Abstract
The article delves into the necessity and underlying factors contributing to the formulation of a novel development model for Siberia. It provides definitions and concepts on both national and regional development models. The features and strategies for implementing Siberia’s development model under the current challenges and recent threats are outlined, which include five distinct types of maneuvers and adaptations to new development conditions: structural, transport and logistics, managerial, scientific and technological, and spatial maneuvers. We consider the contours of this prospective model for Siberia’s development, specifically examining its viability during a transition towards a trajectory of Russia’s renewable economic growth characterized by high quality. Six key vectors, representing fundamental principles and directions for such a model, are proposed. Among these, the most dominant are the shift towards a social value model of renewable growth, bolstering the connectivity of Asian Russia’s space, and the establishment of a novel system for cross-border interactions. Drawing insights from the analysis of “The Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development and Long-Range Objectives through the Year 2023 of the People’s Republic of China," the study illustrates that China’s strategic plans practically align with such a development model. The conclusion offers an assessment of the feasibility of the proposed model for Siberia’s development.
