“…Belgorod and Kursk regions) can find the new possibilities for attracting touristic flows by implementing innovations to develop infrastructure and create additional objects of interest. Moreover, this could increase the resilience of the regiona l economy due to diversification and mutual reinforcement (Gorochnaya et al, 2020).…”

An intensive movement of people, which is typical in areas with strong tourism industry, is perceived to provide numerous positive externalities with regards to the diversity of cultures, ideas, and knowledge. Border regions act as natural contact zones experiencing the influx of tourists across borders. The borderland is expected to benefit from their geolocation and intensive cross-border cooperation, acting as testing grounds for external innovations. The article iS designed to test the interdependence between the tourism industry and innovation activity in the borderland. The study focuses on the western border regions of Russia, which is a highly divergent area in terms of socio-economic development and experiences challenging times in the context of geo-economic turbulence after 2014. By using the statistical research method, the study develops on evaluating the dynamics of indicators for tourism industry development and innovation activity. The eight-year period of 2012-2019 is applied for taking into account the lag in innovation performance resulting from the positive externalities of tourism. Results show that the growth in tourism industry and innovation activity of found in regions with intensive public expenditure on large-scale infrastructural projects.

“…That is why the regions of various production profiles and some comparatively higher developed and competitive sectors can be grouped into specific typological units. Our previous studies indentified such effects in the touristic regions [28], coastal ones, that is associated with advanced temps of coastal centers' development and the complex of maritime activities, mostly resistant to the geo-economic turbulence [29], and as well as in regions with developed sector of higher education, that lead to the mutual education-innovation clustering [30]. The same takes place in the cases when the clustering involves the interaction between educational sector and business [31].…”

The article focuses on the problems of innovation security of western border regions of Russia within the conditions of geo-economic turbulence after 2014. The developed and polycriteria typology is urgent due to purposes of decision-making support of innovation sector after the shift of conditions and the grown need for import substitution. Several interconnected typologies are proposed within the study, basing on several criteria. The research involves both quantitative and qualitative data on 15 western border regions of Russia. The implementation of dynamic approach to study innovation security (previously developed by the author) allowed tracing 11 statistic indicators on all the stages of innovation process. These stages are: the potential of primary conditions for research activities, the sector of patenting, the organizational R&D activities, the production and consumption of innovations and the final volume and share of innovatively produced goods and services. The assessment is given in static and dynamic extent (including the comparison of 4-year periods before and after 2014). The use of dynamic approach pointed out the changes in grouping regions at each of the consequent stages of innovation process. Some regions are developed at the initial stage; other ones are faster developing in implementation of innovations. Also the study involves qualitative data on innovation clustering and regional strategies (which mark the goals, expectations and view on innovations by regional administrations and communities). The research results in the general complex classification, which reflects the picture of involvement of the regions into innovation process, their main problems and strength.

“…Actually, in general, the cluster approach gains popularity in economy. In recent years, many papers on this subject have been published by Russian authors (Gorochnaya et al, 2020;Ilyasov et al, 2019;Koroleva & Kurnikova, 2020;Kudryavtseva et al, 2020;Perminova et al, 2019;Perova & Papko, 2019;Taranova et al, 2015;Zhelnova, 2012) and by authors from other countries (Haddad & Rahman, 2020;Kumar et al, 2017;Ma et al, 2020;Mishchenko & Mishchenko, 2018) on the necessity to group regions depending on their particularities and differentiate the approaches for managing regions (Baranov et al, 2015). Researchers use modern data mining methods, in particular, self-organizing maps as one of the clusterization methods (Gritsay et al, 2018;Liashenko et al, 2018;Orazi et al, 2020).…”
