Managing the northern supply haul: legal aspect by M. E. Kuznetsov, M. I. Nikishova

“…Objective: to evaluate the regulatory legal mechanisms of the management of the Northern supply haul to the Far North regions and to formulate proposals for their improvement.Methods: a spatial approach that allowed us to consider the management of the Northern supply haul through the conceptualization of the spatial dimension of the remote areas supply processes – the predestination of a certain geographical coordinate system in which the object under study is placed, and the presence of regionalization determined by the spatial and temporal structuring of the territory of our country; interviewing and focus groups with executive authorities, representatives of research institutes, expert and business communities in order to form an array of initial data on the legal aspects of the Northern supply haul.Results: the article states that regional regulatory legal acts are predominantly non-systemic in nature (except in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)), regulating certain areas of state support, in particular the procedure for providing financial support. …”
