Dobrynin, N. M., Mitin, A. N. Russia’s biggest challenge: effectiveness and quality of governance

Abstract: The subject of this study is the effectiveness and quality of governance in the Russian Federation in respect of public transport policy. The authors unravel the meanings of the key concepts used in the material and use their own understanding of the criteria which can be used to assess the effectiveness of executive power. The article considers Russian transport policy and its economic and social effectiveness. It also considers the future of the transcontinental mega-project “Integrated Eurasian Transport System” and the formation of a fundamentally new Eurasian market. The article concludes that there is an irrefutable correlation between the formation of an efficient transport policy and the level of professionalism and organization of personnel in the Russian system of government. The study relies on comparative law as well as empirical and historical methods of classification, analysis and synthesis. The article identifies new approaches to the study of governance and should improve the economic and social efficiency of state management in the future.
