Analysis of sustainable development: global and regional contexts Foresight Analysis of future economy of Ukraine for midterm (2015–2020) and longterm (2020–2030) time horizons

Foresight and construction of the strategies of socio-economic development of Ukraine on mid-term (up to 2020) and long-term (up to 2030) time horizons Done SWOT-analysis of 10 drivers (clusters) of Ukraine's economy and

its socio-economic segment, as an integrated system. Using the SWOT analysis techniques, the method of "two axes" and the

method of "branch" the 8 scenarios of socio-economic development of Ukraine for 2030 were created.

The influence of external and internal factors (events) to the level of social transformations in Ukraine through measurement differences (angle) between the vector of the government's actions and the vector of social activity of society was estimated.

Fifty-lined main actions of the government in the form of socio-economic development strategy of Ukraine were constructed.

These results may be used by decision makers at the state level, civil society institutions and international organizations for defining rational policy and constructive plans of social and economic development of Ukraine for mid-term and long-term time prospects.
