“…Basic needs, gender relations, and environmental sustainability all emerged in this way and eventually became more popular and were absorbed into diverse discourses. Importantly, most of these more holistic approaches preceded the development 'impasse' of the mid-1980s and the popularisation of poststructural perspectives, among which the jargon of empowerment and participation has become central (e.g., Friedmann and Douglas, 1978;Stfhr and Taylor, 1981;Redclift, 1987;Wisner, 1987;Friedmann, 1992;Ghai and Vivian, 1992;Norgaard, 1994).…”

“…An interesting fact is that the economic development strategies, adopted at the federal level, do not set a goal to increase coal exports, which cannot be said about the strategic documents of the Kemerovo region.

Abstract. Depressed state of Russian economy in recent years, the unstable functioning of most regional social and economic systems in the conditions of increased uncertainty of the global economy makes strategizing of the development based on a new model of economic growth a highly important issue. It assumes the tasks of modernization and restructuring of the economy, as well as improving the quality of management. It is known that the solution of these conceptual target problems was suggested by the concept 2020, but the global crisis of 2007-2009 and other geopolitical factors in the post-crisis period pushed their implementation back. The results of 2016 show an adaptation of Russian economy to the difficult internal and external challenges. In this article, the authors analyze the strategizing process by the example of the "Strategy of social and economic development of the Kemerovo Region up to 2025", as well as analysis comparatively the strategies for the development of the national economy, the Siberian Federal District and the region. Based on the study results the authors formulated and substantiated conclusions and recommendations to improve strategizing process and the effectiveness of strategic management of the development of social and economic systems.

All these cases can be summarised in two types of possible alternatives.…”

The participation of social inclusion workers in project management is to a large extent aimed at setting up businesses and mainly entails working with businessmen and women and entrepreneurs. Policies formulated to this end involve four lines of action: improving infrastructure; managing local businesses; supporting and managing the creation of micro-businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises; and carrying out socio-economic studies which aid the economic and social development of a particular local community. This study includes an analysis of the characteristics of the service provided by local development workers with regard to the development areas concerned, the nature of the work carried out and the groups involved, the characteristics of the service offered to entrepreneurs and groups of entrepreneurs and the characteristics of the projects managed. Field work was carried out during the 2004 which entailed the use of a questionnaire intended for all local development workers included in our own directory.
