Journal Title: Visnyk Ternopilskoho natsionalnoho ekonomichnoho universytetu - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
The paper discusses methodological and practical issues of development and promotion of economic and other interests concerning interregional and transboundary cooperation of Ukrainian regions within the context of European integration. A basic model for regional policy-making under new geopolitical conditions has been specifically developed for Ukraine’s Black Sea region. The importance of Ukraine’s Black Sea region within the system of international economic relations and national security of Ukraine has been highlighted, primarily with regard to the region’s geographical location. The issue of defending national interests is recognized as a top priority at the present stage of nation building in Ukraine, most notably due to the external armed aggression (Russia’s annexation of the Crimea, armed aggression in eastern Ukraine). Regional, national and international interests of Ukraine in the Black Sea region are based on the necessity of marine capacity building in Ukraine’s Black Sea region as well as on the enhancement of geo-economic and geostrategic positions of Ukraine in the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and adjacent basins through unleashing the potential for European integration. Ukraine’s long-term (strategic) economic interests in the Black Sea basin include: transportation development of marine, river and other lines of communication; sustainable use of maritime and coastal resources, and energy potential; building a sustainable strategic partnership for maintaining regional security in the Black Sea basin through further European integration and participation in international organizations (BSEC, The GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development) etc. The descriptive framework of interregional and international cooperation of Ukraine’s Black Sea region is based on the key interests of the region, main objectives of enhancing interregional cooperation and core targets related to interregional cooperation of Ukraine’s Black Sea region with the EU countries. Ukraine’s interests in the Black Sea region are discussed from different perspectives: geopolitical, geo-economic, environmental, military and defence.
