Abstract
The most widely spread form of spatial organization in many countries is clustering. In Russia, cluster policy belongs to the key priorities of the country’s innovative development. This is why special importance get the issues of regional specialization and clusters’ localization. The aim of this research is to present the authors’ typology method for the regions of Russia which is based on such feature of regions as cluster structures’ maturity. The initial theoretical precondition for this research is the statement that successful functioning of a cluster would be possible in a region with high cluster potential as such. At this, under successful functioning of a cluster the authors understand constant improvement of cluster’s performance indicators, regardless state support and participation (or lack of). The offered here typology of territories can be used to define the development strategies for the regions with average and low cluster potentials.
