The article studies theoretical and methodological bases of the strategic management of the development of administrative territories, considers the essence of strategic management and formulates the advantages of using it in management of administrative territory. Based on the analysis of the key provisions of the EU regional policy, the strategy of “smart specialization” is considered as the most common approach to territorial development. Using the experience of the countries of the European Union as a basis, a BPMN diagram, describing the conceptual bases for the formation of a competitive territory strategy, was built. Practical approaches to the formation of strategies for the development of administrative territories operating in Ukraine, regulatory acts, in particular, that had a direct impact on the formation of the existing model of strategic territorial management, were analyzed. The main requirements to the content of the strategic plan were considered and the list of key provisions and analytical methods (socio-economic analysis, comparative analysis, SWOT-analysis, PESTLE-analysis, sociological analysis) was formulated. Using the comparative legal analysis of the experience of the European Union as a basis, a number of features can be highlighted that must be taken into account in the process of forming the administrative territory development strategy.

2000 metais Europos Tarybos patvirtinta Lisabonos strategija iškėlė tikslą per dešimtmetį Europos Sąjungą (ES) paversti dinamiškiausia žinių pagrindu augančia ekonomika pasaulyje, kartu didinant įdarbinimo galimybes ir socialinę sanglaudą. Ypatingas dėmesys turi būti skiriamas socialiai nuskriaustųjų, įskaitant neįgaliuosius, užimtumo skirtumams. Lietuva kartu su kitomis ES valstybėmis įsipareigojo daugiau rūpintis socialiai pažeidžiamiausiais asmenimis, plėtoti lanksčias ir neįgaliemsžmonėms labiau prieinamas darbo organizavimo formas. Jungtinių Tautų Neįgaliųjų teisių konvencija įtvirtina naują požiūrį į negalią turinčius žmones, pabrėžia jų teisę užsidirbti pragyvenimui iš laisvai pasirinkto darbo, verslumo ir nuosavo verslo. Verslo ir darbo rinka nėra palanki tokiems žmonėms, tačiau jiems gali padėti teledarbas ir e. verslas. Viena iš svarbių prielaidų neįgaliųjų atskirčiai mažinti yra interneto informacinės aplinkos pritaikymas šiems žmonėms. Straipsnyje aptariama galimybėįtraukti neįgaliuosius į darbo rinką, taikant naujas informacines technologijas.Integration of disabled to labour market according conditions of information societyRimantas Petrauskas, Tatjana Bilevičienė SummaryLisbon Strategy stated new strategical aim for European Union – during decade to transform the European Union to most dynamic economic in the world, which asserting of increase and betterment of opportunities of employment, bigger social cohesion. While realising Lisbon Strategy it is concentrated to two main tasks – to encourage stronger permanent increase of economic and to create more and better place of work.

Numerous Central and Eastern European countries have restructured their regional level of public administration in the context of their accession to the European Union. Focusing on the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the article studies how the EU has influenced the institutionalization of regions and regional self-government. Regionalization may have been driven mainly by EU conditionality or, as a competing explanation suggests, more by domestic factors. The article argues that the EU altered the opportunity structure faced by domestic actors but that its role was more complementary than decisive. Czech and Slovak governments instrumentalized a perceived EU conditionality to promote their own political objectives. These findings demonstrate that a top-down concept of conditionality lends itself to fallacies and should be substantiated by reconstructing the domestic politics of Europeanization.

Poverty Indicators

The presented study comparatively analyzes indicators of the level of poverty and social inequality in Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, and the European Union (EU) as a criterion of national economic security.Aim. The study aims to examine existing approaches to determining the level of poverty and its dynamics and to consider suggestions for improving this methodology.Tasks. The authors examine and comparatively analyze approaches and methods for determining the level of poverty and its dynamics in the European Union and the CIS countries that are not members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).Methods. This study uses the methods of systems analysis, evolutionary-institutional theory, and historical approach.Results. Determining the level of poverty based on the number of citizens with incomes below the subsistence level can lead to misrepresentation of the actual state of this phenomenon. Calculation of poverty indicators based on consumer spending provides more accurate data on the level of poverty in a country where a significant share of the population’s income is generated by remittances from individuals living abroad, which are not reflected in official income statistics. A comparative analysis of poverty dynamics shows that in 2013 the level of poverty in all four examined countries decreased compared to 2006. Poverty dynamics in Russia and Belarus is more synchronized than in Ukraine and Moldova. A common methodology for calculating the level of poverty in all EU countries makes it possible to conduct a more thorough comparative analysis of poverty dynamics and to formulate more accurate recommendations in the field of anti-poverty policies. Based on the identified poverty dynamics in the EU and Russia, it is highly possible that strategic objectives on poverty reduction in the European Union and Russia will not be completed.Conclusions. To exclude the possibility of interested authorities influencing the dynamics of the poverty indicator by changing its threshold values depending on the current economic or political situation, it is necessary to switch to comprehensive assessment of this indicator in Russia. For comparative cross-country data analysis, it is advisable to consider the possibility of creating a Eurasian Statistics Service within the EAEU that would collect statistics and standardize statistical methods among the EAEU member states.
