CONCEPTUAL APPROACH TO CONDUCT MONITORING OF INTERREGIONAL COOPERATION

Enhanced actions of Ukraine on the way to becoming a European State requires profound reforms of the socio-economic and political direction, the forming a respective system of values in the society, reliable system of interaction between civil society institutions and public authorities, etc. A considerable amount of statistical information available in the country makes it possible to study changes in the regional economy. However, it should be noted that it does not allow fully evaluating the processes and phenomena occurring in interregional cooperation, namely: (i) analyzing the quantitative and qualitative characteristics, (ii) establishing relationship and interaction between the main components of such cooperation, (iii) makes it also impossible the determining the strength and direction of the influence of existing risks, (iv) exercising the forecasting accounting for the negative trends of development; the latter can be partly explained by objective circumstances relating to the difficulties in the official registration and recording the inter-regional processes. That is why there is a need to harmonize the tasks and interactions between subjects of the monitoring of interregional cooperation to provide information and create unified data bank and exchange network.
To solve these problems, some theoretical and methodological provisions of interregional cooperation are revealed in the article. The following issues were identified: task and objective, necessity, prerequisites, coherence of the study period, periodicity, forming the system of surveillance and data acquisition, selection and justification of indicators and reference values, implementation of control measures for the development of the program of monitoring the living conditions of population in the context of this type of cooperation. Program, methodology, stages of the monitoring implementation and assessment of the level of interregional cooperation, based on the applicable provisions of the legal framework of Ukraine, has been proposed.

Keywords:interregional cooperation, strategic development, program, action plan, monitoring, methodology
