Inclusive development of Ukraine in the context of economic ontology

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the compliance of existing scientific ideas on the inclusive development of Ukraine with the fundamental principles of economic ontology and justification of the conditions and ways of the transition of Ukrainian society to the principles of inclusiveness. The attention of the domestic and foreign scientific community is focused on the study of various aspects of inclusive development. At present, the number of non-holistic publications has reached a critical mass, which has led to an urgent need for works of a generalizing nature. One of these areas related to the methodology of inclusive development is economic ontology – a scientific field whose task is to clarify the relevance of ideas about the inclusiveness of society to the real state of affairs in it. The scientific novelty of the study is to compare inclusive development with the following ontological dimensions: economic reality (basic structures, forces, mechanisms, and trends that determine its content and forms), economic activity (economic resources and institutions), the art of economics (economic policy). In this context, the inclusive development of Ukraine is positioned as a certain state and mode of functioning of society, characterized by organic unity and common interests of the entire human community in its movement towards ensuring expanded reproduction. The proposed approach to the methodology of economic ontology is based on identifying the conformity of ideas about the nature and content of inclusive development of the country reflected in scientific discourse and the basic principles of economic ontology. According to the results of the study, certain problems with the quality of economic resources, institutions, and policies were detected, which complicate the process of transition of Ukrainian society to the principles of inclusiveness. The conditions and ways of creating an inclusive environment within the rural-urban space (united territorial communities, new administrative districts) are substantiated.
