APPROACHES AND PRINCIPLES OF THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT DISPARITIES’ REGULATION

The subject of research is theoretical approaches to the structuring of instruments regulating regional disparities which prevail in normative economics. The goal of the research is to elaborate and evaluate the approaches to regulation of regional disparities and formation or improving of the principles of regional disparities' regulation. The tasks of the study is to outline the theoretical approaches to the regulation of regional disparities, the formulation of principles of disparities regulation, the recommendations of using these principles during the working out the policy which impacts onto the regional unevenness. Methods of theoretical generalization and classifications, groupings, as well as abstract and logical methods are used in the article. It is shown that overcoming of the crisis in regions is impossible without gradual state regulation of the socio-economic sphere, thus the coordination of the state and regional interests in theoretical terms is realized through the elaboration of principles of regional development and disparities' regulation. The term ?regional agreement? is characterized and it means the solving of the conflict of interests as follows: in plane spatial development ? economic, social and environmental interests, also between the state and regions, and between the authorities and civil society. The results of the research can be used in the working out of the theory of regional development regulation and the forming of the state regional policy. The principles regulating regional disparities are the following: consideration and coordination of stakeholders interests, of self-reliance and independence, achieving the parity of regulative methods partnership, self-sufficiency, optimality, capability to perceive the management influence and bilateralism of management, responsibility, exclusivity, logic sequence. The practical possibilities of the implementation of the regional regulation' principles are shown. It is proved that the principles have no hierarchic view and the choice of a principle depends on the goal of the state regional policy.
