Modernization of regional structural policy mechanisms in Ukraine in the process of its EU integration
Modernization of regional structural policy mechanisms in Ukraine in the process of its EU integration

Summary/Abstract: Based on the theory of modernization, the question is raised as to how to implement in Ukraine the EU mechanisms of regional policy and the regional structural policy as its component. On the basis of the comparative analysis, the prerequisites and factors determining the structural policies of the EU and Ukraine are outlined. The risks (geoeconomic, economic, energy, demographic) are determined that are associated with the structural distortions and can adversely affect Ukraine’s integration into the EU. The mechanisms of regional structural policy are assessed, and the problems of their upgrading in Ukraine identified. The conclusion is made about the need for radical institutional solutions in Ukraine, including the development of selective programs of structural adjustment of regional economies.
