  Since the independence of Ghana, she has been at the forefront of the integration of the African continent and for that matter the West African sub-region. Many developing countries are moving towards adapting to international and regional arrangements to enhance their relevance and leverage on trade and investment opportunities for their socio-economic development. Ghana is considered as having one of the safest and most conducive investment climates for doing business in Africa. This stride is attributed to its enduring democratic and legislative environments. The gains made so far in this respect seem to be losing its steam due to the far-reaching conflicting provisions that exist between the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act 865 of 2013 which regulates the investment activities in Ghana and that of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) provisions in the Protocol on Free Movement of People, Goods and Services. Through a qualitative desktop analysis of the legal literature available, this paper argues that some provisions of Act 865 specifically sections 27 and 28 of Act 865 are in violation of Ghana’s obligation under the ECOWAS protocols. On the backdrop of article 36(4) of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, this article identified such provisions in Act 865 and proposes an amendment to conform with the Community laws of ECOWAS to engender socio-economic development and political security of the subregion.

Because the methodology for studying the socio-economic development of cross-border territories is still poorly developed in the Ukrainian science, this study aims to highlight its theoretical essence and justify the need for statistical monitoring and identification of practical problems related with its applications at personal, institutional and regional level.   Given the global market competition, the socio-economic development of cross-border territories is impossible without creating favorable financial, institutional and infrastructure environment. The socio-economic development of cross-border territories is determined by a set of indicators reflecting the capabilities of territories located on both sides of the border to produce a certain output of goods and services using the available human and material resources.    The importance of cross-border statistics grows with the expansion of cross-border cooperation. Cross-border statistics refers to the generalized information on the socio-economic development of cross-border territories; it has to support the CBC-related operation of central and local administration bodies and private entities in border regions, aimed at expanding business partnerships and meeting public needs on border territories. The source of data for cross-border statistics is the statistics of border regions. The analysis shows that trial decisions used now in the Ukrainian statistics system for testing border region statistics, such as statistics of tourism, including travels abroad, are not capable to meet information needs of the regional development policy, foreign trade statistics and statistics of internal and external migration. The statistics of cross-border regions has to face the following challenges:  improve the comparability of statistical indicators by harmonizing statistical surveys’ methodology, terminology, definitions and classifications; expand and improve printing and publishing activities; develop analytical work; introduce and develop cross-border surveys; construct on-line cross-border database.

The article examines the institutional limitations of intermunicipal cooperation at the subregional level on the example of the UNESCO Yangantau Geopark, which consist in the flaw in formal institutions and gaps in the current legislation. The realities of the modern economy set the tone from competition from neighboring regions to cooperation and cooperation. According to the Strategy for Spatial Development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, measures to strengthen interregional interaction include the development and implementation of strategies for the socio-economic development of macroregions. The formation of such macroregions should have an institutional basis and should take into account some principles: to be neighboring regions, to be able to develop common infrastructure and complement each other in terms of socio-economic development. Institutional constraints in intermunicipal cooperation of the Republic of Bashkortostan and neighboring regions in the field of tourism and environmental protection measures are associated with the development of the system-wide infrastructure, the tourist destination of territories. In the Salavat region of the Republic of Bashkortostan, there is the Yangantau resort, which meets the highest standards, a geopark is also located here. On the example of a geopark, the degree of development of the tourism business of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Chelyabinsk region is considered. The territory is located within the boundaries of the municipal districts: Salavatsky, Nurimanovsky, Kiginsky, Duvansky and borders on the municipalities of the Chelyabinsk region Ashinsky, Katav-Ivanovsky, Ust-Katav, Satkinsky. In these municipalities, depopulation processes are observed, characteristic of depressed territories, and the level of unemployment is high. The author presents statistical material on the indicators of the unemployment rate in this region. One of the institutional limitations of the pandemic period is that the service sector, like other types of service, is subject to rapid decline and slow recovery. The author also attaches great importance to the development of transport, logistics and engineering infrastructure. There are road and rail links in this area. Federal highway M-5, which is the main highway here, is overloaded and massive accidents happen on it. At the moment, the track is being reconstructed.
