Формування моделі міжнародних економічних відносин у контексті попередньої траєкторії розвитку національного господарства України

In the conditions of war and post-war reconstruction, Ukraine’s further integration into the world economy and trade-economic cooperation with the EU, the USA, and other developed countries is a priority task. However, the Soviet economic heritage in the form of the extensive elements and forms of economic management continues to create obstacles to building a competitive model of foreign trade cooperation. And overcoming these obstacles is impossible without rethinking and evaluating the historical experience. The research’s aim is to summarize the determinants and structural-institutional characteristics of the model of Ukrainian international economic relations shaped within the Soviet economic system. The theoretical basis of the research includes the concepts of dependent development and the «track effect», which allow assessing the influence of the Soviet legacy on the modern economic processes. The research methodology is based on the systemic approach, and problem-logical, comparative, institutional, and statistical analysis. The author defines the institutional and structural characteristics of the Ukrainian model of international economic relations shaped within the Soviet economic space and outside it. These include the republic's lack of autonomy regarding foreign trade and its subordination to the state system of centralized export-import planning; absence of closed production and technological cycles within one republic and deepening of all-Union trade and economic integration; production specialization of regions according to the central interests; the dominance of trade with other socialist countries and the so-called countries of non-capitalist orientation; a high share of barter operations and compensatory cooperation aimed at strengthening the so-called socialist integration; and an active application of the policy of customs and trade protectionism in relation to countries with a market economy. It is confirmed that the place of Ukraine's economy in the Soviet Union’s division of labor and the system of foreign economic relations was determined by the republic’s political and economic dependence on the center and its subordination to the Soviet concept of building an all-Union economic space. This largely limited Ukraine's opportunities in the formation and implementation of its own strategies of foreign economic interaction and led to an inertial pursuit in the fairway of the post-Union political entities and economic agreements after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the first decades of Ukraine's state independence.

ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ СТРУКТУРИ І ЗМІСТУ КУРСУ ГЕОГРАФІЇ ВОСЬМОГО КЛАСУ ДЛЯ ЗАКЛАДІВ ЗАГАЛЬНОЇ СЕРЕДНЬОЇ ОСВІТИ

The article is focused on the analysis of the structure and content of Geography study in the 8th grades of general secondary educational institutions based on the model curriculum, developed by the team under the supervision of S. P. Zapototskyi. According to it, the content block related to the study of the population was removed from the 8th and instead transferred to the 9th grade course. Thus, the content of the course “Geography” in the 8th grade will encompass the following 4 chapters: Chapter I “Cartographic image of Ukraine”, Chapter II “Nature of Ukraine”, Chapter III “Natural Resource Management” and Chapter IV “Space – Territory – State”. Instead of the topic “Ukrainian and World Population” in the 8th grade, the inclusion of which in this course at one time was an unsuccessful experiment, two Chapters were introduced under the names “Natural Resource Management” and “Space – Territory – State”. Chapter “Natural Resource Management” logically completes the study of the nature of our state from the standpoint of the resource approach and perspectives of nature use, and “Space – Territory – State” is a kind of a transitional link to the study of Ukrainian and world social geography in the 9th grade. However, a more detailed analysis of the content of the topics included in the geography course covered in the 8th grade according to the model program offered by S. P. Zapototskyi and others, prompts to draw attention to some debatable issues and to offer author’s vision of improving the content of the educational discipline. The main suggestions concern the preservation of a typical physical and geographical approach to the study of the nature of Ukraine in Chapter II, In topic 1. of section IV. "Ukrainian state" a very important aspect of consideration is the affirmation of the idea that Ukraine is the inheritor of the state tradition of the Slavic tribe of the Ants. Another strength of the program is the project activity to establish the features of the formation of capable territorial communities formed after the decentralization reform. The main narrative to be relayed by topic 2 "Ukraine's place on the political map of the world" is that Ukraine is a sovereign European state, a candidate country for EU membership, which has to defend its independence from Russian aggression in a fair armed struggle. and some clarification of the content in Chapter III “Natural Resource Management”.

ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЙНІ ІМПЕРАТИВИ ПОВОЄННОГО ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ УКРАЇНИ НА ЗАСАДАХ СТАЛОСТІ: У ПОШУКАХ ДЖЕРЕЛ ФІНАНСУВАННЯ

The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of financing investment projects on the principles of sustainability and circularity, the demand for which will grow in the conditions of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, which will take place taking into account the European integration imperatives of the international economic policy of Ukraine. It is proven that “sustainability” is a kind of framework concept that simultaneously imposes restrictions and creates opportunities for attracting capital. In the conditions of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, it becomes promising to increase in the portfolio of investment projects those that are oriented towards the implementation of circular business models that serve as a tool for implementing green and circular transitions. Revision of value and supply chains taking into account the “dominant of circularity” is an imperative of the “green” European integration course.The circular economic model is an innovative platform and ensures sustainable development by moving from a linear model based on consumption and recycling to one in which the service life of products is maximized, natural resources are reused, and materials and waste are minimized. Currently, three distinct cycles of circularity are distinguished, which are gradually becoming wider: closing resource cycles, which is determined by the relatively traditional economic system; slowing down resource cycles and material flows through the continuation and intensification of the use of products to preserve their value and cost over time; narrowing resource cycles through more efficient use of materials, resources and products of the linear system. The transformation processes taking place in the financial sector under the influence of the greening of financial policies not only of companies, but also of the Central Banks of the leading countries of the world, show that ignoring the sustainability factor and non-compliance with ESG criteria will affect the credit ratings of institutions in particular and reputational positions in general. “Green” factors increasingly aggressively determine the ability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to apply for grant support for financial provision of circular and sustainable projects. Circular, green and energy transitions in the context of sustainable development will act as a universal tool for achieving many Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will make it possible to attract financial resources from special funds that deal with solving global development problems. Europe strives to become the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The EU must transform into a fair and prosperous society with a modern and competitive economy. This highlights the need for a holistic and cross-sectoral approach, in which all relevant policy areas contribute to achieving the ultimate climate-related goal. The implementation of environmental initiatives at the global, regional, inter-country and macro-, meso-, micro-levels is facilitated by political initiatives of actors at the global, regional and national levels. Therefore, The European Union (EU), having adopted ambitious goals of achieving climate neutrality, uses the European Green Deal, which is fundamentally capable of modifying the investment and financial landscape, which should be taken into account when selecting investment projects within the framework of post-war reconstruction programs. In the process of post-war reconstruction of regions, the challenges of solving the problems of energy security, resource security, water resources management will be on the agenda. Ukraine during the post-war development has all the prerequisites for acquiring the status of a green and circular center of Europe. In the context of decentralization, the coordination of relevant initiatives becomes significantly more complicated: on the one hand, the liberalization of the institutional space provides a lot of flexibility to municipalities and communities, on the other hand, post-war socio-economic development creates a demand for strategic planning of Ukraine's place in the international division of labor, and therefore - strategizing its industrial development on the basis of sustainability. Under these conditions, the European Green Deal can become a kind of strategic framework that will clearly define the standards for greening business principles. It is fully foreseen that attracting financing from EU funds will involve increasing requirements for corporate social responsibility of enterprises.

Results. Current global trends in the development of international trade in agricultural products were considered, and the main subjects of the global agricultural market are singled out. The place of Ukraine in the world market of agricultural products is determined and the role played by the country in shaping the offer of the specified product is shown. The main problems of Ukraine's food security, which are related to its participation in international trade and economic relations in the agrarian sector of the economy, are singled out. Recommendations were given to strengthen Ukraine's competitive position on the world market of agricultural products and create conditions for its food security. Novelty. The main global trends in the field of international trade in agricultural products were proposed, which is based on a comparative analysis of challenges and opportunities for a country that participates in the international exchange of agricultural products. The weak and strong sides of Ukraine's participation in the international trade of agricultural products have been identified in view of its economic security. New opportunities and challenges for the export of nationally produced agricultural products have been identified. Practical value. The conducted analysis provides an understanding of the state and development trends of the world market of agricultural products, which allows to strengthen the place and role of Ukraine in trade and economic relations with other countries of the world, as well as to create conditions for its food security.

THEORETICAL BASIS OF DETERMINING UKRAINE'S PLACE IN MODERN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC EXCHANGE

The article raises the issue of determining Ukraine's place in modern international exchange. International economic exchange is carried out in all directions of international relations. The subjects of exchange are innovations, technologies, finished products, finance, labor force. These processes are facilitated by the creation of various network structures, within the framework of which foreign economic relations take place and the processes of exchange, purchase and sale are carried out. The basic economic categories that form the basis of economic policy in the formation of international economic relations are defined. The essence of these categories, their components and challenges for national interests in the context of international integration are given. It is noted that globalization provides access to new markets, technologies and investments, but requires countries to adapt, increase competitiveness and ensure economic security. States should actively work on strategies that allow national economies to successfully integrate into the global economy, while maintaining economic sovereignty and ensuring sustainable development. It is justified that the determinants of foreign economic relations of the Ukrainian economy are multifaceted and include economic, geopolitical, ethnic, historical, cultural , institutional and spatial-resource aspects. Each of these factors affects the formation of foreign economic policy and determines Ukraine's international position. The interaction of these determinants shapes the country's strategy in the international arena, influencing its economic growth, development and integration into the world economic system. It is substantiated that the basic economic categories are the foundation for the formation of international economic policy. Understanding and correct use of these categories allows countries to effectively integrate into the world economy, support economic growth, strengthen their international positions and ensure the well-being of the population. Economic policy based on the analysis of these categories contributes to the development of international economic relations and the achievement of the country's strategic economic goals.

ASSESSMENT AND CURRENT TRENDS OF ENSURING FOOD SECURITY IN UKRAINE

The research on Ukraine's food security is of paramount importance, as it directly impacts the national agro-food systems. The article delves into the current state of internal food self-sufficiency in the Ukrainian population, conducting an analytical assessment of export-import transactions with agricultural raw materials and food products. The findings reveal a significant trend of increasing food exports in recent years, along with an evaluation of the export-import coverage for the main types of food products. Ukraine's place in the world rating of food security based on the Global Food Security Index was studied. The fundamental problems and reasons that determined Ukraine's decrease in the rating positions and the level of food security of its population were identified. In addition to the military conflict, Ukraine has a low economic availability of food products for the population and a low level of sustainability in the domestic agro-food system. Despite the war's consequences, the agricultural business remains one of the most profitable economic activities in Ukraine. This analysis of individual indicators of the effectiveness of the country's agrarian sector as a basis for ensuring food security underscores the sector's potential. The modern production structure of the main types of agricultural products by categories of producers was studied. The key trends accompanying ensuring food security in Ukraine under modern conditions are summarized. It was revealed that food security in the crop sector is achieved at the expense of the public sector agrarian formations, mainly at the expense of households in the livestock sector. Based on the average values ​​of the actual consumption indicators, the state of providing the population with the main types of food was analyzed. The results showed problematic aspects in providing the country's population with meat and dairy products, fish, fruits, berries, and grapes. The priority directions for ensuring and strengthening food security on a national scale are substantiated. Among the main ones, the following are highlighted: the need to implement sustainable farming and animal husbandry practices, further improvement of the food quality management and control system, protection of biodiversity of ecological agrosystems, optimization and reduction of value chains, increasing the level of social responsibility of food producers and consumers.

The role and place of Ukraine in modern international information policy: modern challenges and strategic imperatives of cooperation

Introduction: the relevance of the study is determined by evident and paradigmatic change of global political landscape and corresponding international and nation-state information policy. At the same time, attention is drawn to the presence of theoretical gaps in defining the definition of “information policy”, its institutional structure, as well as the mechanisms for its formation and implementation in today realities, in particular against the backdrop of Russia-Ukraine war and challenges concerning the role and place of Ukraine in international information landscape of international relations. Objectives: the article aims to develop an array systematizing the processes taking place within Ukrainian media space during the war, which would allow comprehending them based on theoretical paradigms and today realities of information policy, information landscape, and information geopolitics.Method: the methodological basis for considering research problems is based on the methods of systemic, structural-functional and institutional analysis. The research combines the methodological achievements of several paradigms, constituting the basis of philosophical pluralism - the synergistic method and the paradigm of nonlinearity.Results: the political role of the information space in modern society and public policy is comprehended. This role lies in the ability of the information space to reflect and subsequently change social processes (including political processes), as well as the interests of the actors dominating the political process. The negative effects of populism in the information policy of Ukraine and the discrepancies between internal and external media narratives are noted. The increasing role of civil journalism and Telegram channels in the information field of Ukraine is shown and an understanding of the corresponding challenges for information policy is proposed

EU Energy Securitisation: Ukraine's Place in the European Energy System

This article focuses on the investigation of the European Union's securitisation policy in the energy sector, in particular, the provision of energy carriers to the Union, which was developed in response to Russia's energy wars of 2006–2007 and 2008–2009 against Ukraine and indirectly against the European Union. The theory of securitisation, formulated by S. Ozkan, B. Buzan and other researchers, focuses not so much on eliminating the consequences of crises as on creating a system of securitisation for the relevant industries with increased stress resistance, diversification of economic and technological ties with partners and strengthening the social orientation of their functioning. The algorithmization of this policy and the changes that led to the institutional response to Russian aggression in the energy sector are investigated. The research is based on the approach of sociological (neo)institutionalism, which allows explaining political processes in terms of not only economic benefits, but also their importance for the development of other spheres of public life and international cooperation. This approach is based on the notion that, first, the institutional environment in which a particular institution operates provides it with the necessary resources, as well as legitimates and regulates its activities. As a result, sociological institutionalism emphasises the role of norms, rules, and culture, influencing the self-identification of actors associated with this institution, as well as defining „friends” and „foes” in the overall institutional structure. It is shown that changes in the EU energy policy are dictated not only by economic or technological considerations, but also by the requirement to meet the needs of the population and economy of the EU member states. At the same time, Ukraine's inclusion in the EU's common securitisation system is in the economic, political, and social interests of Ukraine, which, both under the Association Agreement and in the event of its accession to the EU, will have the status of an acceptor country. The article considers possible options for the EU and Ukraine to establish Ukraine as the EU's eastern securitizer and their respective consequences for both parties.

Mechanism of synergy between public health, food safety and consumer behavior: the role of neuromarketing

Methods. The results of the study were obtained by using the following methods: comparison – when studying the dynamics of the global hunger index and the GTI in Ukraine to determine Ukraine's place in the world food security ranking; general and specific – when establishing the relationship between food security and the public health system; standard methods of sociological research – when studying the behavior of food consumers as a result of the use of various neuromarketing methods; structural and logical analysis – when justifying the use of neuromarketing methods to improve the country's food security and directly affect the development of the public health system. Results. The role of positive changes in the regulatory and legal support for the functioning of the integrated public health system in Ukraine in the context of European integration processes is shown. The position of Ukraine in the world food security ranking among the indicators of 125 countries is investigated. The dynamics of the factors influencing the formation of the GHI is analyzed. It is proved that food security is one of the components of the public health system. The reasons for the food problem in the world and in Ukraine in particular are considered. Examples of the application of neuromarketing methods as a tool for influencing food security and the public health system in general are given. Positive and negative factors of influence of neuromarketing methods on the public health system are systematized. The necessity of further scientific research on the synergy of neuromarketing, food security and the public health system as factors influencing the overall well-being of the population is emphasized. Novelty. The article is the first to investigate the aspects of synergy between public health, food security and neuromarketing in Ukraine in the current conditions of ecosystem disruption during the period of military aggression. Practical value. The application of neuromarketing methods to improve the promotion of food products on the market aimed at ensuring food security of the country, improving public welfare and further development of the public health system is proposed.

ПРО ЩО СВІДЧИТЬ 88-МЕ МІСЦЕ УКРАЇНИ В РЕЙТИНГУ ПРОЗОРОСТІ ПОДАТКОВИХ ВИТРАТ?

Introduction. The large absolute and relative volumes of tax expenditures in most countries that submit their reports to the Global Tax Expenditures Database, with insufficient transparency and heterogeneous quality of such reports, are convincing evidence of the need for close attention to them both by researchers and by governments and international organizations. The growing attention to tax expenditures at the international level is confirmed by the creation of the Global Tax Expenditures Database (GTED), and in 2023 – the ranking of countries in the context of the transparency of tax expenditures, measured according to the Global Tax Expenditures Transparency Index (GTETI), which aims to identify weaknesses in tax expenditures reports and direct efforts to eliminate them. Problem Statement. Ukraine belongs to the number of countries that submit their reports on tax benefits, which are losses of budget revenues (tax expenditures), to the GTED. Therefore, its reporting was subject to evaluation, which determined Ukraine's place in the tax expenditures transparency ranking. The purpose of the article is to familiarize the scientific community, government officials and policy makers in Ukraine with information on the tax expenditures transparency rating, as well as to reveal the reasons for the low quality of tax expenditures reports in Ukraine and to outline areas for their improvement. The methods of critical analysis, comparative and structural-functional analysis, analogies and theoretical generalization are used. Results. The article provides a detailed description of the GTETI and its five dimensions (parameters) that can be used to determine the quality of reports, as well as the results of ranking the EU countries and Ukraine according to the regularity, quality and scope of their tax expenditures reports. Ukraine took the 88th place in the ranking among 104 countries, having received 33,2 scores, which is 18,5 points below the average for EU countries. The country received the lowest scores – 3 and 4 – for the public availability of information on tax expenditures and for the methodology and scope of reporting, and the highest score – 12 – for the institutional framework. For the other two parameters – descriptive data on tax expenditures and tax expenditures assessment – Ukraine's indicators are not high, but do not differ significantly from the average for all countries in the ranking. The reasons for the low quality of tax expenditures reports in Ukraine in all parameters have been analyzed, which makes it possible to draw a conclusion that they need to be improved and the main directions for improvement are identified.

TRANSFORMATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION

In the article, globalization landscape of today higher education development is considered, and the place of Ukraine in it. It is shown that globalization transforms higher education in multifold ways, at the same time, however, evoking a vector towards glocalization. The large part of research is devoted to national security aspects of higher education within the soft power paradigm.

Development of the personnel potential system of the enterprise using the example of the machine-building industry of Ukraine

Methods. The following methods of scientific knowledge were applied during the study of the problems of the development of the system of personnel potential of machine-building enterprises: analysis and synthesis – when identifying modern trends in the development of machine-building and the dynamics of the final results of the economic activity of enterprises belonging to this industry; structuring – when characterizing the machine-building products market; grouping – when classifying enterprises according to the «9 Box Talent Matrix»; comparison – when comparing personnel potential systems existing at metallurgical enterprises of Ukraine; index method – when creating an integral indicator of the company's personnel development. Results. The current state of mechanical engineering development in Ukraine and the world is analyzed and its main trends are highlighted. The structure of the modern world machine-building market is characterized, and Ukraine's place in it is shown. A comparison of the specifics of the conditions under which foreign and domestic companies representing the industry carry out their activities is carried out. The problems of the functioning of domestic machine-building enterprises are identified, attention is focused on the inefficiency of their personnel potential systems. On a sample of ten Ukrainian metallurgical enterprises, the financial and economic indicators of their activity were analyzed, in particular: general profitability, movement and use of labor force, the share of personnel costs in the total structure of costs, and the level of remuneration. With the help of the «9 Box Talent Matrix» the personnel potential of the investigated enterprises was assessed. Novelty. Based on the study of the activities of ten enterprises of the machine-building industry of Ukraine, an idea was formed about the existing state of personnel resources and factors that shape the personnel potential of the enterprise and influence its development. The method of calculating the personnel potential of the enterprise has been improved, which, unlike the existing ones, is based on the calculation of the integral indicator of the development of the personnel of the enterprise proposed by the author, as well as the indicators of the level of profitability of the personnel potential and potential income from the use of the personnel potential at the enterprise. Practical value. The improved methodology for calculating personnel potential proposed by the author can be implemented at any Ukrainian enterprise and serve as a tool for assessing the level of personnel development and the amount of personnel potential, timely identification of problems and the development of effective solutions for their resolution.

STUDY OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF UKRAINIAN ENTERPRISES IN COMPARISON WITH ENGLISH ENTERPRISES ON THE EXAMPLE OF PJSC “ZAPORIZHZHIA ABRASIVE PLANT”

The article examines the concept of “competitiveness” and provides the author’s own definition of this economic definition. The factors of internal and external influence on competitiveness are expanded. The dynamics of changes in the number of Ukrainian enterprises in 2012–2022 is analyzed. The activities of PJSC “Zaporizhzhia Abrasive Plant”, production volumes of the main types of products and competitiveness indicators are studied. The strengths and weaknesses of the enterprise, as well as the problems it faces, and the actions it takes to modernize are considered. The reserves for improving the competitiveness of the enterprise PJSC “Zaporizhzhia Abrasive Plant” are identified. The place of Ukraine and the United Kingdom in the global competitiveness index is analyzed. The advantages of doing business in the UK are identified and the main factors affecting the competitiveness of enterprises in both countries are highlighted. Actions to improve the competitiveness of Ukrainian enterprises are proposed.

PRIORITIES IN THE INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE ENTERPRISES AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF THE MILITARY AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The world economy changes its architecture. These changes are caused by the global technology revolution, which is associated with innovation processes. They cover a wide range of innovations: from the creation of decentralized systems based on trust (the blockchain) to open integrations of artificial intelligence (open AI ecosystem). Such processes configure new features of global markets and, more to the point, new players in these markets. Consequently, the most important task for Ukrainian business is to define clear development priorities related to innovations. This article examines the place of the Ukrainian economy in innovative global processes, identifies the main problems of entrepreneurship development under war conditions, and outlines priorities on the way to innovative reconstruction. An analysis of global innovation trends against the background of modern challenges was carried out on the basis of the Global Innovation Index (GII) for 2022, and the place of Ukraine in these processes was determined. The relationship between innovative contributions and innovative results is shown. The general entrepreneurial potential of Ukraine was determined, inclusive of the background of the russian war. It has been analyzed why the labor potential, which lost its place of work in connection with the armed hostilities of the aggressor, did not drift into the entrepreneurial private sector and did not join the ranks of the self-employed population. The innovative attitudes of Ukrainian entrepreneurship were analyzed and the industries that do not invest in technological innovation of production were identified. Arguments are presented why innovation can be the key to getting out of the crisis and a way to increase the competitiveness of enterprises in the domestic market, as well as promotion to foreign markets.

ОЦІНКА ІННОВАЦІЙНОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ УКРАЇНИ В КОНТЕКСТІ СВІТОВИХ РЕЙТИНГІВ

The innovative potential of Ukraine was evaluated in the context of world ratings, in particular according to the Global Innovation Index, the Bloomberg Innovation Index and the Summary Innovation Index. The place of Ukraine among other countries of the world in terms of the level of innovative development has been determined. In the Global Innovation Index in 2021, Ukraine was in 49th place, in the Bloomberg Innovation Index – in 58th place, in the Innovation Index of the Summary Innovation Index – in 34th place. According to the results of the ratings, such countries as Switzerland, USA, Sweden, South Korea, Great Britain, Finland, and Germany occupy the leading positions. The position of Ukraine in international rankings before the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine indicates a rather unstable competitive position and the absence of an active policy in support of innovative activities and lack of effective mechanisms for introducing innovations and further commercialization. And the war only deepened and exacerbated the existing problems and significantly worsened the image of our state on the international arena in the context of its innovative development. In such difficult conditions, it is already important to use the best world experience and practices of the European Union in the formation of state policy regarding the development of innovations, including finding ways to increase financial support for innovative development from the state. The implementation of effective state regulation through the mechanisms of stimulating and supporting innovations, as the main driving force for increasing competitiveness, establishing cooperation between the state, society and business, creating a favorable institutional environment for the development of science, scientific developments and research should be a priority vector of Ukraine despite all the difficulties associated with war. The creation of human resources support mechanisms, in which Ukrainian scientists could implement their innovative ideas and developments in Ukraine, and not abroad, will also contribute to the increase of innovation potential.

ВПЛИВ ПОСТІНДУСТРІАЛЬНОЇ СТАДІЇ ГЛОБАЛЬНОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ НА РОЗВИТОК ЕКОНОМІЧНИХ ВІДНОСИН В УКРАЇНІ

The article analyzes the processes of transformation of the economy of Ukraine in the direction of building a postindustrial society. The real situation in the scientific and innovative sphere was analyzed and the place of Ukraine in the global innovation space was determined. On the basis of the analysis of the innovativeness of the domestic economy, a range of problems was identified, namely: the presence of an ineffective and weak mechanism for the introduction of innovations in the sphere of economic activity and further commercialization, an insufficient level of financing, the outflow of qualified personnel, a high degree of riskiness, and others. According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the share of innovative products in the volume of industrial products sold in Ukraine is less than 3% and is currently the smallest among European countries. The export of innovative products is about half of the realization of innovative products, which causes a decrease in the competitiveness of Ukraine on world markets, in particular high-tech ones, and leads to the consolidation of Ukraine’s status as a raw material and lowtech country. Extremely small amounts of funding for innovations and in fact the absence of budgetary funding for the scientific sphere indicate an unjustified slowdown in the process of post-industrialization of the Ukrainian economy. It has been proven that the creation of favorable conditions for the development and improvement of the efficiency of scientific and innovative activities is a priority task of the state innovation policy, because the influence of scientific, technical and innovative spheres on the development and growth of the economic system is of crucial importance in the process of building a post-industrial economy in Ukraine. The measures to overcome the main obstacles on the way to “post-industrialization” of the domestic economy are substantiated. The article notes the need to develop science-intensive, resource-saving and information technologies; strengthening the role and importance of the human factor along with increasing costs for training highly qualified workers; expanding the scale of use of information and communication technologies, forming new stereotypes of thinking and models of economic behavior of individuals and forming a unique information culture.

ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ РОЗВИТКУ ГІРНИЧОРУДНОЇ ПРОМИСЛОВОСТІ УКРАЇНИ У СВІТОВОМУ КОНТЕКСТІ

he main global trends in the development of the mining industry in recent years are considered; a constant increase in the intensity of development of the earth's subsoil and extraction of mineral products in recent decades is shown; the world's largest mining countries are highlighted. It was established that China (23 % of world production), the USA (12 %), Russia (9 %), and Australia (7 %) are the leading countries in terms of production volume. China, the USA, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Australia are the leaders in terms of the value of mined products. It has been established that in recent years (2015–2021) the growth of mining of lithium, rare earths, niobium, titanium, bauxite, nickel, fluorite, graphite, etc. was especially rapid, while the mining of tin, mercury, antimony, uranium, tantalum, technical diamonds, etc. decreased. It was established that at the end of the 20s, the development of the mining industry was negatively affected by the consequences of the pandemic, but already at the end of 2020, the state of the mining industry began to improve. The role and place of Ukraine in the global mining industry is shown, which ranks 24th in the world in terms of volume of production, and 36th in terms of the value of mined products; and takes leading positions in the production of iron, manganese, titanium, etc. In recent years (2015–2021), the production of iron, manganese, titanium, feldspar, graphite, sulfur, and coking coal has increased significantly in Ukraine, but the production of gallium, bentonite, salt, zircon, coal, and uranium has decreased.

Digitization and cyber security in ensuring the banks security in wartime conditions

One of the main trends in banking in the modern world is the use of digital technologies. The implementation of digital technologies in banking contributes to the development of an inclusive society, the availability and improvement of the quality of financial services, financial literacy and culture, and management efficiency. Digitization has provided new opportunities for increasing banks' competitiveness and increasing the number of customers and institutions' profits. At the same time, it has caused new challenges and threats related to ensuring the confidentiality of information, mistrust and limited access to digital technologies, insufficient level of digital competencies, cyber-attacks, etc. The purpose of the article is to analyze trends in the financial security of Ukrainian banks in the conditions of war and rapid digitization, as well as to analyze possible cyber threats to the banking system of Ukraine. The article determines Ukraine's place in the Digital Competitiveness Rating for 2017–2022. An analysis of the main indicators of digitalization of Ukrainian banks during 2018–2023 was conducted, which showed a high level of digitalization. To assess the impact of digitalization on the financial security of banks, the dynamics of changes in the main indicators of banking institutions of Ukraine during 2018–2023 were studied. Based on this, the level of financial security of banks was determined using indicators and an integral indicator. Thus, during the analyzed period, the level of financial security of banks was assessed as unsatisfactory. It is emphasized that the digitalization of the banking sector poses a serious threat – a large number of cyber attacks and fraud, which has an extremely negative impact on the level of financial security of banks. Measures and methods of ensuring the cyber security of banks by the NBU in the conditions of a large-scale invasion of Ukraine are considered. The article analyzes the main trends in the financial security of Ukrainian banks in the context of digitalization for the period from 2018 to 2022, which showed an increase in the number of cyber attacks on the banking sector. It has been proven that the war on the territory of Ukraine has a negative effect on the functioning of the banking system. However, thanks to the effective regulatory activities of the National Bank of Ukraine, the banking system quickly adapted to negative changes, and despite military actions, terror and cyber attacks, continues its work. Digitization of the banking system remains an important factor in the development and promotion of the state's economy. It opens up new perspectives for improving customer experience, increasing efficiency and implementing innovations.

Global and national aspects of food security in the minds of an unstable economy

As a result of Russia's aggression and the cessation of the export of Ukrainian agricultural products by sea, 22 million tons of grain were blocked in Ukrainian ports. This has significantly limited the ability of Ukrainian farmers to sell grain for the 2021 and 2022 harvests, while at the same time increasing the threat of global hunger, since almost half of all supplies under the UN World Food Program come from Ukraine. The subject of the study is ensuring food security in Ukraine and the world as a whole. The purpose of this scientific work is the analysis of modern conditions that affect compliance with food security in the global dimension. The main scientific methods used in writing the article were: analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, abstract-logical method. It has been established that the unblocking of Ukrainian ports and the resumption of grain and oilseed exports is of crucial importance both for the economy of Ukraine and for global food security. The results of the study indicate that Ukraine currently has three export routes - ports on the Danube, railways and highways. However, each of them has its own shortcomings. For example, the Danube ports have limited capacity due to the lack of barges, berths and terminals. Previously, Ukraine almost did not use this export route and therefore did not invest in it. In turn, railway and road logistics are hampered by heavy traffic jams at the borders, lack of wagons and fuel, phytosanitary procedures, as well as the difference between the European and Ukrainian (wider by 9 cm) tracks. Another significant problem is the lack of storage capacity in European ports, which are not adapted to such volumes of grain transshipment. It has been studied that almost a third of agricultural land is unsuitable for planting because it is mined. It was considered that even if the Ukrainian government manages to organize new ways of exporting food from the country, the export of the 2021/2022 marketing year was significantly smaller than last year. In 2023, due to the significant reduction in cultivated areas caused by the war, it is likely that it will not be possible to collect too large crops, and therefore, the share of Ukrainian products in the world food market will significantly decrease. Ukraine's place can be taken by other producers, in particular Brazil, Argentina, India, Canada and the USA. A significant reduction in Ukraine's exports has been established. The food security system is presented, which includes the conditions for ensuring food security and dimensions of food security. Russian aggression against Ukraine has been proven to be another economic challenge for developing countries in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which threatens their food security. A decrease in the production and export of grain from Ukraine and Russia, as well as an increase in the price of energy raw materials and fertilizers will lead to an increase in food prices in the world. Key words: food security, war in Ukraine, export, food security system.

MANAGEMENT OF THE AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES' COMPETITIVENESS IN THE CONTEXT OF FOOD SECURITY

In the modern conditions of globalisation and transformation, food supply, food safety and development of the agricultural sector are the determining factors of stability. The country's agriculture requires increased competitiveness and the formation of competitive advantages, and agricultural production is one of the risky types of business activity. The insufficient level of development of enterprises in the agricultural sector is due to the need for a system of effective mechanisms for managing the development and competitiveness of agricultural enterprises. The aim of the publication is to study the trends in the development, formation and functioning of agrarian enterprises in the current realities and to develop a mechanism for managing the competitiveness of agrarian enterprises. Results. The paper considers the issues of peculiarities, trends in the development and functioning of agricultural enterprises in modern conditions. The essence of the concept of competitiveness and peculiarities of formation of competitiveness of agricultural enterprises are defined. An assessment of agricultural production is carried out and an analysis by groups of producers is carried out. The dynamics of the number of agricultural enterprises for 2008-2021 was determined. Factors influencing the formation of competitiveness of agricultural enterprises and the place of Ukraine in the world ranking of exporters of agricultural products have been studied. The essence of the mechanism of managing the competitiveness of agricultural formations is substantiated. A model of the mechanism of managing the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises was developed, including economic, organisational and legal subsystems. Conclusions. The existence of competitive advantages is an essential aspect of competitiveness, and increasing the level of competitiveness of agricultural formations and optimising their functioning in conditions of uncertainty is a priority direction of the agricultural sphere of the national economy. Competitive agriculture should ensure the country's food security and contribute to the effective development of rural areas.
