The historical way of evolution of Ukraine’s national economy has formed the contemporary structure of its economy. The analysis of the formation of a structural policy can help to reveal the peculiarities of its appearance and transformation for a subsequent improvement under modern conditions. As a structural policy, we mean a component of state’s economic policy including the scientifically substantiated methods and measures of the optimum reconstruction of the economic system and the attainment of a balanced efficient proportion of its mutually connected elements with the purpose to ensure a positive dynamics of their development. The main historical periods, in which the structure of Ukraine’s economy was formed, are considered: as a part of the economic systems of foreign countries; during the First World war and revolutionary events; and in the composition of the USSR and at the initial stage of its formation after winning the sovereignty. Thus, the chronology of the construction of historical determinants of a structural policy corresponds to the most essential manifestations of the functioning of Ukraine’s politico economic medium. We have found the main elements of a gradation of the national economy structure on the basis of the comparative analysis of the collection of factors, which are caused such processes. We have determined the main structural changes in the economic system, which were realized under the influence of exogenic and endogenic factors changing the functioning of the system of the national economy. The study of historical preconditions of the formation of a structural policy and factors determining a change in the national economy structure forms a retrospective idea of peculiarities of the essence of Ukraine’s economic system. It is revealed not only as the ratio of elements of a structure of the economy, but also as the process of change on the level of its adaptation to the world economy.
