Organization of systemic monitoring of the macroregions’ development: Case study of the Russian Arctic

Abstract

In connection with targeted distinguishing of the territories expanding beyond the borders of one or more federal subjects as objects for state regulation, the concept of a macroregion is clarified. The specific features of a macroregion as a holistic object of statistical observation and monitoring are demonstrated using specific examples. Multiple regulatory acts governing the organization of state monitoring are analyzed. A case study of Russia’s Arctic zone is used to discuss the tasks and substantiate recommendations for organization of systemic monitoring of the macroregions’ current state and development.
