An Example of Lankaran Economic Region) REPUBLIC of AZERBAIJAN UN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Azerbaijan Trends of improving the competitiveness of regional economy (An example of Lankaran economic region) BAKI - 2009 AZ 1011, Republic of Azerbaijan, Baku city, H.Zardabi Avenue, 88a Telefon/Faks: +994 12 4300215, E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.ier.az UN Development Program (UNDP) is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the main goals of the economic policy carried out in the Azerbaijan Republic in recent years has been to achieve the social and economic development of the regions. A wide range of activities has been implemented in country to support this goal and this process is still underway. In order to promote the high social and economic development of the regions in country, to further improve the people’s living standards, to enhance the effectiveness of using the current capacity in regions, to ensure the creation of new jobs, the development of various fields of industry, as well as the agrarian sector, the expansion of processing agricultural products, and to implement other sets of activities, the President of the Azerbaijan Republic approved the State Program on Social-Economic Development of the Regions in the Azerbaijan Republic (2004-2008) on February 11, 2004, and the State Program on Social-Economic Development of the Regions in the Azerbaijan Republic (2009-2013) on April 14, 2009. Despite all the work carried out, the fact that the social and economic development level of the regions is still lagging behind, calls for implementation of research in this area. First of all, it is important to investigate the issues on improving the competitiveness of regional economy. From this standpoint, researching the issues related to the improvement of economic competitiveness in the Lankaran economic region is of utmost importance. The research work has studied the status of the region in recent years. The studies employ M.Porter’s “National rhombus” and the cluster approach used in assessing the regional competitiveness. The research work has been carried out using the comparison, statistical analysis, logical generalization, and other methods. The studies have identified a weak exercise of the economic capacity in the region. Suffice to emphasize that 1.7 percent of the total product output has been produced in the Lankaran economic region, which constitutes 9.2 percent of the country’s population and 7% of the overall territory.

Improvement of governance system CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS REFERENCES INTRODUCTION In transition economies and developing states, along with the efforts to maintain the global development rate at national level, another issue that is the regional inequalities has arisen. Such an inequality is further increased mainly due to greater development of the advanced territorial units, and the lagging of other regions. One of the major instruments to reveal the noted issues is regional competitiveness. The concept of competitiveness is a new theme in the theory and practice of economic development, the economic policies of states. Previously, the theme of competitiveness was limited in business sphere and the international trade framework. However, in recent years, this has gained importance within a country, that is at the regional level. In the new programming period of ADB for 2007- 2013, along with the concept of economic and social equality, the construct of regional competitiveness has also become a crucial factor. For such an unequal development of the regions is not only a problem of the transition economies, but also exists in the developed economies of ADB.1 In developing states and transition economies, the roots of this concept date back to the 2nd of the 90s. One can state that this issue has gained importance in our country following the adoption of the social-economic development program of the regions. Efficient placement of the country’s productive forces and the full enjoyment of the economic potential of various regions is largely important for the country’s economic development. Unequal distribution of the productive forces by the territory is characteristic for the Azerbaijan Republic. Hence, in terms of the total product output in 2008, the share of Baku city, where 22.9 percent of the country’s population lives, has constituted 78.9 percent. During the transition period of the country’s economy to the market relations, the increase in unemployment rates as a result of the fall in production in various regions has led to the aggravation of the social-economic status, the flow of people from the regions to Baku and foreign countries, as a whole, to the incomplete use of the country’s economic potential, and creation of additional social problems. Therefore, the full and efficient use of the existing economic potential in the Republic’s economic zones at the present time and increasing the regions’ social-economic development rates have been identified as one of the strategic areas of the economic reforms carried out in the country. Due to these reasons, the State Program on Social-Economic Development of the Regions in the Azerbaijan Republic (2004-2008) adopted in 2004, and the State Program on Social-Economic Development of the Regions in the Azerbaijan Republic (2009-2013), approved in 2009, distinguish the elimination of poverty in regions, efficient use of the potential in regions, development of entrepreneurship and ensuring the economic development as a whole as the major issues of state importance. While identifying the activities to be implemented for distribution of the productive forces, it should be taken into account that the extreme concentration of production in large cities is inadmissible. The enterprises should be created in small and medium-size cities under favorable economic conditions. This requires the improvement of regions’ competitiveness and increasing their investment attractiveness. Under the market economy relations, the profit rates gained by the commodity producers directly affect the selection of the rayons where they are placed. In this respect, since the competitiveness of a region indicates the status of the region and its commodity producers, which are specified by the economic, social, political, and other factors in 1 Miklos LUKOVICS, Measuring Territorial Competitiveness: Evidence from Hungarian Local Administrative Units (LAU1), Institute of Economics and Economic Development, 2007, s.1 internal and external markets, economic units cannot obtain the expected results unless they are located in a region, which provides favorable conditions for their operations. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the regions’ competitiveness in order to achieve the optimal placement of productive forces in the country. The objective of the research is to make make proposals and recommendations on increasing economic competitiveness at regional level, based on the comprehensive analysis of the current status of social-economic development of a region, in an example of the Lankaran economic region, and referring to the existing competitiveness theories available internationally. In order to achieve this objective, the research work has investigated the theoretical- methodological and practical issues of improving competitiveness of economy at the regional level. The results of the research work and the proposals made can contribute to the activities to be implemented by the state in order to ensure the economic development in the Lankaran economic zone, especially the regions included here. CHAPTER 1. THORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF IMPROVING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF REGIONAL ECONOMY 1.1. Theoretical foundations of regional competitiveness This section will touch upon the attitudes of different theoretical movements of economic theory toward competitiveness and their relationship with the regional competitiveness. The development theory represents the beginning of the theoretical model of regional competitiveness.2 The major assumption of this theory is that the concentration of knowledge in one region creates increased productivity.

The bird names have been listed and classified according to the scientific codes. An etymological study has been presented for scientific names, including genus and species. If it was possible we have provided the etymology of Persian and Gilaki native names of the birds. According to our best knowledge, there was no previous report gathering and describing the ornithological fauna of this part of the world. Gilan province, due to its meteorological circumstances and the richness of its animal life has harbored a wide range of animals. Therefore, the nomenclature system used by the natives for naming the animals, specially birds, has a prominent stance in this country. Many of these local and dialectal names of the birds have been entered into standard language of the country (Persian language). The study has presented majority of comprehensive list of the Gilaki bird names, categorized according to the ornithological classifications.

  • Talish and the Talishis (The State of Research) Garnik
    TALISH AND THE TALISHIS (THE STATE OF RESEARCH) GARNIK ASATRIAN, HABIB BORJIAN YerevanState University Introduction The land of Talish (T alis, Tales, Talysh, Tolysh) is located in the south-west of the Caspian Sea, and generally stretches from south-east to north for more than 150 km., consisting of the Talish range, sup- plemented by a narrow coastal strip with a fertile soil and high rainfall, with dozens of narrow valleys, discharging into the Caspian or into the Enzeli lagoon. This terrain shapes the historical habitat of Talishis who have lived a nomadic life, moving along the mountainous streams. Two factors, the terrain and the language set apart Talish from its neighbours. The densely vegetated mountainous Talish con- trasts the lowlands of Gilan in the east and the dry steppe lands of Mughan in Azarbaijan (Aturpatakan) in the west. The northern Talish in the current Azerbaijan Republic includes the regions of Lenkoran (Pers. Lankoran), Astara (Pers. Astara), Lerik, Masally, and Yardymly. Linguistically, the Talishis speak a North Western Iranian dialect, yet different from Gilaki, which belongs to the same group. Formerly, the whole territory inhabited by Talishis was part of the Iranian Empire. In 1813, Russia annexed its greater part in the north, which since has successively been ruled by the Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, and since 1991 by the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan. The southern half of Talish, south of the Astara river, occupies the eastern part of the Persian province of Gilan. As little is known about the Talishis in pre-modern times, it is diffi- cult to establish the origins of the people (cf.

Mamedov1, Аleksandr B. Orishev2, Igor Yu. Zalysin3, Tatyana N. Fomina4, Anna A. Paikidze5 Abstract Formation and development of the Talysh ethnic consciousness under the conditions of the Talysh ‘geoethnic reserve’ have been analyzed. Certain ethnoforming elements of the Talysh culture, i.e. factors promoting preservation of the basic constants of the Talysh ethnic consciousness, have been revealed. On the one hand, it is a cult of rocks, stones, groves and trees, and on the other hand it is worship of air, water, land and fire, which with the appearance of Zoroastrianism at first, and later of Shia Muslim, were not absorbed and peripheralized, but filled with new religious and ethical contents presenting moral and esthetic ideals of the Talysh people. The role of a myth and religion as an obligatory early stage of formation of the Talysh ethnic culture has been determined; regularities of formation of the Talysh ethnic consciousness have been shown; steps of ethnogenesis and a world view of the Talysh ethnos have been enlightened.

  • Of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the Occasion of 31 March – the Day of Genocide Against Azerbaijanis
    STATEMENT of the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the Occasion of 31 March – the Day of Genocide against Azerbaijanis During past 200 years the massacre and deportation policy carried out by Armenian nationalists and their supporters against Azerbaijan are the painful pages in the history of our nation. The aim of this repulsive policy was to withdraw Azerbaijanis from their native lands by force, and to establish “Great Armenia” state that was made up by Armenian historians and ideologists. In the beginning of XIX century resettlement of ten thousands of Armenian families to Karabakh, and Zangezur from Iran and Turkey, their settlement on the historical Azerbaijani lands in Iravan province, Nakhchivan, Karabakh and other regions, resulted in changing of the ethnic content of the population deliberately in favour of the Armenians over the years of 1828-1830. As a result of mass annihilation and pundering committed by armenian armed groups in different parts of Caucasus, the rights of azerbaijanis deported from their historical lands within the territoriy of the Republic of Armenia in 1905-1907, 1918-1920, 1948-1953, 1988-1993 were grossly violated, they were subjected to ethnic cleansing accompanied by inhuman and degrading treatment. All the above mentioned facts, as well as large-scale war seeking the goal of tearing Nagorny Karabakh from Azerbaijan since 1988 and its bitter results continued even today are bloodstained pages of planned repulsive policy committed by Armenian nationalists against Azerbaijanis. As a result of this insidious policy historical Azerbaijani lands were occupied by Armenians from time to time, due to the Armenian aggression policy carried out against Azerbaijan since 1988, 20 percent of the country lands were captured, hundred thousands of Azerbaijanis became refugees and IDPs, ten thousands of people were killed.
