Regional politics is the common denominator of democracy and market economy. A state can be strong only if strong regions are developed, since the main principle of increasing the level of democracy in society is an effective local government as close as possible to the people. The right of citizens to govern the state is realized primarily at the local level. It is here that there is a chance like nowhere else to reveal the initiative of millions of citizens, involve them in public life. If there is no such local authority in the state, then there is no democracy in it either. At the same time, the problem of regional policy is no less important. After all, each of the regions of the state has its own specifics, and only with its consideration we can achieve a harmonious balance of national and local interests. In reality, we have a number of screaming problems: depressed areas of mining settlements, small towns, etc., of which, in the end, are the big problems of Ukraine. Taking this into account, the absence of a balanced regional policy leads to the disintegration of any country, which is a particularly dangerous factor for states with a short history of democratic development.
