This emphasizes the importance of following the principle of connectivity in the development of the Eastern sector of the Russian Arctic, when analyzing the sources of complexity the design of its development, performed by the employees of the Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IEIE SB RAS). The article studies the projects of integrated development of the Eastern sector of the Arctic zone of Russia, developed in 2015-2018 by the IEIE SB RAS as potential drivers and multipliers that can accelerate the social and economic development of the entire country.
