Abstract

Discussions about the importance of industrial clusters and their impact on spatially localized economic systems have acquired a significant place in academia over the past quarter of a century. At the same time, previous studies have identified only a small part of externalities that have a significant impact on the behavior of firms, but only a few of them paid attention to the process of self-organization of clusters. This document is a supplement to the literature on understanding the process of self-organization of a cluster from the point of view of its fundamental causes, characteristics of the emergence, formation and development. Based on the data of the Kaliningrad region, this study empirically shows that, in comparison with the Russian Federation, the region can act as a “living laboratory”, which will make it possible to better study the self-organization model using the example of the “Shipbuilding cluster of the Kaliningrad region”. The purpose of this article is to study industrial clusters and the process of their self-organization in the region from the point of view of a circular economy. In this regard, the paper considers the evolution of the theory and methods for assessing the nature of the concentration of local business, and also studies the main parameters of the Kaliningrad region development, indicates its problems and prospects. This study will be useful for building a circular economy and planning the development of industrial clusters in it, as well as optimizing existing models for other industries and regions.
