This paper studies the current state and the development prospects of the Sumber-Rashaan port on the Mongolian-Chinese border, and analyzes the alignment between the central and local governments policies of the two countries’, and the problems faced in implementing the alignment. The paper argues that the Sumber-Rashaan port has highly favorable conditions and it is yet to be developed further. Although the border regions of the two countries are developing distinct tourism, they have not achieved mutual alignment yet. This paper argues that the first step to align local development between the two countries and strengthen the Sumber-Rashaan port activities, is to develop cross-border tourism. Further, the paper argues that the establishment of cross-border tourism based on the Sumber-Rashaan port will be the first of its kind in the bilateral relations, and through this precedent to demonstrate advantages and possibilities of cross-border tourism to other ports on the Mongolian-Chinese border.   Монгол-Хятадын хилийн Сүмбэр-Рашаан боомт: Өнөөгийн байдал, хөгжлийн боломж Хураангуй: Энэхүү өгүүлэлд Монгол-Хятадын хилийн Сүмбэр-Рашаан боомтын өнөөгийн байдал, хөгжлийн төлөв хандлага ба хоёр улсын төр засаг болон орон нутгаас баримталж буй хөгжлийн бодлогын уялдаа холбоо, түүнийг хэрэгжүүлэхэд тулгамдаж буй асуудлын тухайд өгүүлэв.

Problem Statement and Purpose. The article deals with the peculiarities of rural tourism development in Khmelnytskyi region. The purpose of our research is to study the current state, problems and prospects of rural tourism in Khmelnytskyi region. To achieve this goal we have performed the following tasks. For example, the development peculiarities of Khmelnytskyi regional tourist complex are revealed; identified spatial aspects of Khmelnytskyi region rural tourism development; the problems of Khmelnytskyi region rural tourism development are investigated; the perspective development directions of Khmelnytskyi region rural tourism are named. The essence of the concept of “rural” tourism is defined. The available tourist and recreational resources necessary for the development of rural tourism in Khmelnytskyi region are analyzed. The advantages and factors influencing the development of rural tourism in this region are identified. According to many scientists, due to the spread of COVID‑19 and the pandemic, rural tourism is the most developed, as this type of tourism is one of the most secluded types. Data & Methods. To achieve the goal of the study, general scientific and special methods of geographical science were used. The negative and positive impact of green tourism on rural areas and the solution of socio-economic problems of the village are analyzed. Given the rich tourist and recreational resources of Khmelnytskyi region (favorable natural and climatic conditions, historical, cultural and ethnic heritage), the development of rural tourism is one of the ways to solve economic, social and environmental problems. Results. Rural tourism promotes the development of the rural population employment, not only in the production sphere, but also in the service sector and promotes the development of rural areas, as well as stimulating the development of services: transport, communications, trade, services, recreation and other institutions in the countryside. The article deals with the ways to increase the efficiency of green tourism in Khmelnytskyi region. It is substantiated that the available resource potential of Khmelnytskyi region is not rationally used, due to the lack of sufficient information on this form of tourism. The study of the of green tourism development prospects in Khmelnytskyi region is very relevant in the context of decentralization. In accordance with the principles of reforming the system of governance in Ukraine, local governments should become the basis for decentralization, taking full account of local development and needs. The newly formed rural united territorial communities have great difficulties in filling local budgets with funds from economic activities on their territory. It is believed that rural tourism can become an industry that will actively fill the budget of rural united territorial communities.

The purpose of the paper is to study the tax potential of UTC based on study of financial revenues to the budgets of UTC of Kharkiv region, the reasons for lack of funding and to develop recommendations to increase the financial capacity of UTC based on increased tax revenues. Main sources of UTC budgets have been analyzed in the paper, reasons for possible underfunding of UTC funding due to unused opportunities to receive tax revenues have been identified and recommendations for increasing the financial capacity of communities based on increasing tax revenues have been developed. Taking into account the results of analysis of the current state of financial support for the development of territorial communities, the importance and problems of components of the system of financial support for the development of territorial communities, one of the logical directions is to strengthen the tax base of local governments. In particular, it is advisable to provide in UTC a rule that establishes the procedure for payment of personal income tax at the place of residence of the taxpayer, which will create more favorable conditions for citizens and for the development of social infrastructure of UTC. Another area of tax revenues growth to the budgets of territorial communities is the implementation of land decentralization, which will allow communities to implement their decisions throughout the territory. The community will decide for itself what to do with the land – to cultivate its own farm, rent it out or look for investors.

At the present stage, cultural diplomacy plays an important role in relations between countries. The implementation of cultural diplomacy contributes not only to the promotion of the country's interests abroad in the field of cultural policy, but also can create favorable conditions for the effective achievement of the country's foreign policy goals in other areas (for example, economic). The article deals with the bilateral cultural diplomacy of Kazakhstan and Italy. Cultural contacts between the two countries, starting from the early Middle Ages, are consistently examined and analyzed, on the basis of which a conclusion is drawn about the effectiveness of certain aspects of foreign cultural policy in creating bilateral relations. An attempt was also made to answer the question of how cultural methods can contribute to the harmonization of relations between Kazakhstan and Italy at the present stage, and whether they can significantly affect the current state of their political and economic cooperation.

This article examines the current state and prospects for the development of financial decentralization in Ukraine. The author identifies the main contradiction of financial decentralization in Ukraine, which lies in the strong centralization of financial planning, budget administration, fiscal and control powers, and a high degree of decentralization of the actual costs of local governments. This contradiction generates significant risks and is due to the peculiarity of the system of delegation of rights and responsibilities within the framework of the national budgetary system of Ukraine. It is concluded that in order to neutralize the existing risks, financial decentralization in Ukraine should be carried out in such a way that the state authorities retain their real levers of influence on public finances, actively control the local government in terms of the use of financial resources; suppress the attempts of the regions to expand their powers in the field of financial management; create conditions for the balanced development of the regions by redistributing financial flows, using the tools of strategic state planning and public administration.

Radical Shift

Abstract The term ‘region’ no longer functions to denote a strictly geographical or spatial reference (Söderbaum, 2003). Owing to the radical shift in the conception of regions, their role in promoting local development has likewise changed drastically over time. Nowadays regions are conceived as multi-dimensional networks that emerge through partnerships between states and non-state actors, linking together local and foreign individuals and companies, powerful and powerless individuals and their communities. Rather than existing as bounded spatial expanses per se, regions in this expanded sense are fluid, continually constructed and deconstructed by the practices of these different partners and therefore their parameters are in perpetual flux. This paper explores how the practices of nature conservation and the promotion of nature-based tourism have contributed to the creation of new regions in this sense. The paper applies the case of Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs) in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and their constructions as cross-border regions of significance for promoting tourism. The paper draws some insights from studies that have examined transfrontier tourism to demonstrate how different actors have acquired political support and legitimacy for promoting cross-border tourism but that on-the-ground experiences have not matched the claims that tourism promotes local development. The main argument of the paper is that regional-wide conservation initiatives through which cross-border tourism is promoted by different partners have had spatial implications that are largely associated with various kinds of local livelihood (in) securities.

After more than 30 years of Interreg programmes implementation, citizens and local stakeholders keep facing persistent challenges on the European border land when interacting across the border. Objective of the paper is to provide an overview of opportunities and obstacles of cross-border cooperation and analyze the future perspectives and challenges of cross border regions’ development in the EU. Paper also reacts on the actual Covid-19 pandemic situation where borders in the EU are again under subject of attention. Based on the EU cross-border survey 2020, these challenges are especially of language, legal and administrative nature. To reduce undue complications in carrying out certain activities across internal EU borders, especially in the fields of services, EU regional authorities support the adoption of common mechanism and strategies as Border Focal Point or European Cross-Border Mechanism. In the next months, cross-border regions will face to challenges of economic and social recovery after the limitation of cross-border activities related to coronavirus restrictions.

The article analyzes and substantiates the current state of Ukraine’s agricultural sector and cross-border cooperation with neighboring countries of the European Union. The main tasks and impact of cross-border cooperation are identified. A conceptual model for the development of cross-border cooperation in the agricultural sector has been formed, which will provide a sequence of assessments of the development of border areas on both sides of the border. The basic indicators for assessing the effectiveness of crossborder cooperation in environmental, economic and social development of Euroregions are determined, as well as their indicators are analyzed on the example of such border regions of Ukraine as Volyn, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Chernivtsi regions. The current state of Euroregions of Ukraine is characterized and recommendations are given to increase competitiveness, intensify economic activity of Euroregions, which are based on the periphery, forecasting the natural resource base of farms. It is proved that for effective development of ecological and economic bases of agrarian sector it is expedient to introduce economic tools on realization of export potential of agrarian sector of economy which will be combined among themselves on such aspects as institutional-regulatory, organizationaleconomic, production-technological and informationcommunication and will increase the functionality of preventive mechanisms to protect national and regional interests in border areas on both sides of the border and will form the preconditions for strengthening environmental, economic and foreign economic activity of cross-border and border regions.

The article shows that the growing role of local governments provides a rationale for effective regional programs for the development of natural and economic territorial systems, so it is necessary to conduct in-depth historical and geographical research, inventory of resources, determine its uniqueness for optimal location of major economic activities and preservation of the natural environment. It is substantiated that cross-border cooperation promotes the effective use of the potential of cross-border territories for wider cooperation, promotion of good neighborly relations, improving the ability to attract foreign investment. The analysis of spatial differentiation of natural, historical-cultural, social-economic tourist- recreational resources of the border district of Volyn oblast was performed. It is proved that preserved natural complexes: a combination of lakes, forests, dense hydrographic network, diversity of plant communities, faunal richness, favorable ecological situation, variety of architectural objects, including urban complexes of ancient cities, sacred objects of many religions, preserved traditions, features of local color, determine the unique nature of the Volyn border, create favorable conditions for the development of international and domestic tourism. As a result of systematization and generalization of results of geographical researches created a map of available tourist and recreational resources of the area. Taking into account the available conditions and resources of the territory, the most expedient types of tourism in the district have been identified: excursion, ecological, green, agritourism, religious, pilgrimage, ethnographic, for restore strength on nature, which are in demand among wealthy middle-class, what provides an opportunity to get acquainted with historical monuments, folklore, traditional crafts, and handicrafts.
