Abstract
The urgency of the topic of interregional cooperation is caused by a decrease in the intensity of horizontal ties between regions resulted from the increased centralization of economic resources, a general decrease in the rate of economic growth, and the underdeveloped institutional basis of the cooperation. The research considers the possibility of enhancing interregional coop eration on the basis of a joint addressing the main territorial challenges by regional authorities, which are currently being ad dressed from the federal level. It has proven essential to include horizontal ties between regions, which will take into account the interests of the territories. Three groups of similar problems have been identified related to the nature of the use of natural re sources, environmental impact on the habitat, and the preservation of the human potential of the territory. We proposed to study the practice of reducing the level of decision-making in the country and abroad by the method of case analysis, in particular, when solving the problems of protecting Lake Baikal, in order to create a system of institutions for inter-regional interaction. This approach will strengthen federalism and accelerate the pace of socio-economic development of territories.
