Abstract: The subject of the research is the neo-liberal model of development as a global ideology. The aim of this work is to determine the ideological principles of neoliberalism implemented in practice in the process of globalization. To achieve these objectives, the author of the article has considered a practical application of the ideas of neo-liberalism in the domestic politics of Greece, Chile and Argentina in the second half of the twentieth century. This approach allows to identify the basic elements of neoliberalism as a social practice at the country level, and to transfer the result to the global level, thereby defining the ideological components of neoliberal globalization. As a result of the study, it was found out that the practical application of the ideas of the neoliberal model in the domestic politics of Greece, Chile and Argentina allowed the supporters and theorists of neoliberalism to talk about its "viability" and "efficiency" without taking into account all the socio-economic consequences of such practices. Often when assessing the effectiveness of the neoliberal economy researchers took into account only undifferentiated GDP which allowed to hide the negative consequences of the practical application of that theory. In turn, the global transformation that occurred in the world at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries (the collapse of the bipolar system and the crisis of the "built socialism"), has allowed neo-liberalism to establish the leading role of the doctrine in the globalization process. Neoliberalism has become a global ideology, ideologeme, the main of which is the "free market" protected from any interference by the state. The idea of non-interference of the state has overcome the boundaries of economics and has spread to all spheres of social existence that allowed neoliberalism to be "the only effective" model of human existence. The consolidation of the status of neo-liberalism as a universal ideology has not led to the withdrawal of the global contradictions of the global development, but only contributed to their deepening because of the lack of variability in the choice of ways of human development.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the risks that exist on the labor market in the Arctic districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The author of the article examines such objective risk-contributing factors of the developing economy and social labor sphere of the Arctic Region as hazardous environmental conditions, vast territory, strong dependence of the population on the state policy aimed at industrial and economic development of the North, instability and disparity in the regional employment pattern, underdevelopment of the engineering, social and transport infrastructure. Special attention is paid to the analysis of unemployment risks, low wages, informal employment, labor migration and professional risks. The author also analyzes how the population perceives these risks on the labor market. The labor market risks are analyzed by the author based on the statistical data, results of the survey conducted in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) regarding the employment and unemployment issues, and results of the expert survey that involved leadership and labor protection specialists of the enterprises and organisations in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The main conclusion of the research is that current risks and constraints on the labor market in the Arctic districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) are only growing under the conditions of the financial crisis which requires serious governmental decisions to preserve and keep labor forces in the Far North, to create favorable conditions and increase the life quality of the local population. Based on the analysis of survey results, the author defines particular features of the perception of labor market risks by the population of the Arctic districts of Yakutia.

Abstract: The subject of the present research article is the theoretical questions of occurrence of transaction costs in the business environment and their impact on business efficiency. It is proved that the transaction costs are an important indicator of the effectiveness of the business environment. It is also proved that the volume of internal (incompany) transaction costs and transaction costs of the market interaction of entrepreneurs may vary due to the nature of the impact of non-market regulatory mechanisms (primarily government regulatory system). It is proposed to assess the level of transaction costs of businesses depending on the institutional structure of the business environment within the parameters of the administrative regulation of business. The authors put forward the research hypothesis that the real (actual) level of the transaction costs of the market interaction of a business entity is defined by the institutional configuration of the regional business environment. It is determined that the administrative regulatory regime in respect of a particular business entity and accordingly, the potential level of transaction costs, and the ability to manage them are determined by the parameters of the main contract with the state. The conclusion is that the key objective of management of regional economic development under modern conditions should be the design and construction of the institutional configuration of the regional business environment which, among other things, would help to reduce transaction costs in the process of implementation of business activity. The study is based on the methodological approach to the design of the system of interaction of imperious and enterprise structures on the basis of formation of the institutional matrix of the business environment. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors develop theoretical and methodological approaches to the design and construction of the institutional configuration of the regional business environment which, among other things, would help to reduce transaction costs in the process of implementation of business activities and to make rational management decisions that would contribute to the formation of favorable conditions for the enterpreneurial development.
