The article substantiates the objective necessity of introducing cross-border medical clusters in the euroregions of Ukraine. Clusters are a community of firms, closely related industries that complement each other and contribute to the growth of their competitiveness, and thus they serve as "points of growth" in the development of the domestic market and the economy of the euroregions. Innovative development of the world economy, associated with progressive changes in technology and in the forms and methods of labor organization, requires new approaches to production management and significant expenditures of material, intellectual and financial resources. In modern theories of development, more and more attention is paid to problematic issues of organizational and economic classification. This will improve the level of health, maintain social stability in society, and improve the quality of medical care to the level of world standards, optimizing public spending. Innovation clusters have become the object of close attention due to the increasing role of innovation in the competition of global markets for medical services. The cross-border medical cluster provides for the creation of a strategic unit in the structure of the euroregion, which will coordinate the implementation of the strategy for the development of medical tourism, improving the collection and processing of information on incoming tourists, conducting a promotional campaign of the city in key markets and improving the tourist infrastructure and measures to support it. This type of cluster is particularly relevant for Ukraine, which has taken a course to modernize the national economy based on the priority development of high-tech and high-tech industries. Diversification of the economy of the Euroregions through the cluster approach is one of the main solutions to this problem. High-quality provision of medical services, the creation of joint clinics, can become one of the ways to diversify the economy, using the growing potential of cross-border cooperation and the flow of medical tourists.

The general regulatory framework is aimed at creating elements of innovation clusters as legal entities; special aimed at regulating issues of innovation and intellectual property.At the same time, the basic principles of creation and functioning of the legal framework governing the issues of innovation clusters are highlighted: systematicity, accessibility and legality.In the article it is stated that legislative regulation, covering the issues of the functioning of the innovation clusters is incomplete and fragmented, which in turn impedes the full, strategic and cost-effective development of innovation clusters. Hence, the author advices to propose the legislator to regulate the investigated issue at the level of a separate legal act.Besides proper legislative framework, the author pays attention to the necessity of the attraction of budgetary and extra-budgetary funding, including facilitating the participation of clusters in competitions and events conducted by state and regional development institutes, state authorities and local self-government bodies. It is also obvious that there is a need of facilitating the promotion and sale of innovative products of cluster participants in the domestic and world markets; implementation of projects of cluster participants with involvement of state and regional development institutes.At the end of the research the author generates the basic directions of improvement of the policy of legal regulation of the cluster innovation system of Ukraine, proposes concrete measures in the direction of its improvement and modernization.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
