This paper presents the regional economic relations between Turkey and Black See Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC). The Heads of State and Government of eleven countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine signed the Summit Declaration and the Bosphorus Statement giving birth to the Black Sea Economic Cooperation on 25 June 1992, in Istanbul. On 5 June 1998, the Heads of State or Government signed the BSEC Charter, came into force on 1 May 1999 BSEC has evolved into an international regional organization for economic cooperation. The organization has 12 members since Serbia joining the organization in 2004. It came into existence as a unique and promising model of multilateral political and economic initiative aimed at fostering interaction and harmony among the Member States, as well as to ensure peace, stability and prosperity encouraging friendly and good-neighbourly relations in the Black Sea region. Countries bordering the Black Sea, Balkan and Caucasus formed the BSEC countries cover an area of approximately 20 million square kilometer and represent more than 350 million people. The region with the foreign trade volume of U.S. $ 300 billion per year draws attention to the rich natural resources; and is the main European energy and transport corridor transfer. The Black Sea region is a contested neighbourhood and the subject of intense debates and conflicts in the globe. Also, this reflects the changing dynamics of the Black Sea region, its complex realities, the interests of outsiders and the region’s relations with the rest of the globe. Moreover, its strategic position, linking north to south and east to west, as well as its oil, gas, transport and trade routes are all important reasons for its increasing relevance. Turkey's foreign trade volume with BSEC member countries is steadily increasing as per the findings over the period of 1996-2012.

Happiness shows as an important sociological category. Starting from Aristotle, happiness has traditionally been conceptualized in European reflection as the main goal of human life, as a result of human development (eudaimonic interpretation). At the same time, a simplified understanding of happiness as a subjective complex of sensations (hedonistic interpretation) has formed in the history of sociology. The article focuses on the relevance of the issue of happiness as a subject of sociological research. The concept of happiness has been interpreted as a particularly significant, key indicator that combines the subjective and objective characteristics of the humanˊs life-world as an integral part of society. Modern empirical techniques that allow us to reach a new level of understanding the role of happiness in human life are evaluated by us. The article contains the results of a secondary analysis of the sociological dimensions of happiness carried out in Ukraine in recent years, including in the context of the study of values and value orientations. According to research results, the negative events taking place in Ukraine in recent years did not directly affect on self-assessments of a feeling of happiness. This can be explained by the lack of formation of the “concept of happiness” among Ukrainians (Y. Golovakha), as well as the prevalence of family values in the general hierarchy of values. The results of a questionnaire conducted at the Department of Sociology of the Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University in May 2018 have been published and analyzed. According to our data, the vast majority of residents of the three centers of the Black Sea region (Mykolaiv, Odessa, Kherson) consider themselves happy people. At the same time, the feeling of happiness among the residents of the region is due to a greater extent to personal factors and is not directly related to the well-being of society. This can be regarded as a dangerous trend, one of the symptoms of the growing atomization of society.

The Black Sea region is an area of the intersection of both regional and global players’ interests. This region concentrates at the same time a number of frozen interstate conflicts. The concept of the research assumes the possibility of smoothing geopolitical tension by means of strengthening economic relations of the countries. The Black Sea region during the Post-Soviet period was characterized by the absence of an obvious leader in the region, manifestation of interstate contradictions and also orientation of the countries to the global geopolitical poles standing in opposition to each other. All the factors mentioned above have been significantly reducing the interaction potential during the last 25 years. The aim of the research was to study the current state, factors and problems of the economic integration in the Black Sea region. The research was based on the analysis of scientific approaches to studying interactions in the region and on the quantitative analysis of the current level of trade and economy, as well as infrastructural and communicative interrelation of economies. The article shows the importance of infrastructural and trade interrelation of economies as a factor of smoothening geopolitical interaction. The author makes the conclusion about significant influence of the geopolitical factor in the long-term cooperation in the Black Sea region. The paper defines the instruments of strengthening the connectivity of macro region countries in the economic sphere. The economic cooperation in the Black Sea region is presented as a long-term and stable platform for both economic growth and smoothening modern conflicts in the region.

At this stage of development of Ukraine’s economy it is necessary to analyze the nature and characteristics of investment in the national economy. To increase the investment attractiveness of Ukraine requires systematization of investment characteristics. Due to the lack of investment, the classification of types of investments will help the economic development of Ukraine. There are also quite different definitions of investment, which is of great importance for the investment development of Ukraine. It is necessary to analyze and generalize scientific approaches to create a definition of “investment”. Intensification of foreign investment helps the development of industry, agro-industrial complex, education, science, social protection and more. It is extremely important to intensify foreign investment in the Black Sea (southern) Region, namely in Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kherson and Donetsk regions. After all, all these areas participate in the Black Sea Basin program. Therefore, the problems of the essence and features of investments of the national economy become relevant, the analysis of these problems will increase the investment attractiveness of Ukraine and its regions. The article analyzes the scientific approaches to defining the category of ‘investment” by different authors, as well as related concepts that are directly related to this category. The signs of investments are systematized. Based on the analysis and generalization of scientific approaches, the definition of the category “investment” is proposed. Based on the analysis of statistical data, the growth of foreign direct investment in the economy of the Black Sea Region of Ukraine was revealed. Taking into account the statistical data, it is investigated that there is almost no increase in the volume of foreign investment per unit of national currency (hryvnia) of the gross regional product (GRP) in the Black Sea Region of Ukraine. It is considered that the growth of foreign investment per capita is low in the Black Sea Region of Ukraine, which requires attracting new foreign investment in the Black Sea Region of Ukraine, support small and medium enterprises in the Black Sea Region of Ukraine.

Analytical Estimation

The article analyzes the level of socio-economic development of the Black Sea region, which is determined by the structure of the economy, which has a direct impact on the dominance of a particular type of economic activity. A statistical analysis of the structure of the economy of the Black Sea region on the basis of grouped data by type of economic activity for the period 2013-2019 by indicators: the number of enterprises; number of employees at enterprises; pre-tax financial results; volume of sold products (goods, services) of enterprises. The rating assessment of types of economic activity of the regions of the Black Sea region according to the structure of the Classifier of Types of Economic Activity in 2019 is constructed. The priority types of economic activity of the regions of the region are revealed. Particular attention is paid to cost indicators that characterize the volume of production and income of enterprises in the region, the definition of factors that affect the development of each activity in the region. This is necessary because the description of the structure of the region's economy for each of these indicators will be different, and this necessitates a comparison of the structure of the economy of regions located in the same natural and climatic conditions, similar in historical development with the same administrative-territorial division. The results of the structural analysis showed that the dominant classifiers of economic activity in the Black Sea region are agriculture, forestry and fisheries; wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles; industry; transport, warehousing, postal and courier activities. At the same time, a significant share of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in Mykolayiv and Kherson oblasts significantly exceeds the rest in terms of the number of enterprises in the industry and employees. Kherson region is also significantly distinguished by the financial results of enterprises in the region, which receive income from agriculture at the level of 67.7%. In the Odessa region, the transport industry prevails, namely logistics and warehousing. Thus, it can be argued that the Black Sea region has significant development potential in priority areas.
