REGIONAL POLICY ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

Abstract

The article analyzes the issues of regional development in the context of modern public administration. The study of regional development is actualized by the presence of the social order and the peculiarities of development in Ukraine. The experience of realization of social and economic development of regions is generalized on an example. The world experience of state regulation of regional development is largely differentiated due to the peculiarities and development of national economies, state system, political traditions and forms of international integration, and therefore it is almost impossible to identify the dominant model of regional development policy. The global trend of the modern world is the growing role of regions as units of the regional level of government, which can, on the one hand, reduce the burden on central government, taking over some of their powers, and on the other - take into account the needs of local decision-making. This process is the result of decentralization, regionalization, democratization and globalization. The long crisis period in Ukraine and the proclaimed European integration vector objectively require the implementation of a scientifically sound integrated state policy aimed at restoring economic growth and the economy to the level of global competitiveness. The regional aspect of the economic growth strategy has an exclusive role for Ukraine. Today it is necessary to implement its own scientifically sound and balanced regional policy, harmonization of the principles of interaction of the center with the regions in order to ensure the optimal combination of national and regional interests. According to the levels of economic, technological and social development, the regions of Ukraine are significantly differentiated and the problem of leveling these disparities remains relevant.
