摘要:Within the article, methodological tools for assessing the economic security of regions as a potential-forming space in terms of intellectualization are offered. It is substantiated that the intellectualization processes provides the basis for the potential-forming space and manifest itself in a number of important aspects from the standpoint of the economic analysis. As a methodological approach to the analysis of ensuring economic security of regional economic systems as a potential-forming space in terms of intellectualization, the authors propose to use the method of the taxonomic analysis. The proposed sequence of the taxonomic analysis of the economic security level of regional systems as a potential-forming space in terms of intellectualization is as follows: formation of an array of source data; identification of the type of the influence of selected analytical features; standardization of the obtained array of initial data; determination of the reference vector; calculation of the integrated indicator. The proposed methodological approach to the regions of Ukraine has been tested.
