REGIONALIZATION AND ECONOMIC SECURITY

The problem of regionalization and economic security has been observed, approaches to the problem solution of reducing the negative impact factors of regionalization on the region and country economic stability level have been suggested. It has been determined that the problem solution ensuring region economic stability at simultaneous increasing of its independence in making economic decisions requires substantial research. Nowadays a weak elaboration of theoretical approaches and practical recommendations concerning solution of these questions is observed, while investigations are fragmented. The aim of the investigation is to find approaches to the problem solution of reducing the negative impact factors of regionalization on the region and country economic stability level. It has been grounded in the article that the main reasons for the emergence and development of crisis causing a threat to the economic security of Ukraine are: recession and the loss of the internal market; destruction of scientific and technological capabilities and deindustrialization of the economy, the prevalence and the consequent development of primary industries and reducing finishing industries leads to the degradation of the scientific and technological potential. It has been established that in terms of national security and safety the priority is not only own production, but also outrunning technological leadership. The observed interdependence of regional and national causes of economic stability threats has allowed to differentiate priorities of regionalization and proper economic stability preservation. It has been proved that the state security problem is closely connected with the interaction within the state ? government regulation and market self-regulation. If problems rise to the national security level, in this case the state must solve them, and it is unacceptable in such situation to rely on market mechanisms. The more important is economic problem, the less is the role and place of market mechanisms in its solving. Further studies are aimed at justifying the need to develop an integral economic system (science integration, own production, monetary, financial and banking system) optimizing the mechanism of market self-regulation.
