Fast economic growth of Northeastern Asia (NEA) is forecasted in the XXI century. It originates fast increase of the natural resource demands. Cooperation and competition, mutual supplement and contradictions, historically stable relations and new forms of collaboration among regions constitute the natural resource use system of NEA, which is now reshaping. The natural resource use of the Russian Far East (RFE) is significant part of the system. The analysis of natural resource provision, their utilization and transformation, market conditions, arising social, ecological and economical problems is given for NEA regions and more detailed - for the RFE. The impact of the property and management structures, of prices and investments on the natural resource use is shown. Ways to integrate the regional natural-resource sectors in NEA are described. The conception of the RFE natural resource use and methods of its regulation to achieve sustainable development are proposed.

The book is intended for a broad circle of Russian and foreign businessmen, as well as for scholars, teachers and students.
