scholarly journals Management of sustainable territorial development applying regional clusters model of M. Enright

The purpose of the article is socio-geographical and economic justification of trends, models, mechanisms and priorities for improving managerial system of natural economic systems and territorial economic complexes in the context of decentralization based on adaptation of the clusters model of M. Enright. Main material. Mechanism for managing united territorial communities` natural and economic systems development to ensure sustainable geospatial development of territories based on the example of Kherson region has been applied in the article. It has been proven that the effectiveness of reforms’ progress can be ensured by further consolidation of united territorial communities (UTC) and their clustering. Moreover, the clusters can go outside current administrative districts` boundary, which since 2017 has been fully regulated by the law. To prove the mechanism of UTCs consolidation, it has been proposed to use the model of regional clusters of M. Enright, which was adapted for united territorial communities. To determine the prospects for further UTCs consolidation in Kherson region, followed by the definition of economically proved new zoning, the cluster analysis has been applied. The following criteria for clustering have been chosen: income per capita; own income per capita; infrastructure subsidy per capita. Conclusions. Socio-geographical and economic reasons for the reforming tools of the administrative-territorial system based on the example of Kherson region have revealed and substantiated the relevance of cluster approach in the process of UTCs and their associations` formation. UTCs associations aim to stimulate their development, rationally use available and potential resources, to ensure joint investment activities and project-management. It has been proposed to implement UTCs consolidation on the basis of cluster approach. Clustering, as the example of Kherson region, has been carried out based on the key socio-economic indicators per capita, namely: own incomes, infrastructure subsidy and basic / reverse subsidy. This allowed us to identify and map clusters of the formed UTCs and identify prospects for area without UTCs incorporation (within relevant village councils). UTCs consolidation was based on the characteristics of capacity, self-sufficiency, sustainable development, territorial and functional balance of community interests. This will allow to develop methodological and procedural recommendations for strategic documents at UTC level. Their relevance will be increased in the context of climate change and tackling national economic crisis.

The aim of the article is to examine efficiency of the decentralization process` potential and the conditions for the formation of financially capable and self-sufficient united territorial communities (UTCs) on the basis of sustainable development of territories and national economy alike. Main material. Efficiency of the decentralization process in Zaporizhzhia region has been analyzed in the article. The methodology of UTCs clustering by the level of their financial capacity applying statistical indicators of relative frequency and frequency with the subsequent determination of the confidence interval for mean observations (with probability of 0.95) has been proposed. The following have been chosen as the clustering criteria: income per capita; personal income per capita; infrastructure grant per capita and development expenditure (capital expenditure) per capita. Each set was divided into three groups: the first group of UTCs is from the minimum value to the lower limit of the confidence interval; the second group of UTCs is within the confidence interval; the third group of UTCs is above the upper limit of the confidence interval. It has been found out that the main determinants of UTCs formation of financial capacity and self-sufficiency are the following: natural-geographical (land, forest, water, mineral, biological, energy) and socio-economic (material, financial, human and intangible) resources. Econometric modeling of financial capacity level of UTCs in Zaporizhzhia region has been conducted. Conclusions and further research. The methodology of UTCs clustering by the level of their financial capacity according to the following criteria has been proposed: income per capita; personal income per capita; infrastructure grant per capita and development expenditure (capital expenditure) per capita. It has been used to evaluate efficiency of the decentralization process in Zaporizhzhia region. The main determinants of UTCs financial capacity and self-sufficiency formation has been proved. Regression econometric models have been built to evaluate its development potential and forecasting for UTCs of Zaporizhzhia region. The authors have proved that nowadays there are territories facing the process of UTCs formation. It has been demonstrated in the study that the complex potential of territorial development, namely, natural and socio-economic potentials, should be the basis for the further UTCs formation. The gradients (as the territorially defined set of opportunities) of the complex development potential will form UTCs administrative delimitation (territorial coverage). UTCs will have characteristics like economic capacity and efficient development based on the resources`, interests` and competitiveness` harmony. It has been proved that in the further process of decentralization it is advantageous to carry out UTCs clustering. UTCs should become clusters` centers of gravity (clusters` cores) as they have reached satisfactory financial capacity and selfsufficiency at the voluntary stage of decentralization.

The objective of the article was to determine the orientations of the development of the economic regions of Ukraine in relation to their complex provision with resources and economic-geographic position. Management of territorial development as a sphere of economic-geographic activity includes formation of regional statistics, social-economic zoning, geoexpertise and geoinformatics. They allow assessment of the economic regions as regional economic systems taking into account the impact of local peculiarities on economic activity. Territorial systems of different types have both common and specific peculiarities. Correlation and interaction of these systems increase as the productive forces develop and are manifested to a higher extent within economic regions. An economic region is a fundamental regional structure which has a certain economic self-sufficiency and property of self-organization. Economic-geographic prediction is one of three types of geographic forecasting along with physical-geographic and geoeconomic. Economic-geographic forecasting determines the possible condition of a territorial social-economic system in the future. To ensure greater reliability of economicgeographic forecasts, it is suggested that one takes into account not only the economic-geographic, but also the geopolitical position of a region. To the traditional components of economic-geographic position of region, such components are also added as financialgeographic position and innovation-geographic position. The abovementioned theoretical economic-geographic bases allowed assessment of the condition and potential for the development of the economic regions of Ukraine, and also prediction of possible scenarios of their development. The results of the study enabled us to suggest particular measures of an economic-geographic character in relation to Carpathian, Volyn, North-East, Podillia, Prydniprovsky, Prychornomorsky, East and Central-Ukrainian economic regions.

Reducing the level of interregional differentiation is one of the problems in spatial development management according to the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation. Presence of significant regional imbalances hampers formation of a common economic, social, cultural, and institutional space and lead to a creation of backward territories which lag behind in the development. The focus of public policy measures on the centers of economic growth, with the concentration of financial and labor resources, without solving the problems of backward territories does not bring the expected effect – overall development and well-being. Local effects in the absence of positive changes in other territories result in the increase in imbalances, which limit the overall effectiveness of the public policy. At the same time, a steadily increasing lag may cause a loss of potential of economic growth and thus forms backward territories. The creation of territorial backwardness is a gradual process. Therefore, diagnosing the state of the territory and identifying the signs of increasing depression is an essential issue of public administration. The article presents the main approaches to the definition of territorial backwardness used in the Russia and overseas, it also reviews the determinants of backward territories. Different methods for identification of backwardness in the territorial development have been tested on the basis of the regions of the Russian Far East.

The aim of the study was to unveil the specifics of consumer behavior on the certified baby food market, in particular with regard to their determinants. A questionnaire was used as a tool to conduct this study. A unique nature of the relationship between the buyer and the consumer on the market (a mother and a child) could have influenced the results obtained. Price is not the key determinant of behavior of buyers on the market. In addition, there is no correlation between the net income per capita and household expenditure on certified baby food.

AbstractNew data on Dutch and British GDP/capita show that at no time prior to 1750, perhaps not before 1800, did the leading countries of northwestern Europe enjoy sustained strong growth in GDP/capita. Such growth in income per head as did occur was highly episodic, concentrated in a few decades and then followed by long periods of stagnation of income per head. Moreover, at no time before 1800 did the leading economies of northwestern Europe reach levels of income per capita much different from peak levels achieved hundreds of years earlier in the most developed regions of Italy and China. When the Industrial Revolution began in Britain, it was not preceded by patterns of pre-modern income growth that were in any way remarkable, neither by sustained prior growth in real incomes nor exceptional levels of income per head. The Great Divergence, seen as the onset of sustained increases in income per head despite strong population growth, and achievement of incomes beyond pre-modern peaks, was a late occurrence, arising only from 1800.

Abstract As the global crisis triggered by the COVID-19 virus unfolded, The Economist magazine published a cover in May 2020 titled “Goodbye globalization: the dangerous lure of self-sufficiency.” The title summed up well the new political interest in the ideology of national economic self-sufficiency in the pandemic context. Unfortunately, contemporary textbooks in the field of international political economy (IPE) say little about this kind of “autarkic” thought. No survey of the history of autarkic thought exists even within specialist IPE literature or in the fields of intellectual history and the history of economic thought. Filling this gap in existing scholarship, this article highlights a rich history of autarkic thought that includes the ideas of famous thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Fichte, Mohandas Gandhi, and John Maynard Keynes. Three core rationales for a high degree of national self-sufficiency have been advanced in the past: (1) insulation from foreign economic influence, (2) insulation from foreign political and/or cultural influence, and (3) the promotion of international peace. At the same time, considerable disagreements have existed among autarkists about some of these rationales and their relative importance, as well as about the precise meaning of national self-sufficiency. These disagreements stemmed not just from differences in their specific goals but also from the different conditions across time and space in which autarkic thought was developed. In addition to improving understanding of the autarkic ideological tradition, this article contributes to emerging scholarship attempting to overcome Western-centrism in IPE scholarship as well as literature exploring the new politics of de-globalization in the current era.
