The article examines the main results and prospective research directions of the Department of Regional and Municipal Administration at the Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering SB RAS, including the methodological foundations of the strategic planning and management system, the principles and structural elements for forming a new model of managing a region’s socio-economic processes in the context of global economic transformations, the key components of a new strategic management mechanism for the economy, and the justification of management models for the development of Russian regions under geopolitical and economic challenges and threats. Through the analysis and synthesis of institutional aspects of state and municipal authorities’ activities, the study identifies the features of the modern management structure and proposes directions for establishing a coherent system of regional and municipal development management. It also determines the main elements of the state and municipal governance mechanism under new socio-economic conditions in the Russian Federation. The article discusses the key provisions of the regional and municipal management concept under current conditions, which include considering economic interests and contradictions in regional economic development, analyzing interactions between state and market structures, developing an institutional system for managing regional development, assessing the efficiency of regional economic management, and studying formation of a socio-economic environment that enhances the competitiveness of cities and districts. This is achieved by increasing investment attractiveness and ensuring the effective use of budgetary funds. These measures will create the prerequisites for transitioning to a management model that ensures real economic autonomy and strengthens the role of municipal entities in implementing regional economic development strategies.
