reports and speeches on the current problems of development of the Russian Far East and its scientifi support was made.

Options for development of transmission mechanisms and the institutions that ensure interaction of the spatially limited economic systems under the conditions of external parameters changing of functioning are studied. Potential possibilities of the complexly organized systems of interaction building are shown. Methodological tasks are formulated for applying the theory of economic risks and the theory of catastrophes to the formal aspects of institutional organization of interaction of the local structures. The need to complicate the assessment of regional risks in the context of potential changes in the relationship between the Russian Far East and neighboring countries is determined.

The development of the Russian Far East region in the last decade was closely connected with the implementation of the program of Russia's integration into the Asia-Pacific

The modern development of the Far-Eastern region of Russia is closely related to the priority of accelerated solution of this problem for the national economy and the consistent implementation on this basis of the program of Russia's integration into the APR, economic «advance to the East». In 2013–2021, a significant number of governmental, sector and regional programs were devoted to the implementation of these tasks. However, the ongoing industrial, social, infrastructural and institutional transformations in the Far East have shown the difficulties of restructuring in traditional directions and the need to initiate new solutions. Some of them are determined by the support for fundamental changes in the future strategies of the world economic process, active restructuring of the economies of the North-Eastern Asia countries, including introducing “carbon regulation” as one of the imperatives of development. The latter are of a forced adaptive nature to the changing conditions of economic activity in the post-pandemic world, stimulating a number of spheres of interstate interaction, and limiting others. Still others are focused on the active proposal by Russia to the APR countries of new partnership opportunities through the implementation of high-cost infrastructure projects that create impulses for Russia's international cooperation (development of the railways of the Eastern range and the Northern sea route). At present, in each of the promising areas of development of the regional economy, landmarks have been outlined that make it possible to predict the effective results of their implementation. However, at the same time, these projects generate new risks that can hinder the achievement of the set goals. Their identification and accounting should be considered as an essential component of medium-term forecasting.

Formation in the Far East of the USSR in the 1970th of a large new center of the National Academy of Sciences created the preconditions for activating the processes of intellectual support and scientific support for the development of this territory. Of great importance for solving the applied regional problems was organization of a specialized Institute of Economic Research, which adopted as a program of activities, on the one hand, preparation of theoretical and methodological tools for the analysis and forecasting of spatial processes, and, on the other hand, the use of academic developments for solving national economic problems. For 50 years, practically in all strategic projects of regional development, ERI FEB RAS was one of the active participants. At the same time, it became an authoritative participant in international research carried out by scientific and expert organizations in the North-Eastern Asia countries and the Asia Pacific. Reputation of the established scientific school of spatial studies as one of the leading in the country has determined the Institute's key role in consolidating the scientific potential of the Far East and in increasing its effectiveness. At the same time, ERI FEB RAS has taken a leading position in training the highly qualified specialists for the region who works in academic, industrial and university science, state and municipal authorities, and large business structures. Recognition of the task of developing the Far East as a national priority of Russia for the long term gives a new impetus to the development of research in the region, expanding the possibilities for implementing the ideas of scientific school that has developed in the ERI FEB RAS, and improving the processes of modeling, forecasting and strategic management of the economy.

The article examines the main directions of shifts in the development programs of the national economies of China and Russia that occurred during the global crisis of 2020-2021. The authors evaluate the new institutional trends that determine the direction of development in the medium term, their impact on the potential for enhancing promising interaction between the countries. Based on the analysis of the new architecture of macroeconomic institutions, the segments for strengthening the strategic partnership between Russia and China are identified, as well as possible difficulties and risks of mismatch in the process of implementing the promising joint development programs that accompany the processes of internal institutional reforms.

Integration projects carried out in the Asia-Pacific region with the participation of Russia were evaluated from the perspective of formation of multilevel sustainable relationships with the major economic partners. Structural disproportionality between the individual segments is shown, caused by the lag of integration of local structures with the government programs, which is primarily observed in the political segment, where the activity of contacts at the highest political level is not accompanied by an adequate strengthening of cooperation between the regional and municipal authorities. In turn, this is reflected in economic practices, where the contacts of global Russian firms with the foreign partners (primarily in the extraction and supply of energy resources) give weak impulses to the development of small and medium-sized businesses cooperation. It is proposed to expand the use of interaction mechanisms at subnational levels (regional and municipal) as a tool used for the further development of programs for incorporating Russia into the Asia-Pacific region.

In the modern conditions, the role and importance of bilateral relations between Russia and China is rapidly increasing, therefore, the search for new, effective solutions in this area is necessary. Particular attention is attracted to the improvement in the perspective of cooperation between the border areas. The experience gained over the decades (both positive and negative) makes it possible to intensify the existing tools of interregional economic interaction, as well as to form the new institutional approaches. Directions for the future development of relations between the Russian Far East and the Northeastern China, which are being developed and discussed, are not only aimed at solving the local development problems, but also to a large extent contain the answers to the expected macroeconomic risks associated with changes in the future characteristics of the development of both countries. Expanding the range of programs of interregional cooperation the author gives grounds for the joint search and implementation of the mutually beneficial projects.

The interrelations between integration processes and the transformation of financial institutions and instruments in the APR are considered. The genesis of financial inter-actions in the APR in the period after the Asian crisis of 1997 is analyzed. The pro-grams for improving the instrumental component of interstate financial cooperation have been singled out. The dynamic reactions and adjustments to the organizational forms of the financial system under the integration trends changing are shown. A spe-cial role of the program of China's enlargement of the Yuan zone is highlighted as a factor in the implementation of new integration projects. The potential options for the financial system development in the APR have been assessed in connection with the implementation of the main medium-term integration scenarios in the region.

The article is devoted to discussions on current economic topics held within the framework of the Japan-Russia Economic Symposium of scientists of the Russian Far East and the Kansai region (Japan). It has been held annually since 1984 and is an authoritative scientific platform for discussing the most important problems of the development of national economies of Russia and Japan and organizing their effective cooperation. The main topics included in the program of the 33rd symposium held in Khabarovsk in September 2017 are considered. The positions of the participants in the discussion are set out, firstly, by assessing the results achieved in the development of relations between Russia and Japan, secondly, on options for increasing the effectiveness of interaction, and thirdly, in determining the most important research tasks related to the implementation of joint Russian-Japanese economic projects, and fourthly, to manage interregional migration.

The main stages of work on formation of a strategic plan for devel-opment of the Khabarovsk Territory for the period until 2030 are con-sidered in the article. The scenario method for reviewing and adjusting the projects of regional strategic development is generalized. The role of the expert community, public organizations and the population in nominating, selecting and working out the main ideas of regional de-velopment for the future is shown. The detailed description of the ac-cumulated experience of multilevel coordination of strategic landmarks for the regional economic system, the formation of a set of goals and tasks, and the definition of a tool for strategic economic policy are giv-en. The main objectives of the strategic development of Khabarovsk Territory for the period up to 2030 with the quantitative parameters characterizing them and the methods of phased achievement of the tar-get strategic indicators are described.

A feature of the current state of the Russian economic sys-tem transformation is the new mechanisms for coordinating the positions of the main interacting actors’ introduction into the practice for the authorities, business, and civil society. Having gone through a multi-stage procedure for finding the tools for this, the modern institutional system singled out as an effective practice a preliminary assessment of the regulatory impact of management decisions.; Special attention we devote to the implementation of this approach at the local level, since the economic entities’ sensitivi-ty to the changes in regional and municipal regulatory legal acts and regulations is very high.; The article has comments on a set of ideas on the application of the assessment procedure and its improvement expressed by rep-resentatives of the legislative and executive authorities, the busi-ness community, academic and high school science at a special meeting of the Public Council at the Ministry of Economic De-velopment of the Khabarovsk territory. The effectiveness of such platform using for accumulating expert proposals and preparing them for implementation in the regional economic policy is shown.

This paper investigates the regional differentiation of the consumer credit market, its dependence on the local characteristics of the income of the population. It estimated position of FEFD and its subregions among the federal districts and subjects of the Russian Federation. Quantitative relationship between the levels of regional development and characteristics of credit behavior of the localized population in the territory are analyzed. The dynamic characteristics analysis of the population’s loan debt in 2010 – 2015 was provided. It has been argued that the regional differentiation of volume and equity indices of two extreme decile groups of the regions - ten leaders and ten outsiders - is extremely high and has a tendency to expand. Furthermore, it is shown that the most favorable economic conditions of dynamic changes occur in the regions with the small volume indicators, and during a crisis - on the contrary, in the largest. The position of FEFD and its subregions among the federal districts and subjects of the Russian Federation was estimated.

The article provides a comparative analysis of integration projects in the Asia-Pacific region, put forward in the post-crisis period of XXI century: "Trans-Pacific Partnership" (USA), "The economic zone of the Silk Road" (China), "Eurasian Initiative" (South Korea). The potential and the attractiveness of the probability of each of the projects in the medium term, the potential scenarios discussed Russia's participation in the integration of new entities is evaluated.

The article discusses the variant of macroeconomic reforms initiated by the Prime Minister Abe, implemented in Japan in 2013. The domestic economic and integration consequences of the "Abenomics" are considered in the article. We evaluate the outcomes and the possible transformation of the economic system of the country and its impact on the situation in the Asia-Pacific region. Thus, we can assume that some success thanks to Abenomics the Abe government has been achieved, but this is just the first step for the country's economy way out of stagnation and achieve the ambitious goal to return Japan to the forefront in the global economy. Interception of regional leadership in the Asia-Pacific region has not yet succeeded. It is obvious that in the new version of “flying geese" Japan has little chance of becoming a leader.
