Increasing economic growth and employment, as well as improving the quality of life of the population, is one of the priorities of each country. One of the options to achieve these goals is to balance regional disparities. In the current globalization process, balancing regional disparities is all the more important. The European Union, as one of the most important communities of states, seeks to reduce regional disparities within the Community through a cohesion policy. The Slovak Republic, as one of the member states of the European Union, seeks to support the least developed regions through incentives and grants. Because of this, it analyzes the situation in the regions, identifies the least developed regions and takes measures to support them. This article deals with the socio-economic analysis of the least developed regions and analyzes the measures that are taken to support them. The results of the article can be used by public authorities when planning other activities that are expected to have a positive impact on regional development.

The article studies theoretical and methodological bases of the strategic management of the development of administrative territories, considers the essence of strategic management and formulates the advantages of using it in management of administrative territory. Based on the analysis of the key provisions of the EU regional policy, the strategy of “smart specialization” is considered as the most common approach to territorial development. Using the experience of the countries of the European Union as a basis, a BPMN diagram, describing the conceptual bases for the formation of a competitive territory strategy, was built. Practical approaches to the formation of strategies for the development of administrative territories operating in Ukraine, regulatory acts, in particular, that had a direct impact on the formation of the existing model of strategic territorial management, were analyzed. The main requirements to the content of the strategic plan were considered and the list of key provisions and analytical methods (socio-economic analysis, comparative analysis, SWOT-analysis, PESTLE-analysis, sociological analysis) was formulated. Using the comparative legal analysis of the experience of the European Union as a basis, a number of features can be highlighted that must be taken into account in the process of forming the administrative territory development strategy.

The role and importance of cross-border regions is in the focus of scientific research for a long ago. The theory' of spatial interactions of different actors is an issue of different scientific fields. From the practical side, the regional policy of the European Union has a wide set of instruments for these special - often periferic, underdeveloped, or even in capability for being pioneer of development - areas. With long peace years and expansion of touristic flows, tourist regions models appeared in the tourism geography literature. However, only a few models of cross-border tourist regions are known, and surprisingly most of them are based on North American evidence. We summarize these results with special attention to F.uropean experiences and offer new interdisciplinary research area.

An important factor and the inescapable link of the globalization process are economic integrations, which by the liberalization of trade flows contributes significantly to the interconnection of countries, thus directly affecting the enhancement of the value of macroeconomic parameters at the level of the formed integration. The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of economic integration on the example of ASEAN, NAFTA and MERCOSUR integration, which, along with the European Union, represent the most relevant integrations in the world. The analysis showed, as a consequence of the integration, increased volume of trade exchange, increased FDI level and achieved real economic growth on the level of integration. However, the analysis has shown, in particular in the ASEAN area, that there is still a problem of uneven distribution of income and fairer implementation of regional policy, in order to integrate growth generated into the development of less developed areas.
