V.M. About Strategies of Catching up Development for Russia
We argue
that a system of strategic (indicative) planning is necessary to
realize a
successful catching up strategy. The
main task of the system is creation of a regular mechanism of
interaction among
government, business, trade unions, and consumers to facilitate
strengthening
of mutual confidence and coordination of efforts directed to mass scale
restructuring of production sectors; these restructuring has to be
based on
mass imitation and adaptation of Western technologies. Contrary to
broadly
accepted opinion, indicative planning might facilitate improvement of
institutions as well as civil society formation.
