Expert Assessment of Mechanisms of Implementation of State Regional Economic Policy in Ukraine

Abstract

The problems of implementation of the state regional economic policy in Ukraine cause the need to pay attention to its mechanisms. The research of the state regional economic policy in Ukraine, its mechanisms is conducted by scientists of different fields of knowledge. In fact, the study of the implementation of the state regional economic policy in Ukraine is particularly relevant among scientists in the field of public administration. However, the issues concerning the definition of the state regional economic policy in Ukraine and its mechanisms remain insufficiently investigated. The implementation of the state regional economic policy in Ukraine is investigated; expert assessment of its mechanisms of implementation is carried out. Based on the processing and analysis of respondents' answers, the results of their assessment are summarized and the relevant conclusions are reached. It is indicated that the state regional economic policy is the activity of the state, implemented through appropriate means and levers. One of the biggest obstacles in the implementation of the state regional economic policy is the imperfection of the regulatory framework and the lack of appropriate organizational and economic support, which confirms the conclusion about the need to improve the mechanisms of implementation of the state regional economic policy. It requires paying considerable attention to the improvement of the regulatory framework of the state regional economic policy. Its assessment gives grounds to state that there is still no established interrelational regulatory framework of the state regional economic policy and that is why, according to the respondents, it needs to be updated. Current challenges, trends of regional development underline the importance of improving the mechanisms of implementation of the state regional economic policy in Ukraine. The respondents emphasized the importance of taking into account foreign experience during the implementation of the state regional economic policy in Ukraine. Further scientific search will be devoted to the improvement of mechanisms of formation of state regional economic policy.
