Mechanisms and Tools to Ensure the Economic Security of the Regions of Ukraine in the Process of Decentralization
Abstract
The article is aimed at substantiation of the applied mechanisms and tools for systemic ensuring the economic security of the regions of Ukraine in the process of decentralized reorganization of the executive powers. It has been revealed that in Ukraine a considerable number of projects of laws have been developed, legislation acts and policy documents have been passed, declarative provisions for the decentralization of powers as well as for reforming the local governance have been presented. It has been confirmed that the decentralization of powers in Ukraine is a necessary step, given the European integration course of the both foreign policy and the internal economic development of the State. However, it has been determined that an administrative-territorial reform may not only positively affect the economic security of region, but can lead to some negative results as well. It has been found that such planning of both the economic development of region and ensuring its security, on the one hand, has its risks, and on the other hand, generates new opportunities and prospects. A complex mechanism for ensuring economic security of the region, including institutional, organizational and economic constituents, has been proposed.
