GEOPOLITICAL ASPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRANSBOUNDARY MULTI-RELIGIOUS ETHNOCONTACT REGION
Abstract
The peculiarities of the formation of the main geopolitical strategies for the development of the transboundary, ethnocontact region have been revealed and the detailed analysis of the development of geopolitical factors during the Independence period of Ukraine has been carried out. The Chernivtsi region is a demonstrative example of such a region, in which representatives of many nationalities live (Ukrainians, Romanians, Moldovans, Russians and others), and also the territories inhabited by Ukrainians, Romanians and Moldovans encounter here, which makes it possible to characterize the region as ethnocontact.
The results of the conducted study reveal a new vision of the problems of relations in the Chernivtsi region with representatives of the most numerous national groups of the population, including Ukrainians, Romanians, Moldovans and Russians, as well as prospects for further interethnic and interstate relations.
As a result of the application of various research methods, the typification of the administrative divisions of the Chernivtsi region based on the stability of the geopolitical factors of their development has been carried out, the chronology of the development of interstate relations between Ukraine and Romania, and the emergence of ideas of various types of separatism (territorial, religious, political, etc.) have been analyzed, as well as the recommendations to various state and local authorities concerning preservation and increase of such their sustainability have been developed. It was established that the main factors of the formation of the geopolitical situation in the region under study include ethnic, linguistic, religious, socio-economic, cultural, educational, historical-geographical and foreign-policy, and the territorial dependence of the political situation on these factors has been described.
They can be used in the process of working out of various regional development programs and in the strategizing for interstate relations between Romania and Moldova.
