The article demonstrates insufficient use of the taxation tools in the anti-crisis and postcrisis measures complex which is being developed now. The conclusion is made that it is perspective for the national governments to deploy these tools as in current situation taxation seems to be practically the only tool with a national not global character. It is justified that taxes themselves may serve as an effective regulator of social-economic development and may realize anti-cyclic function. Three original concepts are formulated regarding the anticrisis opportunities of taxation which will be useful for the practical search of the most suitable subject for anti-crisis regulation. The article substantiates the necessity to alter the direction of the Russian taxation policy for economic recovery which should be aimed at significant lessening of tax burden to innovative sector by means of decreasing tax rates with the highest anti-crisis potential, by increasing stimulating opportunities of the correcting taxes and by increasing dUferentiation of taxation. Particular suggestions on the adjustment of the modern Russian taxation policy are examined in the article.

The paper outlines the current state of the national economy's regional development. By applying the integral indicators presented in the Methods of monitoring and evaluation of implementation of the state regional policy, the author has rated the development of regions and analyzed a gap in their levels of growth. Through the use of methods for identifying depressed areas of the European Union, the level of regional erosion is determined. On that basis, the necessity of overcoming institutional asymmetries that may arise in the process of creating conditions for dynamic and well-balanced development of Ukraine's regions is pointed out. Based on the comparative analysis of foreign practice of crisis management, key approaches to its implementation are described. It is concluded that crisis management is rather searching for opportunities than expecting or forecasting destructive results and finding adaptive solutions.The article describes the essential determinants of regional crisis management, and sets both long-term and short-term goals for crisis management. A particular attention is paid to the necessity of upgrading of management tools and techniques for regional development. It is pointed out that a system of strategic planning of area development should not be based only "on the achieved results", but should take into consideration crisis initiatives of all sectors of economy and forecast built-in stabilizers that will ensure balanced development. In order to stimulate structural reforms aimed at crisis development of areas, it is necessary to use internal and external financial resources. A special emphasis is placed on the potential grant support and contributions from European structural funds.The practical significance of the research lies in the growing importance of institutional framework and organizational support of crisis management of areas, which should be based on a strategic cross-sectoral partnership.The article proves that crisis management of areas should focus on establishing an enabling environment for inclusive development through support of entrepreneurial initiatives and implementation of investment projects aimed at sustainable and innovative growth of areas; creation of employment opportunities, attraction and retention of highly qualified personnel and maintenance of areas' creative capacities.

В первые годы нового тысячелетия в Африке возродилисьростки надежды: некоторые страны при относительностабильных макроэкономических условиях смогли достичьустойчивого роста народного хозяйства. В среднем годо-вой рост показателей континента за 2000–2007 гг. соста-вил 5% – почти на 2% выше мирового уровня. Сравниваяс «азиатскими тиграми», оптимисты ведут речь об «афри-канских львах» – Кении или Камеруне, – которые, как ка-залось, уже завоевали необходимые высоты, чтобы достиг-нуть уровня развития пороговых стран континента.
The following article considers the origins, external and internal factors of the modern crisis in Yemen. It is particularly noted that one of the reasons that Yemen has always been the arena for a clash of interests of the powers due to its strategic position on the sea route connecting Europe with the Indian ocean. It describes in detail how, along with the external threat, North and South Yemen in the second half of the XXth century was torn by internal contradictions. It is noted that after the integration of Yemen in 1990, opposition intensified its activities against the conditions of unification, which led to a new civil war. The article has a strong focus on the fact that in Yemen in the end of twentieth century political factor has been supplemented by religious factor, i.e., the confrontation escalated between the northerners Shia zaidis and the South Sunni. Attention is drawn to the fact that the spread of Wahhabism in Yemen as an ideological and political force, the creation of "al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula" has further aggravated the explosive situation in the country. The analysis of the process of transformation of the theological movement of the Houthis-zaidis into a military-political force, which managed in the Wake of the "Arab spring" and in Alliance with the supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, not only to seize power in Sana'a in January 2015, but also to expand its position up to Aden. The particular emphasis has been placed on the fact that since March 2015 the conflict in Yemen has acquired an international character, when the Saudi coalition (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, Sudan and UAE, Egypt) sided with the President in the exile of Abd Rabbo Mansur Hadi and forced the Houthis to retreat from Aden and Bab El-Mandeb Strait by force of arms. It is noted what changes have occurred in the US policy towards the support of the Saudi coalition in recent years. The role of Iran in Yemen and the nature of its relations with the Houthis cause disputes between researchers. Based on the analysis of recent events, it is concluded that the military actions of the Saudi coalition can lead to the elimination of Yemen as a state. The ongoing armed conflict and the futility of attempts at a political solution make the possibility of a peaceful settlement in Yemen problematical.
