ARCTIC ASSETS — TOWARDS SYNERGY OF TRADITIONAL PRACTICES AND MODERN TECHNOLOGIES (CASE OF LNG)

Abstract

The article covers the problems of determining and transforming the composition of assets that ensure the achievement of targeted economic and socially useful goals for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The authors justify the point of view, based on the necessary move away from using economies of scale in its pure form. This shift has two directions. The first one is towards the formation of the assets, combining the features and characteristics of the best up-to-date high-tech solutions. The second one takes into account the ‘transformity’, inherent in the traditional economic activities of the peoples of the North and the Arctic region.
