Abstract: The object of this article is the competitive ability of a region within the current economic system of the state. The subject of this research is a region as one of the junction centers, which employs territorial state policy, economic interests of the region itself, and large capital. In modern world, the competitive ability of the subjects of the state forms as a result multiple factors, particularly economic, social, and political. Thus, the questions and issues regarding the competitive ability of the regions under the conditions of complicated transformation processes have acquired special relevance in the contemporary economic science. The authors examine the theoretical grounds of development of the competitive ability of a modern region, give analysis to the definitions of the concepts of “competitive ability” and “competition”, suggesting that the latter implies a certain dynamic action of economic subjects, contention between themselves as a competitive process. Competitive ability, in turn, implicates the opportunity for a specific subject to participate in the indicated action, and thus, the possession of certain qualities that provide such opportunity. The analyzed determinants are the basic in determination of the competitive ability given by the authors. The scientific novelty lies in the discovered dependence between the level of competitive ability and availability of the factors of production.

Abstract: This article examines the peculiarities of the interregional labor migration in Russia. The authors consider the main sources for searching information on the dynamics of the temporary domestic labor migration, as well as analyze the domestic flows of migrant workers in the federal districts of the Russian Federation. Special attention is given to the Far Eastern regions. The key goal of this work consists in researching the possibilities of increasing the number of population in the remote territories by means of “domestic reserves” of the Russian citizens occasionally come to the region for work. The author point at the existing issues of collecting the initial statistical data necessary for assessment of the scale, directions, and regional specificity of the temporary domestic migration of the Russian citizens. Based on the open sources, the conclusion is made that interregional labor migration is not a significant factor in development of the regional economy of the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District. Compared to the other regions of the country, the proportions of the temporary domestic labor migration flows into the Far Eastern subjects of the Russian Federation are negligible. Thus, the interregional labor migration does not possess enough potential for the substantial increase in population size of the Far Easter Federal Districts. The results of this research can be valuable for the government authorities, including the subjects of the Russian Federation, within the framework of improving the implementation of the regional socioeconomic policy.

Abstract: When regarding the current Russian reality, it is reasonable to perceive the regional policy through the prism of the formation and evolution of the federal relations. The main actors in the federal relations are the federal center and relatively in dependent (within the limits of the competence provided for them) subjects of the federation, which are constantly interacting among themselves, while being systems of political institutions and political interests. That is why, the relations between the center and the regions involve conflicts. It is almost always that the regions wish to enlarge their political autonomy, while the federal center prefers the limiting strategy. Within the framework of the federal model of territorial state structure there is a possibility for a comprehensive and systematized regional policy, which is defined by the sustainability and balance in the relations between the federal center and the constituent subjects of the federation. At the same time domination of the centralization and decentralization processes makes the choice of a specific regional development strategy topical. It may be selective within a centralized federal model, or it may be generally systemic within the framework of decentralization and high level of financial and political autonomy of the regions. Specific features of choice of strategy are discussed in this article.

Abstract: It is noted in the article that fighting corruption within the municipal service system is one of anticorruption mechanisms which facilitates implementation of principles of open and public character of government bodies activities. One of the ways to fight corruption in the sphere of municipal service, presupposing openness of information on the activities of municipal officials, and allowing to fight corruption crimes, is limitation of rights of municipal servants. The establishment of limitations of rights of persons working in the sphere of state and municipal service guarantees efficient professional activities within the sphere of competence of state bodies, prevents possible abuse of rights by state and municipal servants, and guarantees the civil rights of servants.
