Abstract

This research examines the relation between the levels of national identity of Ukrainians in different regions of the country and the current state of their economic activity. The study explores whether the changes in economic activity of Ukrainian population are related to the changes in the level of its national identity. We used the results of the national poll, conducted by the sociological agency in Ukraine, together with data from State Statistics Service in Ukraine. The indicators of linguistic, civic and cultural identity were compared to regional human development indices, and indicators of socio-demographic status and economic activity of population in five aggregative regions in Ukraine. The results showed how differently people within the same country perceive social and economic standards of living and have various perceptions of the basis of their own national identity. This affects the processes of national identification and establishment of emphasis in regional development paths, as well as contributes to definition of the most relevant to a particular region levers of economic influence on the processes of national identification.

乌克兰人口的民族认同与经济活动:地区间的关系与差异

本研究考察了乌克兰不同地区的民族认同水平与其经济活动现状之间的关系。本研究探讨乌克兰人口经济活动的变化是否与其民族认同水平的变化有关。我们使用了乌克兰社会学机构进行的全国民意调查的结果，以及乌克兰国家统计局的数据。将语言、公民和文化特性指标与乌克兰五个综合地区的区域人类发展指数以及人口社会人口地位和经济活动指标进行了比较。研究结果表明，同一国家内的人们对社会和经济生活水平的看法是多么不同，对自己国家认同的基础也有不同的看法。这影响到国家认同进程和确定区域发展道路的重点，并有助于确定与特定区域最相关的经济杠杆对国家认同进程的影响。

期刊介绍： The mission of the Contemporary Economics is to publish advanced theoretical and empirical research in economics, finance, accounting and management with the noticeable contribution and impact to the development of those disciplines and preferably with practice relevancies. All entirety of methods is desirable, including a falsification of conventional understanding, theory building through inductive or qualitative research, first empirical testing of a theory, meta-analysis with theoretical implications, constructive replication that clarifies the boundaries or range of a theory for theoretical research as well as qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, meta-analytic, and combination for an empirical research. This clear priority for comprehensive manuscripts containing a methodology-based theoretical and empirical research with implications and recommendations for policymaking does not exclude manuscripts entirely focused on theory or methodology. Manuscripts that raise significant, actual topics of international relevance will be highly appreciated. The interdisciplinary approach including – besides economic, financial, accounting or managerial –also other aspects, is welcomed.
