Development of the creative cluster in the Republic of Crimea: global and local aspects

Abstract

. The entry of the Republic of Crimea into the Russian Federation is associated with complex integration pro-cesses in cultural, political, social, and economic aspects. Considering the special characteristics of the Crimea, it is planned to develop a number of industries and sub-sectors, united in a single creative cluster. The cluster is supposed to develop such areas as information technology, visual arts, gastronomy, film industry, literary quarter, and others. One of the tasks of the creative cluster is to reduce the region’s dependence on the tourism industry, which is especially im-portant for the areas conventionally called the “southern coast of Crimea”. In order to formalize the issues related to financing and coordinating the activities of the creative cluster, it is necessary to develop a model of interaction between the proposed stakeholders. It is also necessary to make proposals for the inclusion of this cluster in the draft Strategy of the Social and Economic Development of the Republic of Crimea for the Period up to 2030.
