In modern-day conditions, sustainable territorial development aims to find additional opportunities for regions to maintain their competitiveness while maximizing the use of available local resources and creating conditions for investment in activities that preserve, maintain and improve the local environment. Activities such as fishing, the production of fishery and aquaculture products; coastal tourism; blue biotechnology fall within the scope of the so-called "blue economy". The Blue growth strategy is focused on the sustainable territorial development of fishing areas by supporting, initiating change and integrating the efforts of all stakeholders to achieve the strategic objectives. The main purpose of this report is to present the results of a survey which examines the attitudes of local business representatives, public administration and academics towards the development of activities in the coastal zone of the Local Fisheries Initiative Group (FLAG) Varna - Beloslav - Aksakovo within the blue economy. On the basis of a future development strategy, strategic areas of development are outlined.

Blue Growth

Terms like blue growth (as well as the blue economy) have become the new buzzword inscribing a new era where the seas are recognized as potential drivers for the European economy. It is nevertheless, through this same logic of limitless economic growth, marine resources have been unsustainably exploited despite numerous institutional attempts to tackle overfishing. The aim of this paper is to point at the contradictions inherent in the objectives of the blue economy, and question the belief that ecological, social and economic targets can be achieved under (blue) growth-centred policies. An analysis of the (failing) policies for a ‘sustainable use of marine resources’ will be conducted and exemplified through an analysis of the main tools the EU has promoted as solutions to the fisheries crisis (sustainable consumption, privatisation of fish, fishing in waters of third countries and marine aquaculture). Additionally, the sectors promoted by the EU's Blue Growth strategy (marine aquaculture, coastal tourism, marine biotechnology, ocean energy and seabed mining) will also be evaluated in order to question this new vision for the seas and the coast. Through the introduction of the concept blue degrowth, this article aims to open up a more critical discussion around the blue growth strategy by highlighting the inherent dangers which lie in such economic strategies.

Blue Growth

European coastline has undergone a transformation in becoming a significant sector of the economy. The economic importance of aquaculture, coastal and maritime tourism, and industry based on oceanic energy is crucial for explaining that transformation. The European ?blue growth? generates employment and economic opportunities but could have major environmental effects on coastal zones. This could become inimical to small-scale fishing and those communities that depend heavily on fishing. This paper studies the Spanish fishers? perceptions to the linkages between the Blue Growth and small-scale fishing. Results show a significantly positive attitude toward potential contribution of blue growth to socioeconomic development and a significantly negative perception on environmental impact of such activities. Interactions are identified as well as possible opportunities that Blue Growth could offer to small-scale fishing. Recommendations for Blue Growth strategy are provided.

Economic Council

The world in its politico-economic aspects is run by policy-makers who have an academic background in law or public administration or other related social disciplines including economics. Only rarely would a majority of the policy-makers be trained in economics. In the making of economic policy, the basic choices before the policy-makers are political and they transcend the narrow concerns of economists regarding optimal use of resources. These considerations in no way downgrade the relevance of economic analysis in economic policy-making and for the training of policy-maker in economics. Policy-makers need economic council to understand fully the implications of alternative policy options. In this book, Wolfson attempts to educate policy-makers in the areas of public finance and development strategy. The analysis avoids technicalities and is kept to a simple level to make it understandable to civil servants, law-makers and members of the executive branch whom Wolfson refers to as policy-makers. Simplicity of analysis is not the only distinguishing mark of this book. Most other books on public finance are usually addressed to traditional public finance issues relating to both the revenue and expenditure sides of the budget and neglect an overall mix of issues dealing with the interaction of fiscal policy with economic development. Wolfson in this book explicitly deals with these issues.

The article studies theoretical and methodological bases of the strategic management of the development of administrative territories, considers the essence of strategic management and formulates the advantages of using it in management of administrative territory. Based on the analysis of the key provisions of the EU regional policy, the strategy of “smart specialization” is considered as the most common approach to territorial development. Using the experience of the countries of the European Union as a basis, a BPMN diagram, describing the conceptual bases for the formation of a competitive territory strategy, was built. Practical approaches to the formation of strategies for the development of administrative territories operating in Ukraine, regulatory acts, in particular, that had a direct impact on the formation of the existing model of strategic territorial management, were analyzed. The main requirements to the content of the strategic plan were considered and the list of key provisions and analytical methods (socio-economic analysis, comparative analysis, SWOT-analysis, PESTLE-analysis, sociological analysis) was formulated. Using the comparative legal analysis of the experience of the European Union as a basis, a number of features can be highlighted that must be taken into account in the process of forming the administrative territory development strategy.

Practical Recommendations

The relevance of this study is determined by the need to improve the tools for developing strategies for the development of territorial socio-economic systems, taking into account the realities of the current stage of development. Among these realities are the formation of the economic space of the region and the limited resources for development, which determined the logic, goal and objectives of this study. The purpose of this study is to develop theoretical, methodological and practical recommendations for the formation of a regional development strategy taking into account the spatial component. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were formulated and solved: clarification of the essence and content of the category "economic space" as the basis for accounting for this category in strategic developments; identification of the features of regional development, taking into account the spatial component; development of principles and prerequisites for regional strategy taking into account the spatial component of development; formation of a scheme for accounting for the spatial component in the development of strategies for multi-level territorial entities; development and testing of a modified model of resource provision for territorial development strategies as an updated toolkit for regional strategy. The novelty of the results of this study lies in the development of theoretical, methodological and practical recommendations for using the spatial component in the formation of a regional development strategy, which, unlike existing developments, allow taking into account the properties and characteristics of economic space when developing a block for the distribution of territorial resources and thereby provide conditions for increasing the resulting parameters multilevel territorial entities and the region as a whole.

During the years of independence in Ukraine, a certain set of investment instruments of state governance for regional development has been created: state and regional target programs, regional development agreements, agreements on implementation of interregional projects, programs for overcoming the state of depression, the State Fund for Regional Development (DFRD), and others. However, their level of performance is quite low.Notwithstanding the provisions of the State Strategy for Regional Development for the period up to 2020, regional development agreements and programs to overcome the state of depression of the territory are not implemented at all. The use of the DFRR in the "manual mode" reduces the role of the fund in solving the tasks of regional policy of the state.One of the main investment instruments of state governance for regional development are regional target programs. The analysis of target programs of the Odesa Oblast, which operated in 2015, showed that most of them did not meet the priorities of the economic and social development strategy of the Odessa region and (or) have other defects.Agreements on the implementation of interregional projects, the implementation of which contributes to the improvement of socio-economic development of two or more regions, have not been used at all. The same situation with regard to programs to overcome the state of depression of the territory.The inadequate institutional support of the DFRD leads to its underfunding, non-compliance with the rules for distributing its funds between regions, and non-compliance with the priorities of regional development.The article proposes: to return the practice of using agreements on regional development as a mechanism for coordinating the interests of central executive and local self-government bodies in relation to the implementation of strategic tasks of regional development; based on the principle of subsidiarity, delegate to the regional level the authority to develop programs to overcome the state of depression of the territory; to implement methodological recommendations for the evaluation of regional target programs.

The article aims at determining the strategic priorities of Ukraine’s budget development policy while implementing the regional development strategy for the years 2021–2027. The strategic priorities of the budget policy on territorial development are substantiated in the context of, first, creating the regional development strategy and territorial development strategies for the years 2021-2027, and second, shifting the focus from spatially oriented measures, i.e. stimulating the development of problematic areas, to the policy of territorial development through activating untapped potential, the policy being aimed at increasing regional and national competitiveness, with special attention paid to innovation. The necessity to observe both the vertical and horizontal integration of the formation and realization of budget policy on territorial development, and the necessity to implement it, combining the problem-oriented and general approaches to directing the territorial development budgeting (territorial development budgeting is based on the following: competitive advantages of the functional types of the regions; development of problematic regions; regional development in the context of smart specialization; border areas development in the context of cross-border cooperation). A prospect for further research in this field is seen in making an attempt to form the budget policy on territorial development in Ukraine on the basis of defining strategic priorities for regional development and the development of different level territories, aimed at: reducing interregional and intra-regional asymmetries; ensuring universal improvement of the quality of life; transferring the territories to development based on sustainability, inclusiveness, innovation, and the maximization of using and building up the existing potential.

<p>For the regional economy and for the economy of a country as a whole it is necessary to correctly assess the economic potential of their territories. Errors or inaccuracies committed in this case can lead not just to inefficient spending of budgetary funds, but also to the wrong choice of the development strategy, which can result in a loss of competitiveness of the economy of the region and its cities and affect the development of the national economy as a whole. The purpose of this work is to provide a comparative assessment of the economic potential of the Novosibirsk region and other regions of the Si berian Federal District. The study examined the socio-economic potential of the region as an important indicator of territorial development. Its estimation is based on the index method and the cluster approach. Six groups of development indices of the regions of the Siberian Federal District were selected. Were used a method for standardizing indicators using variance and hierarchical methods of clustering. Clusters of the Siberian Federal District have been identified. A comparative analysis of the potential of the Novosibirsk region and regions from other clusters is carried out. Comparison of the Novosibirsk region with its neighbors, representatives of other, significantly different clusters – the Omsk region and the Republic of Altai – allows us to conclude that the Novosibirsk region exceeds the neighboring regions in terms of its economic potential. In the regional economy, the production, infrastructure and labor components of the potential are the most developed (and, therefore, most promising for use as locomotives of regional development). The remaining components are relatively behind, which makes it necessary to draw attention to them from the authorities and management. The results of the study can be used to improve regional economic p olicy.</p>
