The relevance of the topic. Humanity exists as long as scientific research is carried out, which is the subject of intellectual efforts and the realization of the creative potential of the main driving force of development - the scientific community. Scientists are the pride of the nation, and the result of their work is the wealth of the country. The state is rich in its scientific schools. The production of new knowledge and its dissemination as a result of pedagogical and teaching activities, training of highly qualified personnel contribute to the growth and development of the national economy. The susceptibility to knowledge and the rooting of scientific concepts in various strata of society are influenced by many factors: timeliness, relevance, usefulness, user value, reproducibility. Scientists who are distinguished by their research talent, have practical skills in solving problems in the «field» conditions and the ability to think strategically are able to form knowledge capital with high consumer attractiveness. There are such scientists in every historical period. The intellectual product produced by them, presented in the form of theoretical developments or practical recommendations, is consumed by the ecosystem, contributing to its evolution. The task of the user (consumer) of scientific developments is to be immersed in scientific reflection. Being aware of progressive views on issues on the current agenda, the knowledge-oriented consumer gets the opportunity for intellectual enrichment and co-creation. Of particular interest is the intellectual product in the form of publications in periodical peer-reviewed scientific journals, which is a reflection of the most acute current research problems. This article is devoted to the analysis of operational developments presented in scientific journals conducted over the past fifteen years on the problem of management of Russian regions. The authorship of the reviewed publications, their subject matter and content allow us to consider them a collection of intellectual developments that reveal progressive views on the problem of developing and implementing management policies for Russian regions. Goal. The study of the process of formation of the paradigm of regional economy management at the turn of the millennium as a result of intellectual rethinking and clarification of certain areas of development and implementation of the management policy of Russian regions in accordance with the conceptual provisions developed by Professor B. G. Preobrazhensky and other representatives of the Voronezh School of Economics. Methodology. Monographic method, method of analogies, methods of analysis and synthesis, empirical generalization, historical and logical approach, graphical method, behavioral and dialectical approaches, structural analysis, systematic approach. Results and conclusions. The institutional transformations and transitions taking place at the turn of the century, which we are witnessing and even providing, contributed to a change in the management paradigm, clarifying previously justified approaches and developing fundamentally new provisions that form the current concepts of management of Russian regions. Among the most significant theoretical constructions of research interest are the provisions of the administrative-command approach to management, liberalization, protectionism, the concept of sustainable development and its variety - the concept of a circular economy, the concept of responsible behavior and the concept of national consolidation. The study and critical analysis of these concepts indicate their increasing importance in an environment where old and new challenges coexist with each other. Despite its high attractiveness to researchers, each of these concepts needs to be updated and scaled to the mesoeconomical level. Having identified the intellectual core of the relevant provisions contained in each concept, we made proposals that reveal the prospects for further developments and (or) their practical implementation. Thus, on the basis of ideas about sustainable development, formed taking into account the progressive views on this problem of B. G. Preobrazhensky, the current provisions of ensuring sustainable regional development in terms of its environmental and innovative components were clarified. Summarizing the scientific heritage on the problems of developing and implementing regional policy in general, the prospects for improving inter-budgetary relations were identified, and recommendations were made in the field of tax regulation. Based on the analysis of the concept of national consolidation, the prospects for innovative improvement of the regional economy are substantiated. The scope of application. Regional development management; state and municipal management; management of sustainable development of the region with primary attention to environmental and innovative aspects of sustainability.

The relevance of the topic. Currently, there is a large-scale rethinking of the phenomenon of globalization and the associated openness and blurring of the borders of national states. If in the 1980s and 1990s countries competed to become part of a globalized world, now many consider their statehood as the key to economic prosperity. There is a «decline» of liberal ideas, the founder of which was A. Smith and received a «second wind» at the end of World War II. We live in an era of rethinking the benefits of globalization and the growing demand to protect the economy from foreign competition. The draft of the global single market, in which the WTO was supposed to act as an arbitrator, seems to have reached an impasse. In such circumstances, the appeal to the analysis of the theoretical foundations of protectionism and the practice of its implementation seems to be an urgent scientific problem. Goal. A systematic theoretical study of the features of the policy of state protectionism in the modern economy, taking into account new factors of its formation. Methodology. In the process of developing the research issues, the authors used dynamic, comparative analysis, synthesis, logical modeling, generalization, analogy, induction, deduction. Results and conclusions. Ideological disputes between supporters of protectionism and liberalism have been going on since the XVI century. As for the 20th century, protectionism was the world's predominant practice until the 1940s. Since 1947, when the «General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade» (GATT) was signed by 23 countries, liberal dogmas began to dominate the world. And only the financial crisis of 2008 radically changed this long-term trend (as of the end of 2018, 425 restrictive trade measures were identified in 59 countries). Subsequent events: Brexit, victory in the US presidential election, etc. Trump's Covid-19 has only reinforced the protectionist policies necessary to ensure economic growth and sovereignty. The prevailing types of protectionist policies are currently sectoral protectionism and regional protectionism. This is evidenced, in particular, by the conclusion of the Trade Agreement on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) between China, Japan, Australia, the Philippines, South Korea, Indonesia and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. As for sectoral protectionism, it applies primarily to agriculture and high-tech industries. Perhaps the most obvious sign indicating the transition from free market to protectionism at the regional level is the protectionist tendencies that are observed in the European Union itself, which has long been considered the main stronghold of free market ideas and neoliberal globalization and has actively advocated reducing tariff and non–tariff restrictions in world trade. Scope of application. State regulation of the economy, economic theory, international economic relations, theory of socio-economic development.

The relevance of the topic. The introduction of the institution of an authorized economic operator helps to reduce the time for customs formalities, allows minimizing the costs of participants in foreign economic activity, which, in turn, contributes to the development of foreign trade. The institution of an authorized economic operator helps to minimize customs risks. Goal. To investigate the role of the customs economic operator in ensuring the minimization of customs risks, to reveal the problems and prospects for the development of this institution in the EAEU. Methodology. Methods of comparative and logical analysis, systematization of data. Results and conclusions. The paper examines the role of an authorized economic operator in the context of restrictions and sanctions pressure from Western countries. Further development of this institution will contribute to improving the quality of foreign trade operations, because when managing risks, the factor of their participation in a foreign trade transaction should be taken into account, since these are companies with the highest level of trust. AEO companies will contribute to minimizing risks in the implementation of customs control, reducing the costs of participants in foreign economic activity, and reducing the time for customs formalities. In order to increase the attractiveness of AEO, in addition to the simplifications provided for by the EAEU Customs Code, it is necessary to actively promote and implement projects on mutual recognition of the status of an authorized economic operator with the customs services of friendly countries. Scope of application. International trade, foreign economic activity, foreign trade policy.

The relevance of the topic. The earth occupies a special place among the material conditions necessary for human life. It is a great laboratory, an arsenal that delivers tools and tools, as well as a place for settlements, the basis of industry, transport, communications, etc. In agriculture, where the process of producing and obtaining a product is directly related to the level of soil fertility, its quality and nature of use, the land acts as an active factor. Land is the main means of production in agricultural production. Goal. To show the importance of land management design in carrying out work related to the conservation of land resources of our country. Methodology. The methods of scientific cognition (description, observation, analysis) are used. Results and conclusions. To preserve land as the main means of production, it is necessary to plan various activities on a scientific basis — on the basis of land management projects, in which a set of measures in engineering, agronomic and economic relations should be carefully justified. So, when designing, it is imperative to solve the following tasks: firstly, to pay priority attention to agricultural land and especially arable land; secondly, to develop a full range of anti–erosion measures; thirdly, all measures must have an economic justification. Well-developed land management projects will serve as a basis for the introduction of scientific achievements and best practices in combating soil erosion and the rational use of each hectare of land into production. The scope of application. Economics of environmental management, land management.

The relevance of the topic. The Voronezh Region is the most important subject of the Russian Federation, as it has significant land resources, fairly favorable natural and climatic conditions and highly fertile chernozems, the current state of which is undergoing serious changes, this is, first of all, land degradation. The process of soil degradation proceeds slowly over time, when soil losses do not exceed the rate of soil formation. Flushing and erosion of the soil leads to the formation of gullies and ravines on agricultural land, in the presence of which not only makes it difficult to cultivate land and use agricultural machinery, but also significant areas of arable land are withdrawn from agricultural circulation. Goal. Based on the analysis and assessment of the land use territory of agricultural enterprises of the Voronezh region, to identify the main causes of degradation of their arable lands and develop recommendations on the landscape and ecological arrangement of sustainable agricultural landscapes to prevent and eliminate negative consequences occurring in their ecosystems. Methodology. The methods of scientific cognition (description, observation, analysis) are used. Results and conclusions. Neglect of landscape and ecological features of arable lands in the construction of the territory of field agricultural landscapes leads to environmental consequences such as erosion, waterlogging, waterlogging of soils, etc. Soil erosion in the Voronezh region is one of the main negative natural processes that bring great danger to the main agricultural region of the Russian Federation, which has potentially rich arable resources. Against the background of agrarian transformations, the attitude towards land as a natural resource has deteriorated, negative natural processes are becoming more acute against its background, humus reserves are decreasing, there is a high man-made agricultural burden on arable lands everywhere, and in this regard, land fertility is deteriorating. Soil degradation in modern conditions is gaining accelerated development, which in the future poses a threat to the country's food security. Based on the review, study and analysis of scientific and methodological provisions on the landscape and ecological structure of the territory of arable lands in on-farm land management, the authors concluded that it is necessary to renovate the state on-farm land management, which will take into account the agrotechnological features of each working area, design differentiated crop rotations that protect land from degradation, preserve and reproduce the fertility of arable lands the formation of balanced adaptive agriculture. The scope of application. Agro-industrial complex of the Voronezh region, rational use of land resources, economics of environmental management, land degradation, the arrangement of the territory on a landscape-ecological basis.

Goal. To analyze regional party building in the context of regional political regimes. Methodology. Methods such as comparative analysis, the method of expert assessments, and a systematic approach were used. Results and conclusions. The mutual influence of three political phenomena is considered: party building, regional development and political regimes. The Russian Federation is a federal state, the diversity of its regions turns their development and interaction into a complex system, and, consequently, its functioning has consequences for a number of political institutions and processes. The development of regional specifics, local party building, and deepening of federalization processes leads to the formation of a horizontal level of state-building, which does not destroy the vertical of power and does not dilute centralization, but allows for regional specifics to be taken into account, increases the influence of civil society on the formation of government institutions and contributes to democratization unfolding at a new level. Scope of application. The results of the research can be used to study regional party building and its role in the development of democracy in Russia.
