Abstract
The article deals with some aspects of managing the process of «northern delivery» of life-supporting goods to hard-to-reach territories of the northern regions. In the absence of a unified framework for regulatory and legal management and unified mechanisms of state regulation, there are heterogeneous approaches to supporting the importation of goods and different regional practices. The performed retrospective analysis describes a number of attempts to form unified mechanisms of state support for the delivery of goods by distributing federal funds for reimbursement of transportation costs. Experience has shown the inconsistency of the applied practices, which led to the risk of disruption in the delivery of vital goods to the population. The problems associated with the uninterrupted delivery of goods within the framework of the «northern delivery» directly relate to the issues of food and energy security of the population of the Arctic territories. Despite significant changes in the approaches to solving this issue at the state level, aimed at improving the energy security of the regions and modernizing existing technologies, addressing the issues of ensuring the sustainability of the supply of fuel and energy resources and socially significant food products to the hard-to-reach territories of the Arctic is impossible without the consistent transformation and development of key organizational and economic mechanisms. One of the directions for the development of management systems of the «northern delivery» is the formation of unified organizational and economic mechanisms with the participation of the federal center for coordinating management decisions and financing.
