Full text

The conducted research has shown that preferential economic zones with their special economic conditions in different territories of the country are not the opposite, but an integral part of the unity of the national economic space. Unity does not mean universal uniformity, sameness. The state purposefully creates preferential territorial zones with their own specific rules of management regulations, special organization of state and municipal management governance of the territory, special management governance techniques that nominally violate the unity of economic conditions in the country. However, preferential economic zones themselves, preferential regional and municipal taxation are being created and introduced to generally improve business conditions, to increase national competitiveness, to reduce inter-regional socio-economic differentiation and, consequently, to strengthen the unity of the national economic space. Preferential zones are designed to strengthen this unity.

Keywords: common economic space, preferential economic zones, anchor settlements, barriers to the movement of goods, services and financial resources, territorial isolation, fragmentation of economic space.
