The authors analyze the problem and the perspectives of development of public administration and regional management in the modern Russian conditions and outline the paths of their improvement. Also, the results of the research of the institutional environment of innovative development of state management and regional management are presented, and the perspectives of the system of a multicultural region in the context of social development management are outlined. The author strives to prove that development of public administration in Russia is predetermined by the traditional institutes of management and organization of life, which are peculiar to totalitarianism, bureaucracy, principles of redistributive economy, domination of the institute of public authorities, and underdevelopment of the civil society’s institutes. The authors of the book analyze the problems and perspectives of development and modernization of the system of public administration and regional management in the modern Russian conditions—primarily, within the institutional and neo-institutional methodologies. The authors see modernization of the national model of state management in well-balanced interaction of the basic and complementary sociocultural institutes which could increase the effectiveness of managing the complex social processes. The authors try to show that there could be a strategy of overcoming the negative effects of path dependence due to the requirements of modernization of the national system of state management. The presented scientific results are based on the institutional economic and social theory, and the problems of state and regional management are substantiated and could be measured qualitatively, with determination of precise perspectives of their solution. Simultaneous consideration of the social and cultural problems that are faced by public authorities and local administrations allows for full and correct description of the context of the management and offers the effective practical recommendations for its improvement. This is especially important in the conditions of depletion of the v [email protected] vi Introduction resource model of development and growth of the crisis phenomena in regions’ life. In these conditions, social security of the Russian society is characterized by the consolidation of the all-Russian space, in which the negative factors of inter-regional differentiation are at work. Description of the ways of improvement of state policy in the sphere of higher education emphasizes its central role in solving the problems of state management and regional management in the context of the global and local challenges of the sociocultural environment. These phenomena are caused by the fact that the main trends of education and science are oriented at the global tendencies, but their implementation is determined by the sociocultural specifics of evolution of the corresponding social institutes. High potential and readiness of universities for innovative activities, based on the principles of the digital economy, are often blocked by the existing socioeconomic conditions and traditions of management of the system of education and science. These and many other issues are studied by the authors of this book. We hope that the presented materials will allow solving the applied socioeconomic problems. That is why the conclusions and recommendations of the authors could be considered a significant contribution to the methodological provision of state management and economic development of multicultural regions.
