The problem of regional asymmetry in the mirror of the system theory of sustainable regional development

The article is devoted to the substantiation of the methodological approach to solving the problem of regional asymmetry in the context of the theory of sustainable regional development. The object of this research is the process of regional asymmetry. The subject of this research is the interaction and interrelations of mutually interested relations between the scientific community and practitioners regarding the solution of the problem of regional asymmetry and their reflection in the technology of sustainable regional development as a derived from the corresponding theory. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption that critical differences in the values of economic and social indicators of regional activity can be eliminated by combining the efforts of theorists and practitioners in the framework of joint work on the improvement and implementation of the technology of sustainable regional development, the formation of which is the final stage of the development and provisions of the theory of sustainable regional development. The main idea of the study is to substantiate such a system technology of sustainable regional development, the results of which contribute to increasing the potential of the regions and their progress. The purpose of the study is to form the technology of sustainable regional development as an integral part of the relevant theory, the application of which contributes to the creation of the necessary prerequisites for eliminating the causes of regional asymmetry. In the work, based on the application of the method of system identification of the objects under study, the methodology for the formation of the structural organization of the technology of sustainable regional development is substantiated, including the argumentation of its structural elements – the official ideology of the country, state regional management, state management of regional development, state management of the functioning of regions, state management of changes in the regions, the synergy of which creates the required conditions for increasing the potential of the regions and their progress. Such an approach to sustainable regional development will improve the level of coordination between the federal center and the regions, expand their opportunities to positively influence the dynamics of regional development and will contribute to the equalization of indicators of economic and social development on the basis of state management of regional development, their functioning and changes.
