Effect Relation

Despite its dominant positive elements and phenomena, tourism (especially mass tourism) is increasingly experiencing the opposite side of the coin i.e. contradictory and negative elements, both in theory and in practice. In this work, we give a detailed and systematic report on all the positive, as well as the negative and unfavourable social and economic functions of tourism. Light is shed on both the cause and effect relation in tourism and the negative, contradictory and conflicting elements and manifestations in tourism. To this end, we have made a theoretical classification (based on foreign and domestic literature, as well as our own contributions) of all conflicting and negative functions and phenomena through 3 contingent spheres. These are: (1) the social and cultural domain, (2) the ecological domain and (3) the economic and organisational domain. By applying a social and economic method o f research, the author lists and corroborates the interdependence, consistancy and growing potentiality of contradicting, conflicting and crisis processes which tourism, in its present level of development, is forced to deal with. In conclusion to our research, we have proposed possible, favourable solutions which could secure the survival and long-term outlook of the tourism industry. These are: the role of the human factor, the need to enrichen and redesign mass tourism and above all, the importance of the new orientation towards SELECTIVE tourism or tourism of continuous development.

Political Turmoil

The Ukrainian socio-economic crisis has been developing for years and resulted in the open socio-political turmoil and armed conflict. The Ukrainian population didn’t meet objectives of the post-Soviet transformation, and people were disillusioned for years, losing trust in the state and the Future. The role of workers’ remittances in the Ukrainian economy is underestimated, since the personal consumption and stability depend strongly on them. Social inequality, oligarchic control of key national assets contributed to instability as well as regional disparity, aggravated by identity differences. Economic growth is slow due to a long-term underinvestment, and prospects of improvement are dependent on some difficult institutional reforms, macro stability, open external markets and the elites’ consensus. Recovering after socio-economic and political crisis will need not merely time, but also governance quality improvement, institutions reform, the investment climate revival - that can be attributed as the second transformation in Ukraine.

The role of the prominent Soviet economist, academician A. Anchishkin (1933—1987), whose 80th birth anniversary we celebrate this year, in the development of ideas and formation of economic forecasting in the country at the time when the directive planning acted as a leading tool of economic management is explored in the article. Besides, Anchishkin’s special role is noted in developing a comprehensive program of scientific and technical progress, an information basis for working out long-term forecasts of the country’s development, moreover, his contribution to the creation of long-term forecasting methodology and improvement of the statistical basis for economic analysis and economic planning. The authors show that social and economic forecasting in the period after 1991, which has undertaken a number of functions of economic planning, has largely relied on further development of Anchishkin’s ideas, at the same time responding to new challenges for the Russian economy development during its entry into the world economic system.
