This chapter is an attempt to frame a new perspective on the potent sources of external and internal challenges that Ukraine faces today. Hence, it aims to contribute to the outlined body of research in three ways. First, the chapter provides insight on the undervalued importance of legitimacy, explains its correlation with political inclusion, good governance, and sustainable economic development. Second, the authors also aim to identify hidden patterns of sociopolitical importance which are essential not just for Ukraine but for other countries as well. Those patterns are illustrative of a new era of geopolitics which involves fusing the latest tech innovations with political science in order to compete over internal political systems. Finally, the chapter is an attempt to determine if there are new potential approaches to improve the resilience of the DNA of Ukrainian democracy to contemporary threats and challenges. The authors try to combine theoretical findings with their practical implications in the form of feasible tools that can be used by interested stakeholders on the ground.

Practical Implications

States have empowered economic development organizations (EDOs) to administer incentive programs. But EDOs are fundamentally oriented toward client service, which can lead to client group dominance. Client group dominance can undermine the legitimacy, accountability, and efficacy of incentives. Case studies of economic development administration in North Carolina, Nevada, and Oregon demonstrate that EDOs were more likely to solicit and prioritize client group input, and that they established practices that barred competing group input. The article provides theoretical and practical implications, including potential reforms to bring EDOs closer to established good governance principles.

The Church

Sierra Leone has seen the rise of Charismatic movements that are bringing about greater levels of co-operation with the state. This new church development aims at renewing the Christian faith and projecting a more proactive role towards public governance. This ecclesial development shows that African Pentecostal/Charismatic theology appears to be moving away from the perceived isolationist theology that once separated the church from involvement with the rest of society. By reapplying the movement's eschatological beliefs, Charismatics are presenting themselves as moral crusaders who regard it as their responsibility to transform public governance. The article probes this relationship so that the Charismatic understanding of poverty, prosperity, good governance and socio-economic development in Sierra Leone can be more clearly established.

The article substantiates the methodological tools for the formation of the mechanism for implementing the strategy of sustainable economic development of the hotel and restaurant industry. To ensure the operation of the mechanism, a system of indicators and criteria for assessing the process of sustainable economic development, based on accelerating the growth of efficiency and reducing operating costs through reserve and progressive development of resource potential of the enterprise. The paper identifies the stages of sustainable economic development of the enterprise, which include: identification, grouping and analysis of factors of progressive and reserve development, their classification and determining the degree of influence on the growth of operational (production and administrative and marketing) activities, progressive development of resource potentials; development of regression models and indicators of progressive, reserve and sustainable (static and dynamic) economic development, which explain the patterns of influence of factors on performance indicators; forecasting the parameters of efficiency and cost of production and commercial activities; formation of the volume and structure of investments by types of capital investments that ensure the progressive development of resource potentials, economic growth and sustainability of the enterprise. A methodology for creating regression models and indicators was developed, which provided an opportunity to assess and predict the ratio of resource costs and the level of operational efficiency, as well as change the performance indicator by changing the values of factor parameters or their total value in different combinations. The algorithm of the organizational and economic mechanism of realization of strategy of management of steady economic development of the enterprise of hotel and restaurant sphere is constructed. This algorithm provided the ability to determine the reserves of available resources, as well as to establish the required size and structure of capital investments that reduce costs and increase the efficiency of production and administrative activities.
