Abstract

New economic circumstances developed by the COVID-19 pandemic fallout, the sanctions, and the special military operation have paved the way for intensifying the development of Russia’s domestic industrial production. An efficient method to deal with this task can be the cluster approach. However, the operation of an industrial cluster brings about both positive and negative effects for the regional socioeconomic development. The problem of assessment and adjustment of these effects has not yet received the definitive answer. In the study, we aim to design a system spatial method for analysing the impact exerted by industrial clusters on the regional socioeconomic development. The combination of the theories of regional and spatial economics constitutes the methodological basis of the research. The methods include content analysis, critical and comparative analysis. Based on the review of the scientific publications indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus and eLibrary databases we structure the tools used to research the mutual influence of a region and a cluster in 1990–2022. In line with the review findings, we identify six theoretical approaches (system, network, institutional, agglomeration, classical, administrative) and four methods (statistical, regionalistic, marketing, situational). Theoretical analysis indicates some limitations of existing combinations of these methods and approaches. To overcome them, we suggest a system spatial method for examining the mutual influence of a region and an industrial cluster that eliminates the major weaknesses inherent in similar tools. Its application allows formulating recommendations for the implementation of the regional cluster policy that favour a positive impact of an industrial cluster on a region under a predominantly positive impact of a region on an industrial cluster.
