ABSTRACT ▼
In the article has been determined that diversification issues in Ukraine are still of hardly limited elaboration and require the further studies with the accent on the aspects of old-industrial regions’ economy competitiveness recovery in global economic environment at the basis of “new\" industrial policy concept implementation. The goal of the article is to research the evolutional changes in the approaches to the diversification of economy in regional development studies and to specify at this basis the essence of diversification of old-industrial region’s economy. Has been proved that ensuring the effective diversification of old-industrial regions’ economy requires the comprehensive understanding of the essence of this process, built at the basis of the evolution of scientific knowledge and restructuing experience, accumulated by global practice. The evolution of approaches to the diversification of economy in the studies of regional development has been considered. Has been revealed, that the widespread peculiar feature of the studies of structural changes in old-industrial regions at post-soviet area, in poarticular, in Ukraine, is the prevailing accent at the sectoral structure improvement and export potential diversification for these regions. Has been lined out that for the foreign researchers of economy diversification problems characteristic is the concentration on: innovational directions of economic activity, revealing the potential of combination local traditions and global markets requirements, issues of correlation between performance of regional economy and its economic diversity. The experience of the structural adjustment of the economy on the ambiguity of diversification on the example of the old industrial regions of France is considered. The essence of old-industrial region’s economy diversification has been specified, the peculiarities of diversification process in these regions have been revealed.
