Abstract
The relevance of the research topic is due to both role and importance of cooperation between the countries of the BRICS Forum aimed at the formation of a new architecture of a multipolar, polycentric world in the framework of the simultaneous deployment of a real war for the Arctic.
Aim. The purpose of the study is to study tracks of Arctic cooperation in the BRICS format, the most promising of which are the mineral and touristic-recreational tracks.
Tasks. The research objectives are as follows: to consider the existing formats of cooperation in the Arctic; to assess the current state and prospects for interaction between the countries of the BRICS Forum towards the implementation of the “Arctic” agenda; to characterize the promising tracks of the BRICS Arctic cooperation; to formulate proposals for authorities and administrations for improving the effectiveness of BRICS cooperation on promising Arctic tracks.
Methods. Methodological basis and research methods are as follows: systematic approach, logical analysis, synthesis; content analysis of open sources of information.
Results. The results obtained herein are as follows: the most promising tracks of the BRICS Arctic partnership are the mineral resource and touristic-recreational tracks; Arctic mega-projects require a search for multilateral formats, and partnerships with companies from China and India seem to be the most promising.
Conclusions. Main conclusions: it is necessary to carry out a technical and economic analysis of the current state of the mineral resource base of the Russian Federation and to update the component “demanded wealth of subsoil”; in order to develop tourism in remote, sparsely populated regions of Russia with both poorly developed tourist infrastructure and problematic logistics, it is advisable to revise the national project “Tourism and hospitality industry” and to separate the segment “Arctic tourism” into a distinct unit.
