ДЕКОМПОЗИТНИЙ АНАЛІЗ КООПЕРАЦІЇ ЯК ФАКТОРА ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНИХ ГРОМАД

Abstract

The current economic situation poses new and more complex challenges to the country's economy. Local self-government plays an important role in strengthening statehood and its defense capabilities. The chosen strategy of European integration requires Ukraine to carry out reforms and gradually enter a highly competitive environment, and this is impossible without finding new tools to ensure sustainable local development. The development of cooperative relations might become an effective tool in becoming competitive territorial communities. The purpose of this study is to theoretically substantiate and build a conceptual model of cooperation in the territorial community, which involves the effective formation of cooperation at all subjective levels of the economy of the territorial community (local governments; villages, towns, and cities, businesses) and establishing a system interaction between them, which will intensify the processes of economic development of the territorial community by optimizing the potential internal resources. A comprehensive approach to the formation of the concept of cooperative relationships at different subject levels of the territorial community is proposed. It is represented as a two-level conceptual model of cooperation relations of the territorial community, which contains cooperation both at inter-municipal and intra-municipal levels. The scientific novelty of our approach is to take into account the impact on economic growth and sustainable development of the factor of cooperation not only in the form of inter-municipal and international cooperation but also cooperation at the enterprise level in the form of cooperatives. In addition, we have taken into account the processes of cooperation between rural and urban communities during the voluntary association of territorial communities.
