NATURE, CONTENT OF STATE INDUSTRIAL POLICY
There is certain dependence of economic science on the state economic policy as well as the latter on the results of scientific research. Depending on the degree of elaboration of the theoretical and methodological tools, it will be possible to expect effectiveness and targeting of the policy. Thus, we think that close attention to the problem of the theoretical definition of «state industrial policy» is caused firstly, by its growing relevance in justifying the goals, tasks and tools in the development of the Russian economy; second, by the unsatisfactory low level of development of the theoretical basis of this section of economic science. Proceeding from this, in this article will be made an attempt, first, to systematize and describe various points of view on the definition of the term «state industrial policy»; second, to retrace the evolution of interpretations of Russian and foreign researchers in the category «state industrial policy»; third, to describe the problems that appear in the way of the researcher studying this phenomenon. The terminological unit under investigation is analyzed from the position of normative and positive economic theory.
