Scientific and Practical Potential of the Framework Approach Concept in Mesoeconomics

Abstract

The authors explore the theoretical foundations of mesoeconomics. The relevance of the publication is due, on the one hand, to the growing modern risks of the development of regional and national socio-economic systems, and, on the other, to the potential for reformatting interregional ties that ensure the safety and stability of the socio—natural system. The present study is based on the hypothesis of the key role of the framework approach to ensure balanced socio-economic development of a set of socio-natural complexes. Within the framework of the proposed hypothesis, the authors identify three key frameworks — ecological, economic and cultural-historical. The interrelation of frameworks covers development factors that go beyond the region, enterprises/corporations, industries — cooperation, multiplicative socio-economic effects, import substitution that go beyond the region, corporations. At this stage of the study, the methods of scientific observation, expert assessments and factor analysis were used. The article includes a brief overview of the state of modern research in the field of mesoeconomics. Based on the conducted research, the authors, among other things, conclude that it is necessary to supplement the institutional approach with the concept of a framework approach. The framework approach is of particular importance for ensuring the goals of balanced spatial development and security of the country.
