The democratic choice of Ukraine was enshrined in most documents that determined the strategic directions of development of the state and society from the moment of gaining independence of the state. Nevertheless, the real progress of Ukraine on the way remains the subject of discussion. The real state of development of the institutions of a democratic society makes it doubtful that the country has passed the stage of consolidation in its democratic transit. The observed trends allow many international organizations to characterize the current state of development of the country's political system as hybrid. At the same time, experts observe the demodernization of the country and the ongoing degradation of the main political, civilian institutions. The article analyzes the features of the hybrid regime in Ukraine. An attempt is being made to determine how the real state of development of democracy corresponds to the state of public sentiment, expectations and political values. Using the provisions of the congruence theory, the author makes assumptions about the political consequences of the ongoing disagreement between the interests of society and political elites. The author concludes that the current state of development requires focused efforts of the state and political elites aimed at stimulating political convictions, emancipatory values that will dominate the mass consciousness, contributing to the progress of political modernization and overcoming the “rollbacks” in democratization. The implementation of a policy of macro-political identity, in which emancipation values will be reflected, can help to overcome demodernization tendencies and further advance Ukraine on the path of democratic transit.

The article describes the various levels of legal regulation of the grain market in Ukraine and abroad, that is, grain export to other countries. We are talking specifically about legal acts of various legal force: from subordinate normative legal acts to international conventions. This research also reveals the issues of the current state of the grain market in Ukraine from growing grain to selling it both domestically and abroad. The process of production and sale of grain covers a large number of entities that conduct their activities: subjects of growing, storage of grain, various government authorities and specialized institutions that contribute to the development of such a market and provide minimum guarantees from the state for the relevant entities to carry out their economic activities. The state, realizing the importance of this institution, which contributes to an increase in the State budget of Ukraine, establishes the appropriate standards that govern the procedure for growing grain, its storage and sale. As you can see, the processes are complex, respectively, and the legal regulation of such processes covers a large number of regulatory legal acts. That is, the state controls this issue and sets the rules of the game. Realizing the importance of such processes, one cannot but pay attention to the state support of the grain market. Thus, the relevant specialized institutions can provide financial support to grain producers on a refundable or non-refundable basis, at the level of the law, a simplified taxation system and preferential customs tariffs have been established. That is, at the state level, certain steps are being taken that contribute to the development of the grain market in Ukraine. The work also analyzes the international legal acts to which Ukraine is a party, their impact on state policy and on the grain market itself, as well as the prospects for the development of such a market.

The article provides insights into the nature of tax policy of the EU member states and Ukraine. A comprehensive analysis of the current state of tax revenues in Ukraine and in the EU countries has been made. In particular, their size was estimated which revealed the critical need for optimization and reformation of the Ukrainian tax system to increase tax revenues and spur the GDP enhancement. The research problems and objectives have been attained and accomplished through application of the following research methods: a comparative analysis – to assess the current state of tax revenues in the EU and Ukraine; scientific synthesis and systematization – to identify and group the incentive instruments to foster Ukraine's fiscal policy towards European integration. The share of state budget revenues and the share of tax revenues to the state budget are considered and analyzed. Recommendations on increasing tax revenues and raising the GDP level in Ukraine in the context of European best practice have been developed. It is argued that the state should not increase tax rates thus encouraging tax evasion but build a system of legal restrictions on government fiscal policy along with delivering a mutually agreed, comprehensive improvement of all structural elements of the tax system.

In modern conditions, the role of transparency of both public and local finances is growing significantly, which is a tool to increase the efficiency of financial resources, which confirms the analysis of Ukrainian and foreign studies. In Ukraine, the level of transparency is improving every year and as of 2019 is assessed by international organizations as the minimum allowable. At the same time, the level of transparency of local budgets differs significantly in different regions. To improve the situation and implement best practices in the field of transparency of public finances at both the state and local levels, it is important to analyze the foreign experience of those countries that are leaders in ratings of transparency of public authorities and transparency of the budget process. The paper analyzes the experience of the Office of the Public Accountant of Texas (USA), the Treasury of New Zealand, and the Treasury of the Republic of South Africa, which according to the open budget rating provided by the International Budget Partnership are among the 10 most transparent countries. Analysis of the content of the information portal of the Texas Public Accounts Controller Office showed a separate section “Transparency” with a detailed presentation of information in terms of key blocks of revenues and expenditures, state budget and finances, information on the formation and use of funds in all localities, information on budget deficit as well as information on transparency at the level of individual settlements, school districts, etc. A comparative analysis with the state of transparency of Ukrainian government agencies responsible for the development and implementation of fiscal policy and identifies weaknesses and strengths in terms of their transparency. It is established that the openness of the process of using public finances in Ukraine is gradually increasing, while the positions in the world transparency rating are also improving. However, the conceptual difference between building sites in the countries analyzed is that they report to taxpayers in a form that is accessible to them, rather than simply covering available information without comment or explanation.

The reason is because the DAU is the largest component of balance funds, namely the lack of 26% of the net domestic income in the state budget the amount of DAU scheme is not limiting, because it can only grow with the size of the authority delegated to the regions.

Pastaraisiais metais Lietuvoje vis labiau diskutuojama dėl politinėms partijoms skiriamų valstybės biu­džeto lėšų, jų didinimo, kontroliavimo ar... areštavimo. Politinės partijos yra tas subjektas, kuris atlieka mediaciją tarp valstybės ir visuomenės. Valstybė yra tuo suinteresuota, todėl skiria joms tam tikrą finan­sinę paramą, tarsi laikydamasi romėniškos maksimos do ut des. Korupcinių grėsmių požiūriu valstybės biudžeto lėšos yra patikimiausias politinių partijų finansavimo šaltinis, tačiau čia taip pat slypi pavojus, jog politinės partijos praras savo prigimtį ir taps kvazivalstybinėmis organizacijomis, atitrūkusiomis nuo visuomenės grupių ir jų „natūralaus“ suinteresuotumo finansiškai paremti joms priimtinas politines pro­gramas ir jų įgyvendintojus. Turint tai omenyje, šiame straipsnyje analizuojami Lietuvos politinių partijų finansavimo iš valstybės biu­džeto būdai ir formos. Remiantis kitų Europos valstybių patirtimi, atskleidžiami diskutuotini pasirinkto valstybinio politinių partijų finansavimo modelio aspektai, neproporcingos viešosios paramos proble­matika. Be to, pateikiamos rekomendacijos tobulinti reglamentavimą, kurio inicijuotos pataisos „įstrigo“ parlamentinėje procedūroje arba po priėmimo netapo reikiamai veiksmingomis. In Lithuania the funds from the state budget assigned to political parties, its growth, control and... arrest have become a topic of increasing debate over the last years. Political parties are the subject who performs mediation between the state and the society. The state is interested in the abovementioned function and therefore it assigns particular financial support to political parties as if conferred with the Roman maxim do ut des. At the standpoint of threats of corruption the state budget allocations are the most reliable source of funding for political parties, however, there is a risk that political parties will be deprived of their nature and turn into quasi governmental organisations that have lost touch with groups of the society and their „genuine” interest to support beneficial political programmes and their executers financially. While taking this into account the article deals with the ways and forms of financing the political parties from the state budget. Arguable issues of the model chosen by the state to fund political parties and the proble­matics of non proportionate public support are revealed in the article with reference to the experience of Eu­ropean states. Moreover, recommendations how to improve legal regulation whose initiated amendments „stuck“ in the parliamentary procedure or did not become due effective after their adoption are provided.
