The Mechanism of Forming State Governance of Territories

Abstract

The article focuses on one of the defining aspects of the existence of the territory as a regional formation. It is considered not as a factor, an inert environment, or a resource, but as an independent acting origin that creates an environment for the formation of region-forming ties and plays a huge role in the regional development processes. These circumstances, in particular, allow studying the development of the region from the standpoint of territorial interests, to define it as a (self-) managed territorial formation.
