The strategy of economic development of the Irkutsk region in the beginning of XXI century
The development of the Irkutsk region is going on today according to the strategy that is half-century old. It was effective under relatively low costs of electric and heat energy, of main transport lines, labour, and when the products generated were sold largely in the domestic market. The persistence of the old strategy under new social and economic conditions is the reason for lack of tangible results in the region's development. Today advantageous are high tech productions working for the end consumer and using the achievements of science. The paper examines main directions of a new development strategy in the region. It is, essentially, a transition from the export-resource to innovative patterns.
