RESTRUCTURING THE ECONOMY OF MONOSPECIALIZED REGIONS BASED ON THE ASSESSMENT OF ECONOMIC SPECIALIZATIONS MANUFACTURABILITY
Monospecialization of a number of the Russian Federation regions in the mining and manufacturing industries with low and medium technological levels of production significantly complicate the processes of regional economy diversification. In this regard, the problem of searching for promising specializations and new points of economic growth is actualized. The article is devoted to the problem of diagnosing the structure of the regional economy in order to identify promising activities and stimulate production of a high level of manufacturability. The methodological basis of the research is the theory of development of mono-specialized regional economic systems, the theory of regional branching and the theory of state regulation of the regional economy. The study used the methods of comparative, cluster and graphical analysis. As a result, the presence of signs of industries related branching was established on the example of the Chelyabinsk region, as well as the presence of a specialized sectoral horizontally integrated center based on the metallurgical industry and a vertically integrated protocenter based on mechanical engineering.
