Abstract:

The paper aims to justify the genesis of the theory of new industrialisation as a new research programme within the theories of regional economic development and regional economic growth. The author proves that the research of new industrialisation in economic space of a macroregion is a promising direction and it is scientifically accurate to hold it in the context of the theories of regional economic development and regional economic growth. Methodologically the paper relies on the fundamental propositions of the theories of regional development and regional economic growth and examines their content by the methods of evolutionary analysis. As a result, the research refines the theory and methodology of regional economics by extending the scientific theory of regional economic development and regional economic growth. The evolution of the theories of regional economic development and regional economic growth vividly demonstrates that innovative, integrated factors capturing potentials of several regions, macroregions (for instance, agglomeration processes, appearance of growth points, shrinkage of economic space and acceleration of economic time, interregional projects, etc.) are strengthening. This particular regularity is the key argument in the choice of an interregional object of the study – a macroregion, which encompasses several subjects of the Russian Federation.

Keywords: new industrialisation; macroregion; economic space of a macroregion; theories of economic development; scientific paradigm of the new industrialisation.
