Environmental and economic bases of cross-border mechanisms creation

Abstract

Transitions in Central and Eastern Europe that we can observe in past years require essential changes in the political, economical and social systems of their countries. As many economists and politicians said the future level of economic an social life of European countries depends on their regional development. Cross-border cooperation is defined in modern economy as effective tool for regional policy formation and realization. Certainly, West European countries have rather good experience in regional and interregional cooperation, known as euro-regions creation and development. Ukrainian government as well as governments of other Eastern European countries defines such priority directions of national and international policy development as euro-regions creation and cross-border cooperation development. But unfortunately there is still no created effective mechanism of cross-border cooperation development in Ukraine, taking into consideration peculiarities of our legislative base and level of economic, social and environmental development. It should be said that environmental problems are substantial for cross-border cooperation between Ukrainian regions and regions of bordering countries. And this aspect of cross-border cooperation is also not yet solved. So, coming from the mentioned problems I consider the topic I am going to research rather actual in modern society.
