Abstract
The article examines the theoretical and applied aspects of determining the development of regional economic systems in the context of current economic instability, characterized by sanctions pressure, pandemic shocks, and the structural transformation of global markets. Based on an analysis of domestic and international approaches (2020–2024), key groups of factors are identified: natural resource, institutional, investment and innovation, infrastructure, and socio–demographic. Particular attention is paid to the concept of economic resilience and mechanisms for ensuring the technological sovereignty of regions. The main problems of regional system development are identified, including institutional traps, spatial polarization, human capital deficit in the periphery, infrastructural imbalances, and low innovative receptivity of the real sector. Solutions to these problems are proposed: institutional transformation, a «smart specialization» policy, mechanisms for securing human capital, cluster development of infrastructure hubs, stimulating innovation transfer, and the introduction of economic resilience monitoring. The work is based on methods of systems analysis and economic–statistical generalization.
