O.S. Regional Infrastructure on the Way of
Liberal Reforms.
The ever-growing interregional disparities in Russia
emerge to be an important constraint of the economic growth. Taking
away
institutional barriers on the way of the goods, capital, and manpower
fails to
solve this problem. Moreover, it accelerates the outflow of these
resources
from poor regions to richer territories. Under these conditions the
radical
change in regional policy becomes a necessity. It should be transformed
from
the policy of subsidizing current expenditures of regional budgets (as
it is
to-day) into the long-term strategy of development regional
infrastructures
(public works and public utilities) which is the only way to provide
the real
freedom of choice and competition.
