“…Under martial law introduced after the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine, the results of the study are crucially important because international support today is highly needed for Ukraine to be able to oppose the aggressor. The relevance of the topic is confirmed by the previously conducted studies aimed at identifying the internal and external parameters of cooperation and integration of territorial communities at the international level [14] to forecast the strategically important role of international cooperation in activating the processes of social and economic development at the local level [3], to implement the advanced world practices of stimulating the international activity of territorial communities in the process of decentralization [6]. Moreover, the majority of scientific works are devoted to the issues of intensification of the financial components needed to provide for the processes of decentralization and development of territorial communities.…”

“…The researcher specifies aspects which can increase the efficiency of the decentralization policy by involving additional non-budget sources, including cooperation with foreign municipalities. In that case, the development of rural territorial communities should be supported by the elimination of asymmetry and disproportion, tackling social and economic depression and enhancing the living standards of rural populations [3].…”

In the article, international cooperation of territorial communities of Ukraine is defined as a strategic direction to attract financial resources and implement their investment projects. The authors name prerequisites for completing the reform of decentralization in Ukraine. It is stressed that the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine and declaration of martial law have caused structural transformations in the parameters of performance of the local government bodies. The study is devoted to the theoretical and applied aspects of the organization and development of international cooperation among the territorial communities in Ukraine. The paper describes the methodology developed to study the international cooperation of territorial communities. The authors make an assessment of the conditions of international cooperation of territorial communities bordering the European Union countries and present results of the questionnaire conducted amongst managers of the border territorial communities of Ukraine in order to identify parameters of the international activity development. The analysis was conducted to clarify peculiarities of establishing cooperation of the bodies of local government of Ukraine with foreign partners and to find out restrictions and challenges influencing the communities’ opportunity to implement international initiatives and cooperation in conditions of the russian-Ukrainian war. The researchers have developed a complex of measures necessary to improve the efficiency of the international cooperation between Ukrainian local territorial communities bordering the EU and foreign partners by carrying out a promotional campaign among the representatives of the local government bodies and developing a complex system of advanced training for the staff employed at the local power authorities in the field of international activity. It is also needed to enhance the institutional basis regulating the international activity of the territorial communities of Ukraine, to upgrade the financial and economic basis of the international cooperation implementation, as well as to accelerate the rates of development of the border infrastructure objects.

“…The implementation of fiscal decentralization has resulted in the greater interest of local governments in increasing revenues to local budgets by transferring the right to receive more tax revenues and non-tax revenues, finding contingency local budgets, and improving the efficiency of tax administration and fees [23]. The positive consequences of decentralization for the development of rural areas in Ukraine include the activation of self-governance to ensure the sustainable development of rural areas [77,78], an increase in the effectiveness of budgetary funds use [79][80][81][82], improvement of horizontal alignment [83], and the transition of land and other natural resources to communal ownership, ensuring their efficient exploitation [84].…”

Development of Rural Areas in Ukraine in the Context of Decentralization: An Empirical Study

et al. 2022

Decentralization in Ukraine was actualized due to the inability of the local self-government system to satisfy the needs of the rural population in public services for the comprehensive development of a person, their self-realization, and the protection of their constitutional rights. The purpose of this empirical study is to examine development of rural areas in Ukraine in the context of decentralization. The methodology used was exploratory qualitative in nature and used a multiple case study, wherein data analysis were applied. We have found that the first result of decentralization in 2015–2018 is a slowdown in the decline of the proportion of the rural population, in the rate of decline of the available rural population, and the employment rate of the rural population. Our study refutes the hypothesis that the rural development targets, which were defined at the beginning of decentralization and fixed in the current legislation, have been achieved. Rural development targets have not been achieved, and economic modeling shows that there are no prospects for achieving them in the near future. The research results presented in the paper are of considerable importance for developing economic policy and the social development of rural areas, by addressing the needs of these rural areas.

In the context of competition for limited resources for the development of territorial communities in Ukraine, the use of marketing tools in managing local development is becoming increasingly important. One of these tools is positioning. In the case of territorial communities, it is a communicative expression of their identity. This study aims to determine the positioning characteristics of small territorial communities in Ukraine (low-urbanized territories – communities with a predominantly rural population) in formulating their positioning criteria. The subject of the analysis was the strategic visions formulated in the long-term planning documents of low-urbanized territories. Descriptive information was evaluated and grouped using expert methods. It was determined that low-urbanized territories in Ukraine use a multi-criteria approach in the positioning process: the number of applied criteria reached 26 (an average of 6 criteria). Each of them is focused on specific target audiences – residents, investors/local businesses, and tourists/visitors (48% for each of the target audiences). At the same time, less than half of the surveyed communities (44%) position themselves as “territories of developed agriculture”. Since little research has been done on the positioning of territorial communities in the Ukrainian context, this study has contributed new knowledge in this field.
