Abstract
Abstract. It was ascertained that the global status of a country is determined by a set of its characteristics as an entity of international relations identifying the place it occupies among other countries over a certain historical period of time. The global status is defined as the relative position of countries in the system of international relations. The main factors that determine the global status of countries are economic development; achievements in science, technology and innovation; development of social spheres (health care, education, social protection); the outcome of distributing and exercising power within the state (domestic policy) as well as between states (foreign policy); the effectiveness of institutions; and governance efficiency in the field of environmental management. It is proved that the global status of countries depends primarily on how effectively each of its spheres functions in terms of the interests of society’s development. At the same time, it depends on the synergistic effect — the coordinated action of all components of the socio-natural system (aggregate endogenous factor) and the degree of the country inclusion in the system of modern international relations, which is largely due to globalisation (exogenous factor). It is stated that the country’s acquisition of a different global status compared to the previous one reflects the status dynamics. That means a change in the roles played by countries in the system of international relations, i.e. the process of transforming their behavior on the world stage. These starting points of the study of the place and role of individual countries in the modern globalized world became the basis for the analysis of Ukraine’s position (by areas of activity and in general). The global status of Ukraine is defined and interpreted through correlation with the criteria derived from the theory of world-system analysis. Based on these methodological principles, modern problems have been identified and the possibility of further development of Ukraine has been assessed.
 Keywords: world economy, global status of countries, problems and contradictions of social development, socio-natural system, globalisation.

Highlights
The most pressing issue facing Ukrainian society today is whether the state will be able to contain the progressive economic downturn and regain the position of an industrialized country capable of accepting innovations and of producing them as it approaches the world economic and technological leader countries
After leaving the USSR, Ukraine had sufficient preconditions to firmly establish itself among the countries of the semi-periphery, which later gave a fairly high chance of the possibility of its confident movement to the core countries
Tkachenko [18], for example, believes that Ukraine has completely lost its former position in the world economy
Summary
The most pressing issue facing Ukrainian society today is whether the state will be able to contain the progressive economic downturn and regain (in the long run) the position of an industrialized country capable of accepting innovations and of producing them as it approaches the world economic and technological leader countries. Organized analysis tools (respectively selected set of international indices) allowed to determine the effectiveness of the spheres of society of different countries according to the specified parameters of their identification — economic sphere (KOF — LPI — GCI), technological sphere (KOF — LPI — GII), social as well as spiritual and cultural spheres (KOF — LPI — HDI), political sphere and functioning of state institutions (KOF — LPI — FSI), environmental management (KOF — LPI — EPI). It is human potential that can ensure innovative progress in all spheres of society, provided that corruption is overcome in Ukraine, humanistic state regulation is established and effective institutions are created In this way can positive changes in the international status of the state take place and the country’s movement to the core area in a planetary society begins. Losing human resources (primarily intellectual and creative ones), Ukraine loses development potential
