Policy-Targeted Territorial Production Complexes in the Context of the Mobilization Economy (on the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of M.K. Bandman)

The relevance of the mobilization economy for Russia is substantiated in scientific literature and political discussions from various positions: from a new radical reform of the sociopolitical system to recommendations to concentrate resources on solving specific problems. Historical examples of overcoming difficulties help to choose the right direction. One of them is the experience of forming policy-targeted territorial production complexes (TPC) in the 1970s–1990s, the theory and methodology for studying which was developed by Doctor of Economics, Professor M.K. Bandman. Together with his colleagues, he showed that the main condition for the effectiveness of their formation and development is targeted activity within the framework of the “problem–policy” dichotomy. The projection of the doctrine of policy-targeted territorial production complexes onto the modern reality of the Russian economy, including its northern resource regions, revealed the advantages of a constructive approach to solving specific national economic problems over the ideas of a new total reform of Russia.
