Each country strives for growing economic development, but no country is able to implement it. Various experiences and projects from the countries of the European Union and other neighboring countries are taken and considered. Towards the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, economic movements are increasingly relying on public-private partnerships, which can lead to a rapid development process through the financing of infrastructure projects. Economic globalization, as well as the emergence of new opportunities for economic activity in the world, are aimed at cooperation of the authorities and businesses in the realization of the socio-economic policies. The implementation and realization of development projects through public-private partnerships is impossible without participation by the relevant institutions of the public and private sector. Above all, direct participation implies expertise, experience and education. Every project that will be realized through various forms of public-private partnership must fulfill certain conditions. Among the conditions for proper implementation of the project are: dialogue, transparency and monitoring. The main feature of PPP is the transfer of the risk to the financing, efficiency and quality of public services, which are usually the burden of the private partner. This paper analyzes and explores the essence of public-private partnership. The conceptual framework for public-private partnership, as well as its strengths and weaknesses, is set. With the application of PPP, the economic development of the infrastructure as a whole, and in particular the development of local infrastructure, is analyzed. The origin of PPPs, its characteristics, as well as the need and importance for their continuous implementation are explained. The application of PPP is considered through the experiences in certain countries of the European Union and the Republic of Macedonia. Then, the responses to previously hypothesized hypotheses are collected: what is the successful implementation of PPP, what is needed for PPPs and why. In the end, the data from the conducted research are collected, analyzed and determined the profile of certain activities, as well as the possible decisions for further strategies for the implementation of the PPPs.

The European Union Space Policy (EUSP) is one of the lesser known and, consequently, little understood policies of the European Union (EU). Although the EU added outer space as one of its competences in 2009 with the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, the EUSP roots go back decades earlier.Officially at least, there is no EUSP as such, but rather a European Space Policy (ESP). The ESP combines in principle space programs and competences that cut across three levels of governance: the supranational (EU), the international (intergovernmental), and the national. However, since the EU acquired treaty competences on outer space, it is clear that a nascent EUSP has emerged, even if no one yet dares calling it by its name.Currently, three EU space programs stand out: Galileo, Copernicus, and EGNOS. Galileo is probably the better known and more controversial of the three. Meant to secure European independence from the U.S. global positioning system by putting in orbit a constellation of European satellites, Galileo has been plagued by several problems. One of them was the collapse of the public–private partnership funding scheme in 2006, which nearly killed it. However, instead of marking the end of EUSP, the termination of the public–private partnership served as a catalyst in its favor. Furthermore, research findings indicate that the European Parliament envisioned an EUSP long before the European Commission published its first communication in this regard. This is a surprising yet highly interesting finding because it highlights the fact that in addition to the Commission or the European Court of Justice, the European Parliament is a thus far neglected policy entrepreneur. Overall, the development of the EUSP is an almost ideal case study of European integration by stealth, largely in line with the main principles of two related European integration theories: neofunctionalism and historical institutionalism.Since EUSP is a relatively new policy, the existing academic literature on this policy is also limited. This has also to do with the degree of public interest in outer space in general. Outer space’s popularity reached its heyday during the Cold War era. Today space, in Europe and in other continents, has to compete harder than ever for public attention and investment. Still, research on European space cooperation is growing, and there are reasons to be optimistic about its future.

Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 crisis, Future War and the Defence of Europe considers in the round how peace can be maintained on a continent that has suffered two cataclysmic conflicts since 1914. COVID-19 and the trend-accelerating impact of such pandemics is first considered. The book then weaves history, strategy, policy, and technology into a compelling analytical narrative that sets the scale of the challenge Europeans and their allies will face if Europe’s peace is to be upheld in a transformative century. The book challenges foundational assumptions about how Europe’s defence is organized, the role of a fast-changing transatlantic relationship, NATO, the European Union, and their constituent nation-states. At the heart of the book is a radical vision of a technology-enabling future European defence built around a new kind of Atlantic alliance, an innovative strategic public–private partnership, and the future hyper-electronic European force it must spawn. Europeans should be under no illusion: unless they do far more for their own defence, and very differently, all that Europeans now take for granted could be lost in the maze of hybrid war, cyber war, and hyperwar they must face.

In recent years, cooperation between the state and private business is one of the prerequisites for implementing the strategy of economic development of Ukraine's economy. The separation of forms and models of public-private partnership depending on the industry, type of partnership and form of socio-economic significance of projects will ensure the creation of a platform for the formation of national competitiveness. The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze domestic and foreign models of public-private partnership, the formation of prospects, priority areas for their implementation and realization. To achieve this goal, a set of general scientific methods is used: theoretical generalization - to determine the nature and content of public-private partnership models, the method of scientific abstraction - to identify areas of application of models of cooperation between government and business, comparison - to identify models -logical - for theoretical generalization and formulation of conclusions. The analysis and generalization of public-private partnership models revealed the content of their classification proposed by the World Bank and taking into account the basic principles of risk sharing between the state and the private sector: "Management and lease contracts", "Concessions", "Projects from scratch" "And" Transfer of assets ". It is noted that the main PPP models used in the implementation of infrastructure projects in the European Union differ slightly from the above classification, mostly in the degree of involvement and transfer of project risks from the state to the private sector. The main models of public-private partnership in the European Union are analyzed, which according to the study include: service contract; management and operation contract; lease agreement; turnkey construction; design, construction, financing and operation. It is studied that in the United States three models of PPP are most often used: design and construction; design, construction and operation / maintenance; construction, operation and transmission. It is proved that for the full effect for the national economy it is necessary to implement the characteristic features of several of the analyzed models of public-private partnership. A promising area of ​​research is the need to improve approaches to implementing the principles of public-private partnership, given the study of structural classification of forms and models, the etymology of the concept of partnership in dynamic economic conditions, and the uncertain realities of today.

The object of research - the development of transport infrastructure of EU countries, trends, prerequisites for successful implementation. The purpose of the work is to study the experience of implementing transport infrastructure development projects on the basis of public-private partnership in the countries of the European Union. The results of the study will be used to form an information base on transport infrastructure development projects that have been implemented on the basis of public-private partnership. Relevant information will be used to compare the expected performance of domestic projects with similar projects in the European Union The research method is monographic and statistical. The article is devoted to the study of trends in the application of the mechanism of public-private partnership in the development of transport infrastructure of the European Union. It was found that since 2013, the volume of investment and the number of projects implemented on the basis of PPP, tend to decrease. Thus, compared to 2013, the amount of capital invested in 2019 decreased by more than 50%. The transport infrastructure consistently ranks first among the sectors of the economy in terms of investments made on the basis of partnership between the state and private business. At the same time, the leaders of investments in PPP projects are such countries as Great Britain, France and Germany. According to the number of implemented projects - France, Great Britain and Belgium. Appropriate preconditions must be created for the effective implementation of PPP projects. Further areas of research are the study of programs, policies and practices used by other countries that actively involve the private sector in the provision of transport infrastructure services; development of relevant recommendations for the implementation and improvement of Ukraine's policy and practice in the field of transport infrastructure development.
