The article analyzes the resource determinants of the strategic development of the economy of regions of the South of Russia. The conceptual basis of the formed strategies taking into account regional specificity of their realization and the accumulated resource potential is determined. The theoretical and methodological basis of research is presented by the convergence of the systematic, synergetic, balance, institutional and endogenous approaches and by the combined use of theories of the growth poles, balanced development, spatial economics, conditions of institutional regional science. The authors emphasize that under the conditions of the “new normality” where the Russian economy is found a considerable correction of the concepts of the regional strategy making is needed. This fact is to be reflected in the maximal adjustment of the decisions taken in the meso level (intermediate level) managerial solutions to the factors of the “external surrounding” where a special importance has the systematic organization of the regional space taking into account of its systematic features and structure. It is proved that in order to prevent the intensification of asymmetries and inequalities in levels of social and economic development of territories within the borders of regions the increase of the balance of their development under the innovative context can be determined by means of a more complete use of endogenous sources of growth. This fact determines methodological and practical significance of the assessment and the estimation of their resource determinants. The available resource potential of regions of Southern Russia in the context of individual components is analyzed: human capital, material and technical (production) and investment resources. The factors contributing to growth and limiting factors of the modernized development of the economy of southern Russian regions from the point of view of the realization of a non resource model of growth are determined. It is proved that the effectiveness of regional strategies subject to the solution of the of the tasks of the formation of a balanced and stable construction of the economic carcass of the region is determined by a common impact of administrative and market mechanisms. At the same time the key component is the problem of the creation of a favourable institutional and infrastructural medium of a spatial development of the regional economy.
