Abstract
The study considers a set of topical issues of the power-political, social/economic and ethno-political development of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic during 2014-2019. This period of time is another milestone for the region due to the aggravation of contradictions in the field of interethnic relations and the partial renewal of the management team, appointment of a new leadership of the republic, elections to the Parliament, and launched implementation of the new development programme in the region. At the same time, by 2019, flashpoints of tension persist being directly related to social problems that have existed for a considerable stretch of time. Similar issues remain on the agenda of socio-political life, and high risks of unconstructive conflicts with violence manifest themselves against the background of the absence of fundamental shifts in the republic. The study examined the most urgent inertial problems: democratization of the political process, structural and managerial renewal, reducing the republic’s economic lag from all-Russian standards, land reform, the need to resolve existing tension in the ethno-political and confessional spheres. The analysis demonstrates the relevance of adjusting the strategy of federal and regional authorities to address the issues of social and economic development of the region. Without the search for alternative approaches based on the basic elements of political democracy, sustainable projects, and civic engagement, the transition to sustainable development is unlikely to be attained.
