E. Mikeladze. Value Of Time And Related Issues In Georgia (p.,42-47)
Unfortunately, time management is not drawn the relevant attention to in Georgia. As a rule, there are half-loaded working processes. Moreover, it can be estimated as a chaotic state from the point of view of time managing, as well as the working processes are not oriented on the results. The same can be said about drawing up and accomplishing the plan of operational and strategic development, which do not meet the desirable rate. The decisions made without relevant discussions, and consequently, business meetings are not effective.
Everyone confesses that “time is money”. And money is one of the essential factors for existence. You have no opportunity to succeed if you are not able to manage time properly. A great number of people simply waste their time, which is impossible to stop or take back. This is why each person should create a modern time-managing machine individually.
According to the world-wide recognized scientist-economist I. Capleroy “God gifted mind to humans to perceive that mysterious order that governs the universe, and this perception should be the basis for humans to create their own environment.” According to Dibro “it’s useful to know that the desire of doing something encourages you and simplifies your job.”
Keywords: Time management, day schedule, goodness

H. Dyvnych. English Language Competence Of Civil Servants As A Mechanism Of European Integration Of Ukraine (p., 48-55)
The article researches the question of English language competence as a mechanism of European integration of Ukraine. In particular, such notions as “mechanism of state governance”, “mechanism of European integration” and “English language competence” are studied in their interrelation. The terms, stated above, are still in the process of definition and clarification, which makes it necessary to outline the existing approaches to their understanding both in national and foreign discourse, and highlight the important present aspects for our research.
 It is stated that English language competence of Ukrainian civil servants is a prerequisite for the ongoing Eurointegration of Ukraine. It influences the proficiency of civil servants, corresponding to personnel management mechanisms of state governance, and lead to intensification of intercultural communication not only at official meeting, but also due to personal contacts. The last contributes to a more fluent discussion of arising questions and information exchange. The efficiency of governmental work under the developing relationships with (and in future within) the EU has the importance that I hard to overestimate.
Therefore, conclusions have been made as to the place of English language competence among mechanisms of European integration of Ukraine. Separate suggestions regarding necessary appropriate changes in the sphere of civil servants preparation and work have been given.
Keywords: a mechanism, state governance, European integration, civil servants, English language competence, Ukraine, the European Union, improvement.

M. Slatvinskyi. L. Chvertko., Direct Foreign Investments And National Security: Problems Of Investment Policy (p., 70-79)
The article is aimed at studying the dependence between the level of national security and foreign direct investments inflows on the basis of which certain directions of the state investment policy in the context of strengthening national security are determined. The basis for the analysis was data on the level of national security of a number of countries with its different levels in order to compare with data on foreign direct investments inflows in these countries.
The authors determine the behavior of investors in countries involved in conflicts. It is found that the presence of threats to national security is reflected negatively on the level and trends of foreign direct investments. In turn, the behavior of investors cannot be considered unambiguously, since not all of them refuse to invest in conflicting countries.
The graphic analysis of investment and macroeconomic indicators that allowed asserting the presence of their coherent dynamics and formulating the hypothesis about the dependence between foreign direct investment inflows and the level of national security is carried out. The degree of this dependence and its orientation are determined using the Granger test.
The authors proposed main directions of the state investment policy aimed at ensuring national security on the basis of their calculations.

Keywords: investment policy, direct foreign investments, national security, investment risks, investors’ behavior, armed conflicts, economic instability.

Notwithstanding the fact that this sector has undergone hard disruption, and today the vine planting is decreased to 40-60 thousand ha, and the grape producing has gone down from 550-560 thousand tons to 150-220, In spite of this vine-growing and wine-making are still the leading fields of always been rendered as the business of the high priority.
Climate changes provide exceptional conditions for spreading of the grape main pests and diseases, reproduction and spreading of which significantly relate to the temperature and moisture conditions, especially in Adjara. We are familiar with the optimal conditions necessary for their reproduction and spreading increase or decrease of which might cause grape damage intensity significant change, and influence negatively the grape harvest and its quality. Due to all that it is necessary to define the correlative relation of the temperature and moisture change over spreading of these dangerous pests and diseases.
The climate change will impact the vine in the following direction: changes on grape phenology; harvest, quality, replacement of the grape spreading borders, style, assortment of species or vine-growing directions, the negative impact of the extreme weather shall be taken into account; avoidance high level and increased need for the irrigation water, etc. Adaptation might soften the negative effects caused by such changes.

SECTION: WORLD ECONOMY
P. Aroshidze., “One Belt - One Road” And Prospects Of Georgia's Transport Corridor (p., 102-110)
By the end of 2014, the central government of China declared the readiness to develop “alter of the Great Silk Road" – “One Belt - One Road". According to this project, China will economically be connected to Europe, the central and South-West Asia, Africa and Australia. The goal of this project is to export technology and "know-how" from China, high-speed railways, infrastructure development and service delivery to the whole world. Instead China will be able to import agricultural, health care and energy products, also other important commodities that are essential for China. The modern version of the “Great Silk Road” has the serious basis to fully change the global economic landscape. China from "World Factory" will become the main exporter of technologies and techniques, "World Trade Center" and the main hub of central electronic trade. "One Belt - One Road" will not only increase cargo turnover between China and the rest of the world, but also will make it possible to exchange experience between Europe and Asia. The project includes the following directions: 1. China-Central Asia-Russia-Europe (with the Baltic Sea); 2. China-Central Asia-West Asia-Persian Gulf-Mediterranean Sea; 3. China-North-East Asia-South Asia-India Ocean. The international economic corridors are planned to be created in these directions of: "China-Mongolia-Russia", "China-Central Asia-West Asia", "China-Indochina", "China-Pakistan", "Bangladesh-India-China" and "China-Mediterranean Sea".
 Implementation of this project is important for Georgia, because the economic corridor of China-Mediterranean Sea borders the territory of Georgia and the country's favorable geopolitical location can be used in this context. It should particularly be noted that in May 2017, the Free Trade Agreement was signed between Georgia and China, and China expressed readiness to establish an international bank in Georgia with a capital of 1 billion US dollars. Especially important is the prospect of the use of marine ports of Georgia. On the official map, which includes the project “One Belt - One Road” the Deep Sea Port of Anaklia is marked.
It can be said that the new project of China will give a new possibilities to the transit function of Georgia, which will facilitate the country's geopolitical strategy and should be the basis for political security and economic growth of the country.
