The genesis of regulatory acts for the development of regions. Part one

This article presents an analysis of the development of legal regulation of socioeconomic development in the Russian Federation. The symptoms of the movement of management to the project and anthropocentric type were determined. The key legislative acts related to socio-e conomic development and regional development for the period from 1995 to 2020 were analyzed. The subject of the analysis was the target focuses of planning, the role of the state in planning, the nature of the relationship between federal, regional, municipal authorities and other development actors, the consistency and complexity of policy development, territorial unification or diversity in regional planning. The results showed the movement of administration from the functional to the system type, a change in the programmatic approach towards the project approach. Directionality is replaced by resultsbased management. However, such a consistent movement towards anthropocentricity is not observed. The management of territories is based on the principle of partnership, but these relations are still built on the principle of subordination, which greatly reduces the activity of subjects of territorial development and hinders the implementation of national projects.
