The paper analyzes the specifics of the formation and implementation of cultural policy in the EU and participation of Ukraine in the Creative Europe programme. Using systematic and comparative methods, as well as historicism and objectivity, the paper presents the main areas of cooperation of Ukrainian cultural and creative industries in the implementation of the Programme. The formation of cultural policy in the EU remains the domain of the governments of the member states; but launched in the early 2000s comprehensive programmes«Culture», intended to last several years, aimed at preserving cultural heritage, supporting various creative sectors – art, literature, architecture, etc. – aimed at developing intercultural dialogue and mutual respect of all EU citizens. Summarily, the mechanism to implement them is as follows: the European institutions approve the strategic document «European Agenda for Culture», and implementation of it is regulated by Work Plans for Culture with specific priorities, methods, steps, and deadlines. The Creative Europe programme has become the first full-scale practice of Ukraine in the area of cultural policy together with the EU countries. The Creative Europe programme consists of three sub-programmes that define individual sectors of the cultural and creative industries. International partnership and partial funding of the Programme are the prerequisites for participation in it. The participation of Ukrainian artists in the EU Programme enriches the experience of international cooperation, promotes new creative initiatives, changes in cultural management, mastering new forms of interaction and coordination between state institutions and art centers, better understanding, tolerance and openness of Ukrainians on the path to European integration.

The relevance of this study is determined by the strengthening of migration processes, caused by the development and deepening of globalization and integration processes, and the emergence of the opposing processes. It has been indicated that migration processes influence greatly the direction and pace of development of the global and domestic economy, demographic processes in most countries, enhancement or reduction of the social standards, and other aspects of our lives. It has been determined that nowadays our country doesn't have any unified comprehensive concept of the migration policy that would give the country and its citizens opportunity to become high-grade members of the European Community, keep and fully protect their civil, labour and social rights and freedoms. The aim of the study is to analyze the modern migration policy of the European countries and to define recommendations on the strengthening of the communication between domestic and European migration policy. Methods of the systemic, structural analysis, logical analysis, factual analysis and situational approach have been used in order of achieving the stated aim. During the study it has been found that modern migration policy of the European countries is formed under the influence of the defined factors: demographics, significant changes in conditions of the modern labour market, increase of the intensity of external migration flows, military conflicts on the territory of Ukraine and Syria, deepening of the problem of international terrorism, permanent financial crisis in some countries of the European Union, the referendum in the UK on the decision to exit the EU. According to the results of the research, recommendations on the necessity to study and apply the fundamentals and principles of the European migration policies in defined spheres have been formed.
The article is dedicated to the study of the concept of Normative Power Europe as well as to the critical analysis of this concept against the background of the negotiation process as for the conclusion of the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine. Normative Power Europe has been often offered as a major explanatory tool for understanding EU's foreign policy, particularly with regards to its relations with the countries included in the Neighborhood Policy. The article offers analysis of the transformation of the internal political situation in Ukraine against the background of the continuation of these negotiations as well as of the initiatives and priorities that the EU had in this process. The article provides insight into the dramatic period of the negotiation process within years 2010–2014 and explains different aspects of the bargaining instruments utilized for the negotiation process. Separately, EU relations with Russia are analyzed against the background of the mentioned negotiations. The major conclusion of the offered analysis is the thesis that the concept of Normative Power Europe was not the basis of the EU policies towards Ukraine during the negotiation process as for the conclusion of the Association Agreement. Furthermore, the EU relations with Russia in the context of the development of the "Ukrainian crisis" reinforce the limitations of the use of the concept of Normative Power Europe both due to the absence of asymmetry in EU relations with other global actors and due to the priority of EU's own interests over the moral and philosophical principles put at the foundations of the concept of Normative Power Europe.

The article describes advanced foreign experience concerning development of inclusive tourism in the leading European countries. It has been shown that inclusive tourism should take a worthy place among the means of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities, which will enable the restoration of psychophysiological state and active social adaptation. The EU and the world have long been on the rails for active development of integration tourism for people with disabilities, as it is considered unparalleled contribution to the adaptation of people with physical disabilities to modern society. In addition, cognitive and sports tourism for people with disabilities is actively developing in many European countries. There, the development of tourism for people with disabilities is linked to the healing component of religious tourism. The basic problems of inclusive tourism in Ukraine and the causes of their occurrence are analyzed. For Ukraine, this issue is particularly relevant, as there is a specific category of people – participants and victims of ATO. An important component of the successful development of inclusive tourism in Ukraine should be the adaptation of tourist routes and their transport accessibility. The need to adapt the urban environment and infrastructure to the needs of people with disabilities is long overdue. This problem can be solved by providing a disabled person with the care and assistance, or adaptation of the infrastructure to the needs of people with disabilities giving them the opportunity to feel free and confident in the society. In our country, important is the problem of insufficient regulation of the current legislation on these issues, implementation of the qualified training of specialists, allocation of funds from the budget, etc. A number of necessary measures are proposed for the successful development of the inclusive tourism industry in modern conditions. Prospective directions of the development of this branch in our state are determined. The main task of the society and ...

The goal of the article is the analysis of the prerequisites and peculiarities of political trend changes in Europe in the way of the right ideological articulations strengthening and according to this the circumscription prospects for the implementation of Ukraine's conservative ideology at the level of public administration strategy within the specified tendency. Methodology of the research is based on the normative-value and institutional approaches which were applied as methodological instruments for cognition political-ideological landscape in modern Europe, among key tendencies of which is the essential slope to the side of right forces (moderate and extreme ideas). To them is also added the comparative approach which allows to compare ideological positions of extreme and moderate right forces, and also to draw a parallel between the situation in Europe and Ukraine. Applying the method of modeling in this very case gives the possibility to underline the main perspectives of the implementations of the right idea and conservative ideology in the social and political life of Ukraine at the present stage. Among the main results and conclusions which were got in this article, is worth to point out the reasoning of the right-centrist conservative ideological vector of Ukrainian statehood development including present popularity of right forces in Europe and also those threats which brings Russian aggression and oligarchically-political system of management of our country. The basic political lessons on the ground of European experience for Ukraine are made: revival of the interest to the conservatism like the ideology, doctrines and strategies of statehood management; support of the conservative course by institutional and constitutional mechanisms; making the "third way" between Scylla of eurointegration and Hariboda of the "Russian world".
The article deals with the distinguishing features of the political development of the East European countries. The objectives of this study were to: identify the distinguishing features of the civilizational periphery regarding the civilizational center; identify the manifestation of the civilizational periphery as an area of civilizational interaction in the Eastern Europe region; identify the distinguishing features of the political development of the East European countries in the framework of civilizational approach. Following research is based on the feasibility of the civilizational approach regarding the analyses of sociopolitical change, especially regarding those particular trends in the domestic and foreign policy of the countries, which unfold not due to the current political situation, but as result of belonging to a certain civilization system. The conducted research allowed to explore the geospatial structure of the European civilization, it's center and periphery, which includes the region of Eastern Europe. The most important feature of the civilizational periphery, as an area of civilizational interaction, has been identified as a competition of social institutions, political systems and values, determined through civilizational independence. The use of the comparative analysis of the main stages and trends of political development in Ukraine and Russia, allowed to show, how Ukraine at various stages demonstrated it's fundamental affiliation to European civilization (in particular and to a certain extent to the West European) through permanent and diverse connections, despite being formed within the Orthodox sub-civilization. Whereas Russia, was mostly formed under conditions of intersection of the Orthodox and the Orda sub-civilizations. Resulting in civilization gap among the elites in Russia, off and on trying to re-adjust to European values, and the society, which carries the anti-western sentiment. Exactly this distinguishing feature, characteristic for «torn countries» according to the terminology of S. Huntington, causes the failure of democratic reforms, repeated return to authoritarian regimes, aggressive foreign policy and anti-Western rhetoric. On this basis, it has been determined, that Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine could be perceived as a sign of the civilizational conflict. ; У статті зроблено аналіз особливостей політичного розвитку країн Східної Європи. Завдання цього дослідження – визначення особливостей цивілізаційної периферії відносно цивілізаційного центру; виявлення проявів цивілізаційної периферії як зони міжцивілізаційної взаємодії в регіоні Східної Європи; визначення особливостей політичного розвитку країн регіону з позицій цивілізаційного підходу. Дослідження спирається на можливості цивілізаційного підходу щодо аналізу суспільно-політичних процесів, зокрема певних тенденцій у внутрішній і зовнішній політиці країн, зумовлених не стільки поточною політичною кон'юнктурою, скільки належністю до певного цивілізаційної системи. Проведене дослідження дало змогу з'ясувати геопросторову структуру європейської цивілізації, її центр і периферію, до якої віднесено регіон Східної Європи. Визначено найважливішу в межах зазначеної теми особливість цивілізаційної периферії як зони міжцивілізаційної взаємодії, що проявляється як конкуренція соціальних інститутів, політичних систем і цінностей, які зумовлені цивілізаційною належністю. Виходячи з порівняльної характеристики основних етапів та тенденцій політичного розвитку України й Росії, визначено, що Україна на різних етапах виявляла свою засадничу належність до європейської цивілізації, зокрема й певною мірою – до західної, через перманентні та різноманітні зв'язки, незважаючи на те, що сформувалась у межах православної субцивілізації. Натомість Росія переважно сформувалася в умовах перетину православної та ординської субцивілізацій. Наслідком цього в Росії стали наявні ознаки цивілізаційного розриву між елітами, що час від часу намагаються переорієнтуватися на європейські цінності, та суспільством, що є носієм антизахідних настроїв. Саме ця особливість, притаманна «розірваним країнам», за термінологією С.Гантінктона, зумовлює неуспішність демократичних реформ і періодичне повернення до авторитарних режимів, агресивної зовнішньої політики й антизахідної риторики. Виходячи з цього, визначено, що нинішній акт агресії Росії проти України можна розглядати як один із виявів цивілізаційного конфлікту.
У статті з'ясовано роль освіти, зокрема вищої, у суспільстві та економіці країни. Інвестиції в освіту визнано одним із чинників, які визначатимуть майбутнє суспільства та економіки країни. Розкрито моделі та форми (модальності) фінансування закладів вищої освіти у країнах Європи. Визначено моделі фінансування закладів вищої освіти з орієнтацією на пропозицію і на попит та відмінності між ними. Наведено механізми розподілу блок-грантів у країнах Європи. Проаналізовано послуги освіти, у тому числі вищої, за джерелами її оплати в Україні та деяких країнах Європи. ; The role of education, particularly of higher education, in a society and an economy of the country is defined. Education is a key priority for the European Union, investment in education is recognized as one of the factors that will determine the future of society and the economy of the country. People's ability to be entrepreneurial, to manage complex information, to think independently and creatively, using resources, that include digital ones, to be smart, balanced and to interact effectively are the most important characteristics today. In order to respond to these challenges, interactions between higher education systems and institutions, research and innovation are needed. It requires sustained, innovative and targeted funding. The models and forms (modalities) of funding of higher education institutions in Europe are revealed. Innovative models of financial resources allocation for higher education include: direct funding of higher education institution through line-item budgets, funding formula, performance contracts; indirect funding of education institutions through vouchers (targeted and universal), subsidies provided to students or their families as grants and scholarships, tax benefits, student loans. Public supply-side funding (Input- or performancebased) and private (demand-led) funding models are defined. The forms (modalities) of funding are identified. They are: block-grant, project-based, excellence funding, as well as other forms of direct funding, including targeted ones. Allocation mechanisms for block grants in Europe are provided. They include funding formula, performance contract with impact on funding, negotiation/historical determination. The main way of public funding of state higher education institutions is block grants based on the formula funding. Block grant funding based on negotiations is used in Austria, Germany and Spain. Education services (including higher education) by source of funding in Ukraine and some European countries are analyzed. Indicators of the education expenditures and the public expenditure on education shares in GDP in Ukraine compared to similar indicators of developed countries, indicate that it corresponds to or even exceeds its level. This requires further research to determine the priorities of public funding. In Ukraine, the volume of state expenditures on education, including higher education, in relative measure reached the optimal level, and it is possible to increase their quantitative absolute indicators only at the same time as the GDP of the country increases.
The article characterizes the changes in the field of state regulation of the costume in different epochs of European history, including the history of Ukraine. The concept of "vestment legislation", which regulates the issue of wearing a suit, is revealed. Some fragments of normative acts are cited, which confirm the fact of wide use of vestment legislation in the early epochs of the state history of European civilization. It is emphasized that the vestment legislation in the Greek and Roman periods played the role of sumptuous legislation, ie legislation against luxury, against demonstrative consumption. The dominant functions of vestment legislation in the feudal period and in the period of transition to bourgeois relations are highlighted. The author joins the opinion of a number of scholars who emphasize the caste nature of the legislation on costume in the era of feudalism. With the transition to bourgeois relations, this legislation plays the role of economic lever in stimulating the development of its own production of fabrics and clothing and the domestic market. It is emphasized that in the first half of the XVIII century Vestment legislation acquires more features of court etiquette, and from the second half of the XVIII century and to this day it minimizes its impact on civil society. Civil society is already creating fashion trends. This feature is preserved to this day. Attention is paid to some features of vestment legislation in the XX-XXI centuries. It is noted that during this period it could become discriminatory. Today, the vestment legislation reflects the concerns of European countries about certain terrorist acts and the introduction of quarantine restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ; Стаття характеризує зміни у сфері державного регулювання костюма у різні епохи європейської історії, у тому числі і історії України. Розкрито поняття "вестиментарного законодавства", яке регулює питання носіння костюма. Цитуються окремі фрагменти нормативних актів, що підтверджують факт широкого використання вестиментарного законодавства у ранні епохи державної історії європейської цивілізації. Підкреслено, що вестиментарне законодавство у грецький та римський періоди відігравало роль сумптуарного законодавства, тобто законодавства проти розкоші, проти демонстративного споживання. Виділено домінуючі функції вестиментарного законодавства у феодальний період та в період переходу до буржуазних відносин. Авторка приєднується до думки цілої низки вчених, які підкреслюють становий характер законодавства про костюм в епоху феодалізму. З переходом до буржуазних відносин вказане законодавство відіграє роль економічного важеля у стимулюванні розвитку власного виробництва тканин і одягу та внутрішнього ринку. Наголошено, що у першій половині ХУІІІ ст. вестиментарне законодавство набуває більше рис придворного етикету, а з другої половини ХУІІІ ст. і до нашого часу воно мінімізує свій вплив на громадянське суспільство. Громадянське суспільство вже саме створює модні тенденції. Вказана риса зберігається до нашого часу. Приділено увагу окремим особливостям вестиментарного законодавства у ХХ-ХХІ ст. Зазначено, що у вказаний період воно могло набувати дискримінаційного характеру. Сьогодні вестиментарне законодавство відображає занепокоєність країн Європи окремими терористичними проявами та впровадженням карантинних обмежень через пандемію COVID-19.
Agrarian transformations in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have both common features and national peculiarities. Studying the experience of market reforms in the agrarian sector of these countries is important for revealing the tendencies and patterns of transformation of agrarian relations, as it will allow to develop a well-balanced strategy and tactics of further market reforms in the agrarian sector of Ukraine and more fully take into account the negative factors that took place in the conditions of transformation processes in agriculture in countries with economies in transition. The subject of the study is the patterns and contradictions in the formation of a new system of economic relations in the agrarian sector of transition economies as a result of its market transformation. To clarify and disclose these questions, dialectical and systematic approaches, historical method, methods of analysis and synthesis, generalizations, and others were used. The purpose of the article is to find out the specifics and regularities of the transformation of agrarian relations in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, to determine the contradictions of the transformations carried out. Conducting agrarian reforms in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe can be divided into three periods: at the first stage - the strategic task was the structural reform of the agricultural sector, which was based on the privatization of land; at the second stage there was a radical change in the direction of internal agricultural policy in the direction of policy of maintaining prices and markets, export and import restrictions; At the third stage (and in some countries it has already taken place), preparations for accession to the EU took place. The purpose of agrarian reforms in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe was to transform the agrarian sector of their national economies into a market-oriented sector of the economy. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: privatization of ...
