A mechanism for the realization of the strategy of regional technological safety

The article presents the principles on which the strategy of regional technological safety is based and justifies the development of a mechanism for its realization. The author defines principles and fundamentals on which such a mechanism is based. The mechanism's goal is the creation of conditions for region's economically efficient sustainable development with a high level of technological safety. The mechanism includes both institutions of state regulation and market institution that influence the processes in the sphere of innovations. The functions of the mechanism under consideration are creation of organizational-and-legal bases for regional technological safety, defining and assessment of potential threats, and participation in the international and national systems of technological safety. The article specifies various priority guidelines to raise the level of regional technological safety and the responsible subjects. A two-level organizational system for the monitoring of regional technological safety is proposed, which consists of the state and regional levels. On the regional level, monitoring is a system of regular observation over the dynamics of the development of relevant processes and events. Formation of regional technological safety requires proper institutional grounds hence the author proposes to establish a special department in the regional state administration.
