The article considers the process of development of the decentralization reform in Ukraine, started in 2014. The aim of the article is to analyze the conformity of the reform process with the strategic goals declared be government and expectations of the European organizations that have directed their efforts to support democratization and improve the quality of administration in Ukraine. The article focuses on the historical and political significance of the concept of «Europe of Regions», the influence of which determined the course of the integration process on the European continent and of the task of regionalization of the countries of Europe. In the article was proposed to consider the reform of decentralization in Ukraine in the context of a pan-European trend that began more than sixty years ago. The author drew attention to the existence of a significant scientific base, formed in Europe as a result of the development of decentralization reforms. Was considered the process of forming the European policy of decentralization and regionalization, was noted the influence of such organizations as the Assembly of European Regions, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Europe, the Council of European Municipalities and Regions, the Committee of the EU Region. It was pointed out that devolution, deconcentration, divestiture, and deregulation are traditionally the forms of decentralization, which manifest themselves in the political, budgetary and administrative spheres with the aim of weakening centralism and overcoming the unification and unitarist tendencies. The article examines the strategic goals of the government of Ukraine from 2014 and the expert and institutional assessments of the four-year stage of reform in Ukraine. It is indicated that the data of national sociological companies diverge from the expert assessments presented in 2017–2018 by the organizations of the Council of Europe and the EU, as well as by the parliamentary committee of the Ukraine-EU Association. It is noted that the declared goals of the government to implement Decentralization reforms in practice prove to be poorly supported by real actions. The reason for this is the unwillingness to carry out a full-scale reform, on the one hand, in connection with the events in Donbass and the Crimea, and on the other hand, due to the divergence of the views of Ukrainian reformers with the ideas of the supporters of the European idea of «Europe of the Regions». ; В статье рассмотрен процесс развития реформы децентрализации в Украине, начатой в 2014 году. Целью статьи определен анализ соответствия процесса реформирования анонсированным правительством стратегическим целям и ожиданиям европейских организаций, которые направили свои усилия на поддержку демократизации и повышение качества администрирования в Украине. В статье делается акцент на исторической и политической значимости концепции «Европа регионов», влияние которой определило ход интеграционного процесса на европейском контитенте и задачи регионализации стран Европы. Предложено рассматривать реформу децентрализации в Украине в контексте общеевропейской тенденции, начавшейся более шестидесяти лет назад. Автором акцентировано внимание на существовании значительной научной базы, сформировавшейся в Европе в результате разработки реформ децентрализации. Рассмотрен процесс формирования европейской политики децентрализации и регионализации, отмечено влияние таких организаций как Ассамблея европейских регионов, Конгресс местных и региональных органов власти Европы, Совет европейских муниципалитетов и регионов, Комитет регионов ЕС. Указано, что формами децентрализации традиционно выступают деволюция, деконцентрация, дивестиция, дерегуляция, которые проявляются в политической, бюджетной и административной сферах с целью ослабления централизма и преодоления унификационной и унитаристской тенденций. В статье рассмотрены стратегические цели правительства Украины с 2014 года и экспертные и институциональные оценки четырехлетнего этапа реформирования в Украине. Указано, что данные национальных социологических компаний расходятся с экспертными оценками, представленными в 2017–2018 годах организациями Совета Европы и ЕС, а также парламентским комитетом Ассоциации Украина — ЕС. Отмечено, что декларируемые цели правительства осуществить реформы децентрализации на практике оказываются слабо поддержаны реальными действиями. Причиной тому называется неготовность осуществить полномасштабное реформирование, с одной стороны, в связи с событиями на Донбасе и в Крыму, а с другой стороны, в связи с расхождением представлений украинских реформаторов с представлениями сторонников европейской идеи «Европы регионов». ; У статті розглянуто процес розвитку чергового етапу реформи децентралізації в Україні, розпочатої в 2014 році, з огляду на анонсовані урядом стратегічні цілі та з огляду на очікування європейських організацій, які спрямували свої зусилля на підтримку демократизації та підвищення якості адміністрування в Україні. У статті розглянуто стратегічні цілі уряду, експертні та інституційні оцінки чотирирічного етапу реформування в Україні, представлено цілі реформ децентралізації та досвід реформування в країнах Європи, простежено процес розвитку форм децентралізації: дереuуляції, деконцентрації, деволюції, дівестиції, проаналізовано реалізацію цих форм в адміністративній, бюджетній та політичній сферах.

International business, historically, consisted of trade and transactions of goods being exchanged between different parties. It embodies manufacturing, purchasing, shipping and marketing of specific products under different brands and shapes within a highly competitive environment. After the research and findings conducted by Adam Smith and elaborated in his book the wealth of nations, the world made tremendous changes. The Division of work and tasks along with the evolution of the business concept and trade more control and coordination are needed nowadays. Since the evolution by itself created new processes to implement, the human behavior faced new challenges as well, the repercussion of the latter affected the exchange of goods and services system and the situation is becoming more ambiguous to understand if what drives the forces in trade are result of violence carried out by market forces or initiated in organizational culture! The success in international business depends on many key factors namely; the product's quality and costs, the financial, political and legal ingredients, cultural differences and similarities, the availability of natural and human resources to acquire and sustain competitive advantage, within a secured and stable environment. This research focuses upon the cultural- military environment and its impact on national and international business trends in mainly the MENA region.

Relevance. Integration processes form the modern image of the innovative model of the economy through the successful functioning and competent interrelation of the structural elements of the innovation system at the national and regional levels. The control levers of such systems should be effective, and therefore sufficiently diverse and flexible, so as not to limit the system, but to ensure the processes of its functioning and development in the conditions of the singularity of the external environment. A new approach to the study of the problems of innovative development of the region can be offered by the theory of systems with an emphasis on a new understanding of complex self-organizing structures, as well as the concept of open innovation, which allows participants in the innovation process to establish partnerships based on knowledge exchange.The purpose of the study is to find a model solution to the problem of managing the development of integration processes in the innovation environment of the region.The objectives of the study can be formulated as follows: identification of problems of innovative development of the territory; study of theoretical constructions of the development of integration processes in the innovation environment of the region; theoretical justification and development of a model solution for the formation of interaction of stakeholders of the innovation process based on the model of the «Quadruple Innovation Helix».Methodology. The research methodology consists of general scientific methods of cognition, statistical methods, as well as principles and methods of a systematic approach.Results. One of the important problems of the innovative development of the territory is the low level of integration processes that ensure the interaction of regional stakeholders. A model solution to the problem of managing the development of integration processes based on the principles of managing a region as a complex dynamic system and an open innovation model is proposed. This model reveals the problem of balancing the innovative development of the region from the perspective of taking into account the interests of participants in the innovation process.Conclusions. The use of the proposed model allows a comprehensive and systematic approach to the study of the possibilities of effective interaction of participants in the innovation process in the region with the observance of the conditions of balance and synergy as a result for the evaluation of the integration process.

The Renaissance experienced some of the most important advances in human history: the invention of the printing press using movable letters, the discovery of an unknown continent, and the formulation of a new view of the earth. It was a time when people sought to solve the riddles of nature, experimented with alchemy, set out to develop a new medical science, conceived a new vision of humankind, and created beauty in the form of pictures and architecture, sculpture and literature. All these discoveries and creations would have been unimaginable without cultural exchange. The Renaissance was an era of dialogue and new horizons in thinking over great distances and time
