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.

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.

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.
