Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to develop theoretical and methodological bases for a regional policy capable of shaping directions and tasks of reforms in the sphere of decentralization of power and strengthening of local self-government. Presently, the national economy is undergoing difficult transformations, but the process of positive changes is still hindered due to serious obstacles. As a result, in comparison with the advanced countries, we have a rather critical backlog, which is usually grounded by finding Ukraine at the bottom of world rankings. It is proved that regional development is not a new problem for the national economy, it is the situation and changes in the global space that are new. The strategy of innovation development is new as well, and all this leads to the need for significant developments in the theoretical and methodological bases for management of regional development. Changes in the methodological approach should take into account that regional development is provided by different parties, dominated by the state and local self-government bodies, which must agree upon the goals, interests, and interactions. The basis of methodological knowledge and tools is the orientation towards the object and its specifics; combination of theory with practice; the concept of benchmarking (promotion); consistent analysis of the situation, factors of influence and mechanisms for achieving the goals. It is substantiated that the theory of regional development, in addition to the assessment of the potential, is important to consider the human factor, which implies interests, needs, possibilities and nature of interactions. The study focuses on bringing together the efforts of all participants. Another component is the adoption and support of the innovation paradigm of development, which involves innovation solutions, innovation policy, innovative activities.

Keywords: methodology, region, development support, participants, mechanisms.
