Abstract

The purpose of this article is to considerate international experience in regional cluster modeling to identify prospects for implementing this tool in the Russian Federation. The theoretical aspects of the "cluster" concept, its types, and implementation policies in global practice are explored. The foreign experience of adapting the cluster approach is analyzed, national characteristics are identified, and a comparative analysis of cluster application in North America and Asia is provided in contrast to methods used in Russia. Recommendations are given for mechanisms aimed at activating cluster policy in Russia.
