Analyzing a variety of concepts, models and approaches, the article provides the deep investigation of regional development peculiarities in Ukraine. The use of econometric modelling proposes the special regional policy measures could be the effective tools for regional inequalities reduction, and the economic growth stimulation. Assessing the scientific and industrial potential regions the author focuses on diversification of industrial structure, priority innovation development, and economic growth in backward regions. The western region traditionally has agrarian production orientation. The competition is still weaker at regional level. Concentration has a negative and highly significant effect on labour productivity growth. In spite of human capital endowment in Ukraine, one could mention the low labour productivity level in basic sectors of economy. The essence of the regional integration is determined as the process in which countries organise regional unions, cooperate with each other and coordinate any forms of activities in order to stimulate economic prosperity, strengthen trade relation, develop infrastructure, and stimulate mutually profitable relations among each other. The regional policy determination considers the regional disparities elimination and suggestion of the scenarios for smoothing regional inequalities. The main directions of regional development could be determined in accordance with regions’ belongings to the special cluster group.
