Abstract

Normative consolidation boundaries of the Russian Arctic does not satisfy but rather strengthens the scientific and practical interest to the neighboring territories of the zone as a natural space of state and corporate interests’ protection and specific actions of problem-solving of the Arctic’s integrated development. It is shown that the existing potential of applied scientific research is able conceptually to justify principles of rational zonation.
