Integrated Assessment of Economic Security in a Resource Region
The article provides a comparative analysis of existing approaches to the assessment of regional economic security and proposes an original integrated assessment of economic security in resource regions. It includes an assessment of economic security thresholds based on Russia's strategic development priorities, in comparison with the level of developed countries, as well as trend and multivariate statistical analyses that help to identify crucial imbalances which threaten economic development in the region. The evaluation is based on data from Krasnoyarsk Krai. We have identified a number of paradoxes within economic security, namely an unbalanced development of human capital and the environment, the industrial sector and high-tech business, as well as disequilibrium in financial security that make a region to transform from an advanced industrial territory with a diversified economy into a «national storehouse» with predominant extractive enterprises focusing on one product and end to up be trapped in technological inferiority.
