| description | Nowadays the focus of regional studies shifts from the problems of the peripheral development to the study of the process of its emergence, expressed in the term “peripheralization”. The differences of the regions, the exhaustion of traditional sources of economic growth actualize the task of such works in relation to Russia. The purpose of the study is to identify peripheralization of Russian economic space using modern foreign approaches to the study of this phenomenon. The center-periphery theory, the theory of peripheral economics, as well as the results of the Russian and foreign scientists dealing with the problem of peripherization have been used as a theoretical basis of the work. The original method for the assessment of the peripherization of the Russian economic community developed by the author is based on the method of calculating the coefficient of peripherization by J. Eder. Empirically the research is based on the data accepted from the Federal State Statistic Service of Russia. The current approaches to the investigation of the concepts “periphery”, “peripherality”, “peripheralization” and their main restrictions are described in the article. The author comes to the conclusion, that the concept “periphery” is applied to territories or spaces with certain characteristics; the term “peripherality” is used as a combination of these properties, and “peripheralization” means a process of appearance, or “production” of peripheries. The author has adapted the method of calculating a peripheralization index, proposed by J. Eder using the specifications of the domestic data base. The testing of the improved method in the case study of Russia has revealed the peripheralization of a significant part of the country. It has been revealed that 54 out of 83 regions of Russia investigated in the research are characterized by a combination of centralization and peripheralization processes. Meanwhile, only 24 regions are characterized by peripheralization in all three investigated aspects (geographic, demographic and economic), whereas economic peripheralization is typical for 49 regions, demographic – for 51 regions and geographic – for 59 regions of the Russian Federation. Most regions are characterized by peripheraliztion in two spheres. Further research on this topic will be connected with the clarification of the content “peripheralization” within the frameworks of the Russian conventional regional science, as well as with the improvement and/or development of appropriate methodological approaches, the allocation of factors, that determine the peripheralization of territories of different levels. |
