The conflict in Ukraine since the beginning of 2014 has been the important in the history of Ukraine as an independent state. Despite the danger of economic collapse, the loss of Crimea, and war in its most industrialized region, Ukraine is still trying to conduct reforms and implement Western standards. Through persistent work Ukraine has been moving forward, despite all the difficulties. The society is staying together with the government to save the economy and defend the integrity of the whole country. This article outlines key processes in the Ukrainian reforms during 2014 and describes the cooperation of Ukraine with the European Union and international organizations in the field of financial support and reforms. The main goal of the article is to present the situation in various spheres of the country’s development, but it is also an attempt to present a wider perspective on both the achievements and shortcomings in the process of reforms. The authors focus on those aspects having a significant impact on the Ukrainian economy after February 2014.

RESUMOOs economistas, ao que parece, estão descobrindo a geografia. Ao longo da última década, surgiram uma "nova teoria do comércio" e uma "nova economia da vantagem concorrencial" que, entre outras coisas, atribuem uma importância fundamental ao papel que a geografia interna de uma nação pode desempenhar na determinação do desempenho comercial das indústrias dessa nação. O trabalho de Paul Krugman, em particular, tem sido muito influente na promoção desta visão. De acordo com Krugman, num mundo de concorrência imperfeita, o comércio internacional é impulsionado tanto pelos rendimentos crescentes e pelas economias externas, como pela vantagem comparativa. Além disso, essas economias externas são mais propensas a serem realizadas na escala local e regional do que no nível nacional ou internacional. Para entender o comércio, portanto, Krugman argumenta que é necessário entender os processos que conduzem à concentração de produção local e regional. Para este fim, ele se baseia em uma variedade de ideias geográficas, que vão desde as economias de aglomeração Marshallianas, passando pela teoria tradicional da localização, até as noções de causalidade cumulativa e especialização regional. Nosso objetivo neste trabalho é fornecer uma avaliação crítica da "economia geográfica" de Krugman e suas implicações para a geografia econômica contemporânea. Seu trabalho levanta algumas questões importantes para a teoria do desenvolvimento regional em geral e para a nova geografia industrial em particular. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, sua teoria também possui limitações significativas. Argumentamos que, embora uma troca de ideias entre sua teoria e o trabalho recente na geografia industrial sejam mutuamente benéficas, ambas as abordagens são limitadas pelo tratamento que dão às externalidades tecnológicas e pelo legado da economia neoclássica ortodoxa.ABSTRACT Economists, it seems, are discovering geography. Over the past decade, a "new trade theory" and "new economics of competitive advantage" have emerged which, among other things, assign a key importance to the role that the internal geography of a nation may play in determining the trading performance of that nation's industries. Paul Krugman's work, in particular, has been very influential in promoting this view. According to Krugman, in a world of imperfect competition, international trade is driven as much by increasing returns and external economies as by comparative advantage. Furthermore, these external economies are more likely to be realized at the local and regional scale than at the national or international level. To understand trade, therefore, Krugman argues that it is necessary to understand the processes leading to the local and regional concentration of production. To this end he draws on a range of geographical ideas, from Marshallian agglomeration economies, through traditional location theory, to notions of cumulative causation and regional specialization. Our purpose in this paper is to provide a critical assessment of Krugman's "geographical economics" and its implications for contemporary economic geography. His work raises some significant issues for regional development theory in general and the new industrial geography in particular. But at the same time his theory also has significant limitations. We argue that while an exchange of ideas between his theory and recent work in industrial geography would be mutually beneficial, both approaches are limited by their treatment of technological externalities and the legacy of orthodox neoclassical economics. KEY WORDS: Krugman, trade, external economies, regional industrial concentration, regional industrial policy.
