Purpose. Study the state of modern technologies for the extraction of unconventional hydrocarbon resources and determine the prospects for their development. Methods. The method of qualitative and quantitative analysis of scientific literature, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, national reports on the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative standard, as well as open Internet sources, are used in the research. Structurally, the research consists of a sequential analysis of the main types of unconventional hydrocarbon resources. The analysis of each type of unconventional hydrocarbon resources is to determine its main geological characteristics, conditions of occurrence, prospecting-predicting criteria and peculiarities, technologies of recovery, country (geographic) localization and statistical data on production dynamics. Findings. The research presents a systematization of the main types of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, such as oil and gas of shale strata, tight sands gas (basin-central gas type and tight sands gas), methane gas of coal fields, bituminous and oil sands, oil from oil shale, as well as their sequential analysis. The definitions of the main types of unconventional hydrocarbon resources according to Russian and English terminology are synchronized. Depending on the type of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, the conditions for their occurrence, prospecting-predicting criteria and diagnostic properties, country (geographic) localization are determined. The research presents the world experience in the recovery of unconventional hydrocarbon resources (North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region), as well as the dynamics of shale gas and oil recovery (using the example of the United States). Originality. A sequential systematic analysis of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, depending on their type, has been made. Practical implications. The main objectives have been determined for solving the problem of using the unconventional hydrocarbon sources potential, which can lead to the conclusions about the prospects for the unconventional hydrocarbon resources recovery. It is advisable to assess the necessity of studying unconventional hydrocarbon resources in countries oriented on the use of traditional resources.

Criteria of allocation of development poles and growth points in the regional economy have been proved. Technique of allocation of potential development poles and growth points based on the account of multiplicative effect in vertically diversified enterprises has been developed. It has been revealed and quantitatively estimated that the higher attractiveness of the development poles in the regional economy is due to the synergetic effect, which is manifested in the diversification and modernization of production in the compactly located territory of the region. A map of poles and growth points in Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan has been compiled and it has been proved that a development pole has been formed in the region, located in the North of Khujand and in adjacent to it B. Gafurovsky and J. Rasulovsky districts. It is called the “North development pole” and is at the stage of maturity of the life cycle, as it fully characterizes the market relations that function in the development pole. The results of the study can be used in the development of investment rating and typology of the country’s regions, social policy and state regulation of spatial development.

The conducted research in modern conditions allows to allocate such classes in society as rich, average, poor and beggar. Stratification is basing on four criteria, established and justified by the author. The offered technique of social stratification includes 34 indicators, grouped in four blocks. Its transparency, clarity of reflection of vital realities in concrete indicators and availability of information on the specified criteria provide practicality of its realization in life. By results of the conducted survey of 200 experts (as of 01.01.2019), classes are represented in the following order of types and ratios: rich 7-9 %, average 20,9 %, the others – poor and beggar classes. Unfortunately, the trend of increasing reduction of the middle class in Russia and exhaustion of its potential is observed.

The monograph presents the results of research on the formation of mechanisms for regulating the Russian market economic space in the context of globalization and instability. Among the problems of scientific and practical nature, the solution of which is based on the theory of macroeconomic growth, the most interesting is the identification of effective sources and types of economic growth. In the context of post-industrial modernization trends, the need to maintain territorial proportions, prevent excessive differentiation of regions by the level of socio-economic development, and use the advantages of each region in interregional cooperation is shown. The complex of the most significant problems of activation of the processes of economic integration and regulation of the proportions of spatial development; urgent issues of territorial and structural transformation of the spatial development of the national economy are considered; methodological aspects of integrated assessment of the quality level of the common economic space. The main laws, factors, trends and problems in the field of scientific and technological processes are revealed, and the main theoretical postulates and methodological approaches are substantiated. The article examines the strategy of development of cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan. The role and place of the innovation space in the structure of the single economic space is determined, and theoretical and methodological approaches to managing its formation and development in Russia are substantiated. It is proved that the main feature of the innovation space at the present stage of development is its complexity and versatility, which determines the need for fundamentally new approaches to managing the processes of its creation. The main directions of territorial and structural transformation and modernization of the spatial organization of the national economy are formulated. The monograph is intended for managers and specialists of public administration and corporate management, researchers, politicians, postgraduates and students.
