Abstract
On March 14, 2015, the composition of the State Commission for Arctic Development was approved; the main task of the commission is to coordinate the activities of various departments and structures in solving socioeconomic problems and ensuring national security. This decision became a logical step about the growing interest of authorities, science, and business in the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and the activation of studies on the resource, natural, and socioeconomic potential of the Extreme North. At the same time, under the growing deficit of financial resources of the state and private companies, it is important to determine possible institutional, resource, HR, and program projects on the development of the Arctic region and to balance the effectiveness of the socioeconomic policy conducted with respect to this territory. Both theoretical and applied problems of increasing the effectiveness of social and economic activities in the Arctic region are discussed.
