This article examines the transition process from a strategy of unbalanced regional development to a strategy of coordinated regional development in China. A number of national strategies and strategic plans for regional development aimed at reducing inter-regional differentiation have been analysed. The paper aims to provide a comprehensive case study of China’s experience in implementing strategic planning to reduce inter-regional economic differentiation. Using the methodology of systems and strategic analysis, the authors analysed the main directions of national strategic regional planning to reduce inter-regional economic differentiation in China. The advantages and disadvantages of approaches to reducing inter-regional economic differentiation have been identified and recommendations for their improvement have been developed. National strategic planning for regional development is an important tool of regional policy to reduce inter-regional economic differentiation. It is necessary to concentrate efforts on ensuring consistency between the central government and local authorities, coordinating different areas of planning and their consistency, and developing a market mechanism.

Strategic planning of the region is an important and effective method of building a rational system of mechanisms for state management of regional development. The development of a regional strategy makes it possible to identify the reserves of the systemic development of territories, which contributes to the economic growth of the country. Within the framework of strategic planning for the development of the territory, the most acute problem is the forecasting of macroeconomic indicators on which the subsequent strategic plans and programs of the region are based. In this regard, the issues of forecasting indicators and assessing potential risks are highly relevant. The study is aimed to develop a tool for predicting the social-and-economic parameters of the regional system in order to build effective strategic plans for regional development within the framework of the concept of ensuring the sustainability and economic security of the territory. The authors propose an approach based on the delta-normal method for calculating a quantitative risk measure. The approach is adapted to solve the problem of probabilistic assessment of indicators of the state of the system and risks and allows to determine the ranges of changes in the predicted indicator of the gross regional product of the region, considering the probable increments of factor indicators. The results of applying the developed approach may be used as the basis for strategic planning of measures to manage sustainability, economic security and dynamics of the territory’s development.

The evolutionary changes of the paradigms of the economic development of the region are investigated in the context of theories: neo-classical and theory of regional economic development, Keynesian theory, theory of monetarism, theory of economic rationalism, theories of comparative, competitive and common advantages, theories of globalization, sustainable development, selfdevelopment and endogenous development, new theory of growth. The role of innovations in the analyzed paradigmatic shifts, as well as the essence of regional innovation policy are determined. The analysis of the evolution of the paradigms of regional economic development revealed the following qualitative changes: the expansion of the production function with such variables as technology, training, entrepreneurship; Attribution to the factors of regional development, along with economic factors, as well as social, cultural and institutional factors; The characteristic of the development of the economy by its ability to generate innovation; Transformation of technologies, science and innovations into development catalysts in a new era of industry; Inclusion of social and environmental components into the strategic planning of economic development, the emergence of an integrated strategic planning of regional development; Moving the focus of regional strategic planning towards competitive advantages based on less intrusive factors such as efficiency, productivity, quality indicators; Transformation of comparative and competitive advantages towards common advantages that stimulate enterprises and regions to collaborate and innovate; Giving the state the role of companion and entrepreneur in regional economic development; The development of local innovative ecosystems on the basis of endogenous factors and with the preservation of its global orientation (the process of glocalization); Defining a human-oriented strategy of state development as the basis of an innovative society, which respects human rights and freedoms, and decent living conditions for people are the goal of development.

The increasing interest in a strategic approach to space arrangement at all levels, and particularly on the intra and interregional level, as well as the changes in the area of spatial and regional planning, are some of the basic characteristics of theoretical and practical activities and efforts undertaken and realized in the field of organization and arrangement of space in the European Union during recent decades. Strategic planning gained importance in the framework of those changes, particularly owing to the growth of the environmental complex and sustainable growth planning, but also because of the need for a higher security of markets and states. Strategic spatial planning can be defined as a quite diverse planning activity. It is considered that 'new' strategic planning will not represent a return to comprehensive planning, but will rather be a combination of traditional and new approaches to planning of sustainable development where an integrative role will be progressively assumed by spatial and regional plans and programs. Apart from a review of the development of strategic planning, this paper considers the importance and role of strategic planning as a mechanism of regional development and 'new' regional politics, based on the contemporary development of critical thinking and practical experiences in the European Union.

Introduction. The strategic goals of socio-economic development of the regions of Ukraine, which were set in numerous concepts, strategies, programs and other strategic documents, both at the state and regional levels, were not achieved. This is due to the lack of interconnectedness of these documents, the mechanism of control over their implementation and inconsistency with the real needs of the regions. Goal. The aim of the study is to reveal the organization of strategic planning of regional development in France, Germany, USA, Canada and Japan, which may become the basis for further, more thorough, strategic planning of regional development in Ukraine. Results. The creation and implementation of the French regional development strategy is seen as an ongoing process with an emphasis on restructuring the regions, maximizing their potential, supporting small and medium-sized businesses by coordinating the state plan with private business and coordinating their interests with the state. Considerable attention is paid to the ecological component of development at the meso level. The main requirements of strategic planning in Germany are: consensus of economic interests of major regional stakeholders; identification of specific participants in the strategic planning process, coordinators and users of the achieved results; establishing clear priorities in the development of the territory provided with resources; the adequacy of the coordinator's organizational structure in relation to the process of achieving the stated goals in the strategic plan. Strategic planning of regional development in the United States is based on total computerization, based on a single network of nine economic regions of the country, which is the basis for a comprehensive approach to regulating regional development in accordance with national strategy, establishing the format of effective plans and reports and procedures. in case of non-compliance, personal responsibility for achieving results. In Canada, it is important in strategic planning to test the tools provided for in the strategic plan in certain territorial areas of administrative entities. The mechanism for implementing strategic planning in Japan is based on a strong focus on achieving group goals, whereby the central government determines the range of tools for regional development, regional bodies are responsible for its implementation, and private business plans its activities based on national strategy indicators. Improving foreign experience should be built taking into account the specifics of our country.

Three levels of planning can be distinguished in grassland farming: strategic, tactical and operational. The purpose of strategic planning is to achieve a sustainable long-term fit of the farm business with its physical, social and financial environment. In pastoral farming, this essentially means developing plans that maximise and best match pasture growth with animal demand, while generating sufficient income to maintain or enhance farm resources and improvements, and attain personal and financial goals. Strategic plans relate to the whole farm business and are focused on the means to achieve future needs. They should be routinely (at least annually) reviewed and monitored for effectiveness through key performance indicators (e.g., Economic Farm Surplus) that enable progress toward goals to be measured in a timely and cost-effective manner. Failure to link strategy with control is likely to result in unfulfilled plans. Keywords: management, performance

In this article the significance of wellbeing research in the regional level in Lithuania has been analyzed, the advantages and disadvantages of the objective and subjective wellbeing research have been evaluated. The results of the analysis of wellbeing research reveal that the wellbeing research in the regional level is poorly amplified, the wellbeing research in the social sciences is not marked, the wellbeing is investigated in other fields not in social sciences or according to the aims of the researher and more often causes and outcomes of social economical inequality for regional development are emphasized. Scientific studies show that wellbeing research can have big influence for shaping the future of regions because it concerns local people, their choices and overall wellbeing of a particular region. Findings from foreign countries good practice disclose that wellbeing is currently widely used as a key factor and trend for the development policy evaluation. Accordingly in this article big attention is drawn to wellbeing research possible effect for policymakers. It can be concluded that wellbeing research should become an important discussion object in the regional development context because it reveals the situation about people overall wellbeing and particular life domains. The main aim of this article is to analyse the importance of wellbeing research to regional level in Lithuania. The research problem of this article is the fact that the poor experience of wellbeing research in Lithuania insufficiently reveals the wellbeing expression and use in the regional level. In the research common research methods like analysis and synthesis of the scientific literature, analysis of documents and comparative analysis have been employed.

Utilities today must adapt quickly to complex changes in workforce, infrastructure, technology, and regulations, as well as outside factors of the economy, security issues, and societal trends. Linear, cause-and-effect strategic planning does not work well in today's world. Given these uncertainties, how can utilities develop meaningful and useful strategic plans? Faced with these challenges, a group of 18 leading international utilities, assisted through IWA, has developed new ways of strategic planning. This project, sponsored by AwwaRF and conducted by EMA, has created a dynamic and flexible strategic planning framework. A new framework, coupled with many of these utilities' experiences in strategic planning, is the subject of this paper.

The role of the state in economic development is one of the oldest topics in economics, yet controversies rage with similar passion and camps are divided on lines today broadly similar to the early writings. Though the authors of the papers in this symposium present different views, they all refuse to pose the question as a simple choice between the market mechanism and state intervention. Larry Westphal and Albert Fishlow evaluate the South Korean and the Latin American experience, respectively, in their essential complexity. Mrinal Datta-Chaudhuri draws upon a comparative study of the Indian and East Asian cases to bring out the contradictions and complementaries in the relationship between the state and the economy. Anne Krueger's paper reflects on how the comparative advantages and disadvantages of state action flow from its organizational and incentive characteristics.
