This article analyzes the civil society dimension and pays particular attention to the role of civil society's organizations within the EU's Eastern Partnership's governance and networking processes. The study is based on the EU's documents' analysis and the data of qualitative interviews conducted between 2011-2014 from the respondents of the EU's institutions (European Commission, EEAS, EP), member states' representations in Brussels, and the members of the Eastern Partnership civil society forum created in 2009. The study shows that the representatives of civil society organizations are seeking to be involved and are existent in most of the stages and interactional modes of the EU's relations with the Eastern Partnership countries, and this process predicts the conditions for the emergence of international governance in the Eastern neighborhood space. On the other hand, the representatives of CSOs are complaining about not being involved enough in the negotiations deciding over the Association or other kind of agreements between the EU and their (EaP) country.

Modern transformation of the economic system of this country led to structural changes in the social environment. Movement of population and human resources inside and outside the country increased. The growth of the scale of international migration processes, their mixed impact on the development of the countries, qualitative transformation of the specified processes determine the importance of the study of demographic and employment dimension of the international migration processes in Ukraine, which is among the main donors of population. The aim of the work is to determine demographic and human dimension of international migration processes in Ukraine. To achieve the goal, we applied dialectical method of scientific knowledge, as well as general scientific and special methods of research. The current state of migration processes in the global economy was examined. It was determined that in the global migration system Ukraine happens to be the country of origin, of transit and arrival of migrants. We analyzed the regional structure of migration flows in the state. It was proved that in recent years the country continues to lose population as a result of emigration, and these losses are not offset by immigration from abroad. This leads to a rapid decrease of the population of Ukraine. In addition, we tackled the problem of emigration of highly skilled labour force out of the country while the main channels of immigration into the country were identified. One of these channels is educational migration because Ukraine is included into the top ten leaders in the international market of educational services. It was substantiated that the target guideline of the state migration policy of Ukraine should be keeping the country's intellectual potential, for which it is necessary to ensure the execution of the following tasks: provision of financial and material resources to the development of science and higher education; funding in full the salaries of teachers in higher education, research workers; development of programs to preserve intellectual potential of the country; development of a mechanism for stimulating research activities and training of qualified professionals. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is in the developing and clarifying theoretical and practical foundations of the research into the issues of demographic and employment dimension of international migration processes in Ukraine. The practical value of the research results is in the definition of the target guideline of the state migration policy of Ukraine, which should be the preservation of the intellectual potential of the country. The participation of Ukraine in the international migration of skilled people should include an evolutionary process of rapprochement with the scientific and technological environment, and this process requires coordinated actions of all branches of government and business, predetermining the need for further research in this direction.

Здійснено спробу оспорити вагомий вплив глобалізації на функціонування держави у внутрішній і зовнішній площині та на проблему втрати державою суверенітету.Дослідження беззаперечного проте неоднозначного процесу глобалізації дало змогу віднайти на практиці велику кількість аргументів, які дають змогу зробити висновок, що в сценарії майбутнього розвитку головні ролі, як і раніше, належатимуть сильним державам, їхнім національним інтересам, могутність яких тільки зросте завдяки економічній інтеграції. Роль національних урядів не зменшується, а видозмінюється у відповідності до викликів глобалізації, пов'язані, насамперед, із намаганням приватного капіталу регулювати і транснаціональну діяльність, державну владу, і міжнародні організації.

Причому ці тенденції часто будуть імпломентуватися в політику ряду держав, які переслідують стратегічні цілі (укріплення власного суверенітету в XXI столітті буде супроводжуватись або відбуватись за рахунок обмеження суверенітету інших).

The role of the national governments does not lessen; it just alters according to the globalization challenges connected first of all with attempts of the private capital to regulate the transnational activity, state authority and international organizations. Future world policy will be featured by struggle (antagonism) of two opposite trends; strengthening of the sovereignty, on the one hand, and its erosion or restrictions on the other. Moreover, these trends will be often implemented into politics of number of states pursueing strategic goals (in XXI century strengthening of the own sovereignty will be performed or will be accompanied by limiting the sovereignty of others). However, this does not contradict to the idea that the state still remains principal participant of the international relations and that the sovereignty remains its attributive feature and a basic principle for constructing the international relations. ; Здійснено спробу оспорити вагомий вплив глобалізації на функціонування держави у внутрішній і зовнішній площині та на проблему втрати державою суверенітету.Дослідження беззаперечного проте неоднозначного процесу глобалізації дало змогу віднайти на практиці велику кількість аргументів, які дають змогу зробити висновок, що в сценарії майбутнього розвитку головні ролі, як і раніше, належатимуть сильним державам, їхнім національним інтересам, могутність яких тільки зросте завдяки економічній інтеграції.

This article analyzes the factors of expatriate international assignment success: the process, empirical level, the experience of expatriates on a national level. Theoretical and empirical analysis reveals that success depends mostly on the candidates selected, their motivation, ability to adjust to change, wish to improve, ability to adjust to a new environment, effectively act in order to achieve goals, the situation of an employee's family. The results of the research carried out showed that one of most complex stages of the expatriation process is the adjustment of expatriates during international assignment which has significant impact on international assignment success and satisfaction of individual expectations or various failures and emergence of individual problems. It has been proved that the success of the adjustment stage and the entire expatriation process is mostly influenced by the personal strengths of employees, their professional, social, adjustment skills, international experience and a favorable situation of their families
The last decade of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century are characterized by an unprecedented intensification of the processes of mergers and acquisitions of the companies both in the developed and the developing countries. The companies working in information business underwent changes. The question arises of the expediency of the processes of mergers and acquisitions, of the efficiency of consolidation and concentration of capital in the field of information business. The aim of the research is the development of a methodological approach and the formation, based on it, of the mechanism of organizational and economic concentration and consolidation in the management of information business in modern global economy. The main research methods are dialectical method of scientific knowledge, general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, comparative analysis and generalization of data. The conducted research into the volumes of mergers and acquisitions in the sector of information technologies, which directly affects the formation of the information business, has allowed revealing that the creation of new business models through the merger of capital caused bankruptcies. It is proven that 70% of profitable agreements were not implemented because of the not properly elaborated system of integration of the companies. We made a conclusion that due to the absence of an efficient mechanism for mergers and acquisitions of capital, after the processes of integration many companies in the information business did not have the opportunity to function efficiently. It was revealed that to ensure management of the concentration of capital it is necessary to identify and study related processes; to establish a set of conditions and parameters that characterize each process; to assign a manager who would manage and monitor a single simple process. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is the substantiation of the necessity of the application of organizational–economic mechanism during consolidation and concentration of capital in the information business based on the analysis of the dynamics of mergers and acquisitions in the sector of information technologies. The practical significance of the obtained results is the possibility of application of organizational–economic mechanism during mergers and acquisitions of capital in the information business. The application of this mechanism will improve the process of consolidation and provide the ability to control the capital and make the necessary changes on the consistent and regular basis. The processes of managing the concentration and consolidation of the capital are new for the economies of the world, so the trends of their occurrence define the directions of further research.
The urgent problem of modern international relations – complex peacekeepingcollective actions in conflct management and prevention including the proliferation of the conflctsand reduction of their negative impact on the separate countries and regions – are examined. Theessence of the types and kinds of peacekeeping operations is examined. Taking into account thatin the modern world there are many long-term and unresolved conflcts and of course they affectboth international relations and the situation in the separate countries and regions, it is importantto examine the value and the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations in modern internationalrelations. The article is aimed to examine the peacekeeping operations in modern internationalrelations. The author considers it appropriate to reveal the essence of peacemaking, types andkinds of peacekeeping operations as well as to examine the history of their conduct and to analyzecurrent international peacekeeping operations to summarize their rating. The essence of classicpeacekeeping operations and of the operations conducted under the auspices of internationalorganizations and separate countries is characterized. International relations and peacekeepingactivities in overcoming of the most dangerous conflcts in Libya and Syria are under consideration.It is proved that during the recent decades a number of comprehensive peace operations havebeen conducted, even with the use of the military component. Peacemaking is always a complexprocess that is associated with the preparation of making an important decision. The use of force orcoercion to peace is not a guarantee of freezing of the armed confrontation and human deaths. Viceversa, one can see on the example of Libya that fistly there was no unity according to the beginningof the military operation among the member countries of NATO. Second, there is still an armedconfrontation in Libya now continues to armed confrontation. Thirdly, the consequence of thedestabilization in the country was an illegal migration to the European Union. The last can affecta crisis in European countries. According to it, one can argue that there are no effective standardsworked out by the international community to settle armed conflcts for now. All this proves acontroversial importance of peacekeeping operations in modern international relations because onone hand they help to create the safer world, on the other hand they resulted in provoking furtherproblems and conflcts ; Рассмотрены миротворческие операции как актуальная проблема совре -менных международных отношений.

The paper summarizes the basic international principles of legislative regulation of the media and the settlement of regulatory relations in the field of information on the basis of a comprehensive theoretical and methodological analysis of the international leg-islation concerning human rights and freedoms in the sphere of information and the set-tlement information relations, principles and mechanisms of regulation and control of resources mass communication.International legal acts in the field of information: the Convention of United Nations, resolutions and recommendations of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembleia and declarations, resolutions and recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe more influence on the formation and development of the global infor-mation society. Only the Council of Europe, of which Ukraine is a member, adopted more than one hundred legal documents relating to the management of information relations, human rights and freedoms in the information sphere.Ukraine's membership in public international organizations (UN, Council of Europe) confirms its status as an integral part of the European and global media space, and com-mits to implement into national law the provisions of international agreements and re-lated legislation. At the same time, taking international experience and standards should take into account national specifics, in particular: the conditions of post-totalitarian en-vironment of functioning of mass media, the mentality of Ukrainian society and the au-thorities, and other features of adaptation of international law to domestic realities. ; У статті узагальнено базові міжнародні принципи законодавчого регулювання ме-діа та врегулювання нормативно-правових відносин в інформаційній сфері на основі комплексного теоретико-методологічного аналізу міжнародних законодавчих актів, що стосуються прав та свобод людини в інформаційній сфері, врегулювання інформа-ційних відносин, принципів та механізмів регулювання і контролю діяльності засобів ...
The role of higher education institutions in the world is growing in ensuring socio-economic development that is the result of the transition to the paradigm of knowledge economy in the most developed countries. Started in 2014, the reform of higher education system in Ukraine must, among other things, include ensuring the implementation of national intellectual capital through technologies transfer. The relevance of the article is predetermined by the need for a comprehensive approach to the preparation of plans for reforms in the period of global competition for knowledge as the main resource for development. The purpose of writing the article is substantiation of the recommendations on the most urgent aspects of the development of technology transfer in Ukraine on the basis of generalization of foreign experience and the analysis of domestic realities. To achieve the objective we identified the following tasks: to generalize theoretical principles of TT; to identify the world leaders of the TT and their peculiarities; to explore the characteristics of the development of TT in developing countries; to study the current status of TT in Ukraine. The article substantiates that the establishment of the developed innovative economy in which the activity of the TT is an important factor, as a rule, takes a long time. Results of the study showed that the lack of efficient activity of TT is often due to the fact that this activity is viewed separately from the more complex issue of knowledge management in all forms, in particular as a mandatory stage of R & D. The lack of implementation of the competence–based model in domestic Universities, research centers, businesses and state and local governments leads to the fact that the activities of TT do not have any mentioning of entrepreneurial, marketing competences. Their lack, in turn, causes low efficiency of TT activities. In the developed countries, the growth of the commercial activity of the Universities and research centers came as a result of evolutionary demands of society regarding the efficiency of investments in science and education. In the developing countries, such as Ukraine, the desire of commercial aspect in the development of the commercial aspect of TT is considered in terms of the impossibility of providing sufficient and stable funding, lack of financial mechanisms of accumulation of the results of successful TT. Under such circumstances, the really concerned are exclusively the employees of Universities and research centers themselves, the interests of whom are detached from other stakeholders' intentions, the unity of whom is substantiated in the triple helix concept. The effectiveness of efforts with regard to TT is limited by the lack of opportunities of accumulation of financial results from the commercialization of OÌV in domestic Universities. Received financial results often are allocated on current activities because of insufficient, falling financing from traditional sources. The means of the state budget must remain the main traditional source, but in this case engaging other sources must be supported. The negative dynamics of spending state funds on research and educational activities is predetermined by various factors, among which is insufficient disclosure of the recipients from the state funds of the reports about the results and the analysis of the efficiency of their spending. Lack of publicity, lack of transparency may testify to the privatization of the results of the activities by individual subjects or to a significant corruption component in their activities. At the same time, lack of publicity can indicate a low level of public accountability of the results and inability to take responsibility for certain risks. The lack of information about created effects, including multiplying, from the implementation of OÌV and technologies provides prerequisites for the relative "victories" in the competition for budget funds in other areas. Introduction of the competence–based model, in particular entrepreneurial and marketing competencies, into the activities of TT of national institutions should improve their efficiency in the medium term to the level of the developed countries. Taking into account the obtained findings during the development of the reform of the system of education and science will increase their level of international competitiveness and the level of efficiency of investments in this field, which will have comprehensive positive impact on national prosperity. Scientific novelty of the work is proven by: substantiating of the implementation of long–term strategies to increase competitiveness of universities and research centers as key institutions in the generation and transfer of knowledge; detecting the insufficiency of entrepreneurial, marketing and other competences in the development policy of the University offices of technology transfer; substantiation of the necessity of implementation of societal requirements concerning accountability of universities and research centers for disclosure of the efficiency of spending tax payers' money and their contribution to socio-economic development of the regions and the country. There remains a wide range of issues, the study of which my reflected in further work. In particular, we believe relevant: 1) justification of a scorecard measuring all aspects of TT; 2) study of the formation of professional networks in the field of TT; 3) substantiation of the system of motivation and efficiency of cooperation of all involved players; 4) methodological work with the patent policies of the universities and their convergence with scientific and research institutions; 5) building a culture of public accountability of institutions of scientific and educational spheres as recipients of the taxpayers' funds.
