But if you look at the country's foreign trade policy implemented by the government in practice we see that it is quite "laden" a different kind of trade restrictions - import taxes, quotas, licenses and other forms of non-tariff barriers.The foregoing the­sis main research aims is to determine why the theory goes beyond scientific research to practical reality? Did outdated trade policies on modern scientific theoretical analysis carried out by the economists?

Research methods: In order to achieve the work in process of development has been used to study dialectical materialism, historical, logical, analysis and synthesis methods. Practiced trade policy often tends to be theoretically grounded liberal trade policy in the direction of tightening trade restrictions in Georgia.when developing Georgian foreign trade policies, the government is not based on a reasonable theory "money equivalentive criteria" maximizing the chance of winning the next election criterion". If any of the trade policies of other followers reject this approach, then they need to lay their own preference system, explain the political decision-making, Why should one group's interests have more significant role than the others.

Keywords: Lobbyism, state employees, decisions about trade politics, "money equivalentive criteria", "maximizing the chance of winning the next election" criterion.

In the modern world economic trends are directed toward the democratization of property. Which deepened our interest in the diffusion of property rights, law enforcement and determining the direction of the limits of property rights.

PROSPECTIVE AREAS INTEGRATION COOPERATION OF CIS COUNTRIES – (p., 96-103)

The Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), created in 2015 by Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz­stan, Belarus and Armenia, claims to be the first successful post-Soviet initiative to overcome trade barriers and promote integration in a fragmented, under-developed region. Supporters argue that it could be a mechanism for dialogue with the European Union (EU) and other international partners. Critics portray a destabilizing project that increases Russia’s domination of the region and limits its other members’ relations with the West. On paper, the EEU is an economic, technocratic project that offers some benefits to members, particularly in easing cross-border trade and facilitating labour migration, but also poses economic risks by raising external tariffs and potentially orienting economies away from global markets. So far it has had little economic success, though access to Russia’s labour market has been an important motivator and, on balance, a positive outcome for struggling post-Soviet economies. The article analyzes the processes taking place within the framework of EEU and in its conclusions suggests that regardless of any difficulties of an economic or political nature, which stand in the way of applicant countries joining the customs union and/or the EEU, or which hinder negotiations about agreeing a common free trade area, the increase in Eurasian integration has more positive than negative results for the parties involved. The positive effects of expansion, which occur automatically for members of the EEU and/or customs union, are plain to see. These positive effects of expansion include primarily the consolidation of reciprocal trade relationships; the expansion of sales markets; the regulation of questions of transport and commerce stability; the legalization of a significant amount of work force migration, which previously lay in a grey area. The issue of a potential equalization across the entire region of Eurasia with the Chinese economic expansion could also be an important consequence of the Eurasian integration process.

Keywords: Integration processes; Regionalism;Biofuels;Interstate.

THE EMISSION AND CIRCULATION GENESIS OF GEORGIAN MONEY – (p., 108-113)

Georgia, as an independent country and plenipotentiary member of the world community of nations, appeared on the political map 18 years ago. But it doesn’t mean that its state history is limited to this 18 years. Georgia has a history of many centuries (Three thousand year anniversary of Georgian state was officially celebrated in 2000). So long is the history of the emission and circulation of Georgian money as well.

The first coin in Georgia was in VI century BC, large denomination of the so called “Colchis tetri” – Tetradrachma. It belongs to the number of rarest coins, whereas small denominations (Triobolis) are known thousands from the historical territories of Colchis, which mainly cover West Georgia.        

The emission of Georgian money lasted for centuries; however, circulated money of the territory of the country was not always original national currency. But as the foreign political pressure weakened, Georgian government immediately implemented its sovereign regalia – cut its own money.

At the beginning of XIX century, after Georgia was converted within Russian Empire, with the loss of independence Georgia ceased the emission of the so called “Sirma abazi” the last Georgian money, which was very popular in the whole Caucasus. This was followed by the emission of Russian-Georgian coins in Tbilisi mint.

In 1918-1921, there were produced Bonis of Transcaucasia Commissariat and Democratic Republic of Independent Georgia, and Georgian and Transcaucasia Federation Bonis as well, released after Soviet Russia annexed and occupied Georgia, in 1921-1924.

On April 9, 1991 Georgian independence was announced. From April 5, 1993 to October 2, 1995 circulated Coupons of Georgian National Bank.

On October 2, 1995, new Georgian National currency “Lari” was announced as a legal tax means on the whole territory of the country. It undergoes modification in order to be perfect: 1999, 2000, 2004, and 2016.

The emission of Georgian money for National economic development is unequivocally determinant.              

Keywords: emission, Drachma, Trioboli, Georgian-Sasanian coins, money functions, mint.

INVESTMENT POLICY AND RISK FACTORS MAKING INFLUNCE AT PROJECTS – (p., 114-118)

In the terms of market economy it appeared inevitable to renovate all the fields. This problem is mostly vivid in industrial sector which requires full transformation, creation of a new system and development.

In investment policy the special place has concept about mutual communication between incomes and risk level which implies direct proportional dependence between those two categories.

Investments provides continuation of product manufacturing, it supports carrying manufacturing, innovative and social projects, it plays role in increasing production volume and efficacy of further public production. In the terms of economic crisis investments are the most important possibility for transformation of socio and industrial potential and subordination of it under the market.

The classification of basic stages of investments in market economy terms gives the possibility to determine state regulation directions of this whole process.

It is worth mentioning that planning macro-economic parameters at recent and forecasting stages are based on two basic factors one of which is increasing foreign investments. This process should be based on appropriate changes of fiscal policy, structural and institutional reforms in order to provide long-term growth with the help of financial-banking system at the basis of temporary revival of economy. Investment environment in a certain countrythis is what is principally important in investment policy.

If it is possible to create investment project market in Georgia it will be interesting for investors in case if average incomes from these investments will exceed incomes of the other markets.

Keywords: investments, investment policy, investment environment, investment management, investment projects, investment risks, investment process.

The summary Relevance of the appeal to a problem of man's domination in economy is caused by decrease in its efficiency, need of search of new sources of development.

There are unresolved problems of the theory of the latent capital, determination of its value. Still economic science does not pay due attention to forming of a social capital in a family. Still economic science doesn't pay a due attention to forming of a social capital in a family. Costs for education of the new person, forming of bases of moral, social and economic conduct are theoretically not proved, are practically recognized the personal record of a family.

EVOLUTION OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION MECHANISM FOR THE YOUTH CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN UKRAINE (p., 133-140)

The article provides insight into the structure of the government regulation mechanism for the youth civic engagement. It has been established that legislative and regulatory legal acts, which form a constituent part of this mechanism, could be divided into three large sets. The first set consists of the legal acts regulating the external impact factors of the youth civic engagement.

It has been demonstrated that the second set of laws within the government regulation mechanism for the youth civic engagement regulates educational and awareness-raising aspects of establishing civic awareness in young people. The article introduces the chronology of the adoption of the key legal regulations in the area of the youth patriotic upbringing.

The component of the government regulation mechanism for the youth civic engagement, which accounts for creating opportunities to implement the youth initiative, consists of statutory provisions for the legal support of the youth participation in social and political life.

Furthermore, the article establishes the main policy documents that form an integral part of the government regulation mechanism for the youth civic engagement. The chronology of the adoption of the most essential legal regulations in the area of the youth patriotic upbringing has been reviewed.

It has been determined that regulatory acts on national-patriotic education of young people comprise the most extensive component of government regulation mechanism for the youth civic engagement. However, a significant number of regulatory legal acts on different aspects of establishment, development and implementation of the youth civic engagement contains contradictory provisions. This attests to the fact that a comprehensive approach to the solution of these issues has yet to be developed.

Keywords: youth civic engagement, state youth policy, government regulation mechanisms.

Social entrepreneurship as a factor of quality of life:AN empirical analysisin a global context (p., 141-150)

The paper reflects on the relationship and interdependence of social entrepreneurship, the general enabling environment for social entrepreneurship and quality of life in the world (across countries contexts) for 2009 and 2015 using k-means cluster analysis.It was found that differentiation of the countries analyzed by the level of social entrepreneurial activity (SEA) and its significant correlation with enabling environment for social entrepreneurship development and quality of life in general.Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Consortium has calculated the SEA rate for each participating country for 2009 and 2015.

Comparative analysis of SEA rate at the international level revealed new trends and to draw general conclusions of the importance and direction of social entrepreneurship development in each country that it forms the relevance of the paper.

The main objective of the paper is to comprehensive evaluate the developments of SEA rate at the global level and to identify the interdependencies their links to creating environments conducive to social entrepreneurship development and growth in the quality of life.

We have applied k-means cluster analysis in order to analyze the situation in SEA level development in the world for 2009 and 2015, and clustering of countries according to these indicators in 2015:

1) favourable environment for the activities of social enterprises (according to the international agency Thomson Reuters)

2) quality of life (social progress index, developed by the non-profit organization Social Progress Imperative).

The statistical values were standardized for each clustering to account for different value units.

This approach method enabled a conclusion that in the complex of countries for each clustering are clearly distinguished four clusters, but components of the clusters are differ in variety of researched characteristics.

The global distribution of the countries into four clusters by the k-means cluster analysis, based on the SEA rate for 2009 and 2015, allowed to indicate that the SEA indicator has grown 2,52 times in 2015 in comparison with 2009 is a testimony to social entrepreneurship ever increasing popularity.

According to the model of Hofstede's five cultural dimensions were properly analysed the characteristics of mentality and behavior norms of social entrepreneurs that were specific to the countries all over the world.We assert, drawing upon the cluster analysis undertaken as part of the paper, that growth of social entrepreneurship would be a significant advancement to improving the quality of life of the population and, consequently, socially oriented states has a special interest in assisting and the high level supporting for social entrepreneurship.

We demonstrated that favourable conditions for the extensive SEA development really correspond to level of social entrepreneurship development in the countries, cultural factor shaping the behavior of social entrepreneurs largely.

Keywords: social entrepreneurship (SE), social entrepreneurial activity (SEA), quality of life, favourable environment for the activities of social enterprises, cluster analysis, k-means method, cultural factor, Hofstede’s index, Social Progress index.
