Abstract

The article analyzes the changes which have taken place over 1995-2005 in the positioning of western regions of Ukraine with regard to their participation in the nation-wide foreign economic relations. The author investigates the influence of the new situation on these relations in the frontier regions after admission of the neighbouring countries to the EU, as well as the dynamics of foreign trade and investment cooperation in these regions in comparison with the development of relations between Ukraine and the EU as a whole. The author accentuates the need for increased attention to the development of external economic potential of these regions as a contact area between the economic complex of Ukraine and the integrated economic area of Europe.
