Abstract

In recent years in Russia attempts have been made to modernize the national economy. One component of the aforementioned policy is the wager on an advanced development status for several territories; Komsomolsk-on-Amur has been granted such status in 2016. As a result, a conceptual framework must be developed in order to understand the chances the city has to turn into an evolv-ing and flourishing economic center of the Far East region. It is necessary, first and foremost, to determine the paradigm within which the city's socioeconomic potential should be evaluated. In the article, the main paradigms of social devel-opment are compared in their application to the aims of Komsomolsk-on-Amur's development: theories of modernization, geographical determinism, and an insti-tutional approach. Migration gain is seen as an indicator of the city's socioeco-nomic prosperity. The influence of factors, on which each of the compared para-digms focuses, (investments, climate, institutions) was tested, using official sta-tistics, and employing regression analysis.
