Abstract

The subject of the research is the instruments of regulation of the development of creative industries, taking into account the state and peculiarities of the national economy of Russia, as well as global changes taking place in the world economy.

The purpose of the work is to establish ways and means to increase the efficiency of creative industries at the subnational level, increase employment in the creative sector of the economy, and develop human potential in the spatial aspect. The research was conducted on the basis of official information; when choosing sources and methods for analyzing the differences between cultural and creative industries, the works of foreign and domestic scientists were used, revealing the peculiarities of the development of culture and intercultural communications in a globalizing society. The initial thesis for the analysis was the assumption that transformational changes in the economy cause the perturbation of the sectoral structure of the economies of different countries of the world; the dynamic development of economic and financial relations; the growth of the share of creative industries in GDP production. The concept of increasing the aggregate supply of creative industries as accelerators of increasing the level of employment (and self-employment) in the creative sector of the economy has been adopted as a theoretical and methodological basis for the research. The interrelation of the applied methods of state economic regulation and the results of the creative industries’ activities is established, the prerequisites for their accelerated development are identified. The general scientific and special methods of analysis used in the research process made it possible to substantiate proposals aimed at increasing legal protection and streamlining the management practices of creative industries, systematization of financial instruments and their selective choice in order to obtain financial support depending on the industry specifics and the location of production.
