Analysis of the Main Threats to the System of Sustainable Development and Planning of the Region in the Context of Ensuring the Economic Security of the State
The main purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the main threats to the system of sustainable development and planning of the region in terms of ensuring the economic security of the state. To do this, we applied a methodology that allows us to establish the dependence and connection between threats and to determine the level structure of measures to counter the negative impact of these threats on a particular region. The relevance of the study is given by the fact that the regions of Europe today are also suffering from military actions on the territory of Ukraine. As a result of the study, a multi-level matrix of the hierarchy of the negative impact of threats on the system of sustainable development and planning of the region was formed in the context of ensuring the economic security of the state. The use of this matrix is a relatively new and more effective way to determine the measure of the impact of certain phenomena. The study has limitations and they concern the selection of only one region therefore further research needs to expand and apply our matrix to more regions.
Environmental and economic security in the conditions of the Ukraine`s economyIgor Britchenko
The article examines the peculiarities and modern specifics of the formation of ecological and economic security in Ukraine in the conditions of digitalization. It was determined that the lack of dynamic growth, the violation of the optimal balance and balance of the ecological and economic system are caused by the depletion of raw resources, a decrease in the overall potential of the environment, and the irrational use of natural resources. It has been proven that in the conditions of digitalization, a new challenge for all enterprises is to ensure the ecological and economic efficiency of their activities, which combines the principles of transparency and openness in their functioning. It has been proven that the strategy of environmentally-oriented economic development should be aimed at solving environmental problems and preserving biological diversity.
Devising a procedure of state financial protectionism in the agricultural ind...Igor Britchenko
This paper considers the issue of state financial protectionism of the agricultural industry in the context of regionalization. A comprehensive methodology of state financial protectionism of the agricultural industry in the context of regionalization has been proposed, taking into consideration IPR and the value of the agricultural industry in a region. Based on statistical data on the indicators of investment attractiveness of the region (IAR) and the value of the agricultural industry in a region, regions for financing were determined. The problem of determining the fate of state financial protectionism for the agricultural industry in the context of regionalization has been stated and solved. The proposed methodology was tested by an experimental method.
It is proposed that the state financial protectionism in the context of regionalization should include budget (investment) financial injections based on the investment attractiveness of a region and the value of the agricultural industry in the region, which are directed to the agricultural sector, in order to support it.
The calculation results show that the distribution of financial resources with the available amount of public finances S=1 allocated for support is carried out proportionally. The comprehensive approach has made it possible to identify four regions for financing, and those are the regions that have the greatest value in the agricultural industry.
Practical value is for management bodies (local, territorial, etc.) in the distribution of funds according to the vector of protectionism of the agricultural industry. The theoretical value is for researchers dealing with financial support, state protectionism, and public administration.

The definition of nanoeconomics can relate to
different levels and areas of economic life. First of all,
this is the nanolevel of the economic system. As a human
economy, nanoeconomics provides for the allocation of
an individual factor within the framework of a socioeconomic
phenomenon. The nanoeconomic aspect is
central to the definition of inclusion. So, the inclusion of
a person, as the main subject of nanoeconomics, to the
formation and stabilization of economic systems is the
initial one in the integration of an individual in relation
to production processes and economic development. A
person is involved in academic and social life by making
decisions about their own business and integrating
it into the sectoral and national economic space. It
is proved that its indicators are the conditions for
clustering the economic system. The study carried out
a cluster analysis of the innovation system in a country
with an economy in transition.
In addition, the study outlined that inclusive
phenomena in the economy are close to integration
and are the opposite of segregation and isolation. It is
noted that different institutions of integration can be
used to form objective conditions for the development of
babyeconomics. Public decisions of inclusion involve the
use of Arrow's impossibility theorem.
The research results can be used:
– the individualistic functions of inclusion should be
used in the formation of the babyeconomics, the human
economy and the economy of nanotechnology;
– states of inclusion must be created at all levels of
the economic system;
– a person and wealth are an individualistic aspect
of an inclusive economy, because national wealth
consists of individual wealth.
Nanoeconomics is just beginning to be included in
the systemic processes of inclusive economic phenomena,
especially in countries with economies in transition.

Critical Approaches to the Concept of Sustainable DevelopmentAI Publications
It has been observed that while living in harmony with nature on earth until the industrial revolution, with the industrial production and consumption society formed after the industrial revolution, humanity has started to dominate nature more and the damage caused to nature has increased. Economic growth, contrary to expectations, increasing inequality in the distribution of income, the impoverishment of the broad masses of the natural environment in the emergence of problems such as destruction of natural resources, growth and development of the concept of sustainable development has revealed the new concept. Sustainable development suggests that both economic development can continue and the ecological system can be protected; the contradiction between the environment and development will disappear. The concept of sustainable development has been considered to be able to solve many country problems since its first appearance, and has been applied to many fields such as economics, politics, the environment and social culture. In fact, there are many aspects of the concept of sustainable development that are open to criticism. The aim of this study is to address the criticisms brought to the concept with a collective perspective. For this purpose, the criticisms brought to the concept of sustainable development based on the previous studies conducted on the subject were examined. It is thought that the study will contribute to the literature by eliminating the lack of a critical perspective on sustainable development in this way.

Political (In)Stability and Public Policy Transplantation: a Macedonian Casejpsjournal1
In recent years, a set of new post-empiricist advances to public policy, drawing on discursive analyses and
participatory, deliberative practices, have come to challenge the leading technocratic, empiricist models in
policy analyses. According to Pessali, the transplantation of public policies is an influential instrument in
the hands of economic development – important as it may be, transplantation may not be inevitably
successful, therefore not always looked for. There are good economic reasons to consider the practice of
grafting in public policy transplants, i.e., consideration for the specific cities of existing local institutions
and how they may interact with a set of predominant policy requirements and guidelines. By taking into
account Pessali's alternative method that institutionalizes some sort of cooperation between policy makers
and stakeholders, in contrast with some other common variants of the policy transplantation method, we
discuss an architecture for public policy inputs in a country context, which may help to avoid some of the
underlying risks of standard transplantation architectures. The article concludes that the “transplantation
metaphor” can be a powerful tool in organizing our thoughts and framing our decisions, which can lead to
better use of it for the purposes of public policy design in societies only in cases of political stability.
This document summarizes a research project on analyzing the social and economic impacts of climate change in rural Hungary. The objectives are to develop a risk assessment method to evaluate long-term changes in economic and social factors under different climate change scenarios. A literature review establishes that vulnerability to climate change has significant social and economic dimensions beyond direct impacts on agriculture and forestry. Key factors influencing adaptation are identified as access to information, economic resources, institutional capacity, technology, politics, and social trends. The research aims to account for these socioeconomic factors in its risk assessment methodology and scenario analysis of climate change impacts in rural communities and economies.

Preserving the Environment through Knowledge Managementinventionjournals
1. The document discusses the importance of knowledge management in preserving the environment through optimal decision-making. It argues that decisions can negatively impact the environment if their environmental consequences are not considered.
2. Knowledge management provides decision-makers with both explicit knowledge like data and implicit knowledge from experienced individuals. This helps identify environmental consequences and reform decisions to prevent irreparable environmental damage.
3. The document presents a model where explicit knowledge is analyzed in light of implicit knowledge, potentially discovering new solutions that meet organizational goals while protecting the environment.
Preserving the Environment through Knowledge Managementinventionjournals
The environment quality is of high importance in all countries. One of the important achievements of rationalizing bioenvironmental issues is identifying works with harmful consequences in the future. Many thinkers believe that if man could learn constructive knowledge in steady development and attempt to practice them, he has made the biggest discovery and invention in the world. This is impossible except through appropriate knowledge management. Since each measure is concerned with a social or economic purpose, it inevitably affects the environment. Therefore, deciding regarding such issues requires having appropriate information and knowledge and timely transference in order to prevent the incidence of irreparable damage to the environment. Such damage and its consequences can not only affect the intended society, but also harm other societies, which can be irreparable. Here, the importance and role of knowledge management in making such decisions are manifested. In this paper, the importance of knowledge management in preserving the environment is analyzed while presenting a model, the point less considered in the previous studies, but can be of highest importance
Sustainable Development Goals and Inclusive DevelopmentRuben Zondervan
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/sustainable-development-goals-and-inclusive-development
Key messages of Policy Brief #5:
1. Social goals tend to be marginalized in the implementation of sustainable development while economic growth is prioritized often also at the cost of ecological goals. Many of these development issues are essentially distributional issues. These distributional challenges will be exacerbated by the need to limit the environmental utilization space (ecospace) on Earth and the consequent challenge of how this space will be equitably and inclusively shared among countries and people. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets developed by the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (OWG) against criteria for inclusive development.
2. Inclusive development principles, tools, and evaluation criteria for the proposed SDGs fall into three clusters: inclusive development per sé; inclusive development in the context of the Anthropocene; and inclusive development from a relational perspective.
3. Regarding inclusive development per sé, the SDGs currently proposed do not provide guidance to establish targets that would build capacity for the most marginalized populations so that they can learn about and access SDG-related opportunities. In the context of the Anthropocene, the SDGs neither adequately address ecosystemic limits nor the allocation of responsibilities, rights, and risks among countries and peoples in relation to fixed and diminishing resources. From a relational perspective, the wording of the OWG document lacks balance; it focuses more on effects than root causes. For example, while the document focuses on enhancing the rights of women and girls and ending gender disparities, it does not have a corresponding discussion on the policy instruments needed for dealing with the relations between men and women with respect to these rights.
4. These governance issues can be addressed by developing context-relevant, appropriate targets and indicators, but this will require exceptional steering and leadership to ensure their successful implementation.
The workshop was organized by the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), the Earth System Governance Project and the POST2015 project (hosted by Tokyo Institute of Technology and sponsored by Ministry of Environment, Japan). It brought together international scholars and practitioners with expertise on global environmental governance to discuss some key questions relating to the governance of, and governance for, the post-2015 development agenda. The scope of the workshop was the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with particular focus on how integrated SDGs (of the development and environmental agenda) could be governed in the post-2015 era.
Gravity of regional partnership emerges as substantive policy and diplomacy tools as the international community seeks to overcome today’s complex crisis situation with greater shared purpose across the society and the economy. Call for collective action has never resonated stronger from perspective of policy and governance highground. But no cause-driven, forward-looking outcome can be achieved without development as strategic lynchpin across the economy and the society especially in view of broad-based whole-of-ecosystem impact addressable in joint partnership dialogs at causes and causalities of the required transition. Indeed, leadership precedent from ASEAN only substantiates this observation in dialog of poverty action and financial inclusion, with implications of informed policy decision and structural impact at COVID-19 crisis but also sustainable outlook and data-driven transformation at large. Rational choice on the premise of sustainability partnership is an imperative but such also argues for the case of purpose-driven data strategy, representative to the collective ambition in shared forward-looking outlook of the global community while leaving no one behind.
This document summarizes a World Bank report on the political economy of policy reform. It discusses how understanding power dynamics and stakeholder interests is important for effective engagement in policy dialogue. It presents a framework that combines diagnostic analysis of the reform context, arena, and process with a typology of actions. The framework aims to help development practitioners navigate complex political economies and translate analytical findings into more sustainable reform processes. The report is based on case studies of World Bank involvement in agricultural liberalization and water/sanitation public-private partnerships in various countries. It seeks to capture lessons learned about navigating political economic risks and facilitating reform with stakeholder commitment.
Analysis of the Local Potential of Kweel Village for Strengthening the Commun...AJHSSR Journal
Kampung Kweel has abundant natural potential from agriculture, plantations, and fisheries that could be optimized through a village-owned enterprise (BUMK) to strengthen the local economy. The village's main commodities - bananas, rambutan, coconut, tilapia fish, and snapper - show promise but currently lack adequate transportation, marketing, and processing. Villagers overwhelmingly support establishing a BUMK to address these issues, improve livelihoods, and independently manage village finances. Existing internet access, a village hall, and electricity provide initial facilities to support launching a BUMK in Kampung Kweel.

The article considers the features of ensuring the economic security of
enterprises in the conditions of intensive introduction of information technologies in
their activities in the process of forming the digital economy. It is determined that
digitalization creates important advantages for enterprises in terms of implementing a
long-term strategy for their development, strengthening economic security, and
achieving significant competitive advantages in doing business. It is studied that the
system of economic security of the enterprise is an organized set of elements of the
management infrastructure of the enterprise, which are focused on ensuring stable and
effective development of the business entity, neutralization, and elimination of internal
and external threats.
The development and operation of regional systems cannot be carried out solely on
the basis of market self-regulation. The policy of state non-interference leads to the
growth of various kinds of contradictions and asymmetries that can destroy the integrity
of the national economy and regional systems, so taking care of the balanced
development of the national economy and regional economic systems is an
indispensable function of the state, a guarantee of its development and selfpreservation.
This is reflected in the existence of program-target methods of managing
the socio-economic development of regions.
This document summarizes the findings of a 2005 University of Pennsylvania studio that studied the Northeast MegaRegion stretching from Boston to Washington D.C. It identifies the region's strengths as its world-class cities, natural amenities, infrastructure, and dominant industries. However, it also notes challenges like sprawl, congestion, and economic/social disparities. The report proposes seven strategies to address these, including preserving open space, redirecting growth to urban centers, modernizing rail, and coordinating mega-regional transportation planning, to strengthen the region's competitiveness in a sustainable manner.

Research of the intelligent resource security of the nanoeconomic development...Igor Britchenko
The resources and resource potential of the innovative component of nanoeconomics are analyzed. The factors of production – classical types of resources such as land, labor, capital and technology – are described. Ways of influencing the security resources of nanoeconomics within the innovation paradigm are evaluated. The purpose of the study is to identify the factor of nanoeconomics in the formation of resource security potential in the innovation paradigm. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: to characterize the importance of the land resource as a factor in the potential of economic nanosystems; to highlight the importance of capital as a factor of nanoproduction and an indicator of the innovation paradigm; to determine the labor resource in the development of innovative nanosystems; to analyze the intellectual potential of nanoeconomic development of the innovation paradigm; to identify clusters of innovative nanopotential in the regions of countries with transition economies. Each resource is examined separately with the first analysis of a resource security assessment such as land. The other resource under consideration is labor. Demographic factors become decisive in describing the development of labor resources. The capital factor allows the formation of independent economic systems, when the state budget affects the possibility of developing science, education and health care. A number of methods were applied during the study: methods of induction and deduction (to assess the importance of the innovation paradigm for the development of nanoeconomics); system analysis and structural approach (to determine the aggregate state of production factors); method of comparing the quality of production factors in market economies and in developed countries; an observation method (for assessing the state of resources in different countries); method of cluster analysis (to determine the existence of innovation-territorial regions in countries with economies in transition). The analysis is carried out to identify the conditions of the impact of production factors on the innovative paradigm of nanoeconomics. It reveals theoretical approaches to the formation of nanoeconomics and its active development. As a result of the study of intellectual and resource potential of security, a cluster analysis was carried out to assess the conditions for the formation of innovation-territorial regions. This study allows to understand the role of production security factors in the formation of the innovation paradigm and the efficiency of the development of nanoeconomics. The way of providing the basis for the development of nanoeconomics in the form of efficient use of production factors is considered as a perspective.
REDUCING CORRUPTION RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHALLENGES_En.pdfAzat Irmanov
Abstract
Environmental cataclysms, their increasing frequency and amplitude, as well as their consequences, create huge challenges for the population of all countries in the world without exception. Governments take measures to create systems of early warning, prevention, and prompt response to the challenges of natural disasters by developing and implementing targeted state programs.
However, imperfect public administration mechanisms and, primarily, corruption, pose additional risks of inefficiency, the impact of which can nullify and discredit the implementation of state programs to combat environmental disasters. Speed of decision-making and implementation takes higher priority over standards of transparency, accountability, equal access to information, responsibility, expediency, and cost-effectiveness. The protocols and procedures of operation of public organizations and officials should be developed not only taking into account anti-corruption standards, but also with high moral and ethical standards, because in crisis conditions the quality of public servants’ performance depends more on their commitment to moral and ethical ideals. Simplify the understanding of the high importance of moral and ethical characteristics of a public servant can be achieved through the use of cross-disciplinary models in relation to a particular position of an official.
This book analyzes declining long-term growth prospects based on the most comprehensive database of potential growth estimates available. It argues that a prolonged period of weaker growth is underway due to most growth drivers weakening in recent decades. This will have serious implications for emerging market and developing economies. The book calls for bold national and global policy actions to lift growth prospects. It is essential reading for policymakers, economists, and others concerned about the future global economy.
Financial and Economic Tools of Project Management in Public SectorIgor Britchenko
The article examines the introduction of project management as a result of the implementation of administrative reforms in modern states based on the management paradigm of New Public Management and New Public Governance. Based on both experts’ opinions and a number of cases from different counties, it is shown that the development of such elements of new public management as focus on achieving results, monitoring of quantitative and qualitative performance indicators, budget savings, creative organizational culture, became possible thanks to a set of economic and strategic tools that characterize project management, especially PMBoK. The expediency of a large-scale transition to professional management of public projects through the use of the generally recognized PMBoK standard, as well as the “living” Agile project methodology, is substantiated.
Financial Capacity of Insurance Companies as a Factor of Stable Development o...Igor Britchenko
The relevance of the article is based on an in-depth study of the financial potential of insurers and its impact on the insurance market, which provides valuable information for the stakeholders of the insurance industry. Therefore, this study aims to determine approaches to revealing the essence of the financial capacity of insurers, based on the scientific tools of financial science. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the analysis of the dynamics of liabilities (raised and borrowed funds) and equity capital of insurers and the relationship between them, which enables a comprehensive look at the impact of these indicators on the development of insurance market and internal and external factors that have both an objective and subjective impact on the financial capacity of insurers and the insurance market. The article defines the stages and methodology of assessing the financial condition of insurers. In particular, the normative method, the comparative method, the static method, the formal-logical method, the economic-mathematical method, the method of analysis and synthesis became the leading research methods. These assessment methods are crucial for the timely determination of the current state of financial capacity and its potential. Using a multivariate correlation-regression model, the authors demonstrate the importance of various components of financial capacity. The presented results will be useful to various stakeholders in the insurance industry as they provide a deeper understanding of their financial strength, including the dynamics of liabilities, equity and leveraged funds. First of all, it was established that financial resources are the basis of financial capacity. Secondly, the definition of the insurance company's financial resources as a source and component of the company's functioning is formulated. Thirdly, it is shown that the insurer's financial capacity is logically dependent on its investment capacity, which is determined by the amount of financial resources. It was also determined that financial capacity is a dynamic quantity and is manifested only in the process of its use and ideally should be accompanied by its growth. Among them, it was proved that the main components that significantly affect the formation of the financial potential of insurers and the growth of the insurance market of Ukraine are insurance reserves and authorized capital. These conclusions can easily become the basis for the formation of further state insurance policy, which will be followed through legislative reforms, increased competition in the insurance market and will result in an increase in the level of trust among the population.

successful, therefore not always looked for. There are good economic reasons to consider the practice of
grafting in public policy transplants, i.e., consideration for the specific cities of existing local institutions
and how they may interact with a set of predominant policy requirements and guidelines. By taking into
account Pessali's alternative method that institutionalizes some sort of cooperation between policy makers
and stakeholders, in contrast with some other common variants of the policy transplantation method, we
discuss an architecture for public policy inputs in a country context, which may help to avoid some of the
underlying risks of standard transplantation architectures. The article concludes that the “transplantation
metaphor” can be a powerful tool in organizing our thoughts and framing our decisions, which can lead to
better use of it for the purposes of public policy design in societies only in cases of political stability.
This document summarizes a research project on analyzing the social and economic impacts of climate change in rural Hungary. The objectives are to develop a risk assessment method to evaluate long-term changes in economic and social factors under different climate change scenarios. A literature review establishes that vulnerability to climate change has significant social and economic dimensions beyond direct impacts on agriculture and forestry. Key factors influencing adaptation are identified as access to information, economic resources, institutional capacity, technology, politics, and social trends. The research aims to account for these socioeconomic factors in its risk assessment methodology and scenario analysis of climate change impacts in rural communities and economies.

This document provides an introduction to the concept of an urban nexus. It discusses how cities are major centers of population and economic activity but also significant contributors to resource consumption and environmental impacts. The document then explores the concept of a water-energy-food nexus and how this relates to urban areas. It reviews different definitions and perspectives on an urban nexus. The overall aim is to develop a conceptual framework for understanding the urban nexus and how it can align with global agendas around sustainable development and urban issues.
Preserving the Environment through Knowledge Managementinventionjournals
1. The document discusses the importance of knowledge management in preserving the environment through optimal decision-making. It argues that decisions can negatively impact the environment if their environmental consequences are not considered.
2. Knowledge management provides decision-makers with both explicit knowledge like data and implicit knowledge from experienced individuals. This helps identify environmental consequences and reform decisions to prevent irreparable environmental damage.
3. The document presents a model where explicit knowledge is analyzed in light of implicit knowledge, potentially discovering new solutions that meet organizational goals while protecting the environment.
Preserving the Environment through Knowledge Managementinventionjournals
The environment quality is of high importance in all countries. One of the important achievements of rationalizing bioenvironmental issues is identifying works with harmful consequences in the future. Many thinkers believe that if man could learn constructive knowledge in steady development and attempt to practice them, he has made the biggest discovery and invention in the world. This is impossible except through appropriate knowledge management. Since each measure is concerned with a social or economic purpose, it inevitably affects the environment. Therefore, deciding regarding such issues requires having appropriate information and knowledge and timely transference in order to prevent the incidence of irreparable damage to the environment. Such damage and its consequences can not only affect the intended society, but also harm other societies, which can be irreparable. Here, the importance and role of knowledge management in making such decisions are manifested. In this paper, the importance of knowledge management in preserving the environment is analyzed while presenting a model, the point less considered in the previous studies, but can be of highest importance
Sustainable Development Goals and Inclusive DevelopmentRuben Zondervan
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/sustainable-development-goals-and-inclusive-development
Key messages of Policy Brief #5:
1. Social goals tend to be marginalized in the implementation of sustainable development while economic growth is prioritized often also at the cost of ecological goals. Many of these development issues are essentially distributional issues. These distributional challenges will be exacerbated by the need to limit the environmental utilization space (ecospace) on Earth and the consequent challenge of how this space will be equitably and inclusively shared among countries and people. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets developed by the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (OWG) against criteria for inclusive development.
2. Inclusive development principles, tools, and evaluation criteria for the proposed SDGs fall into three clusters: inclusive development per sé; inclusive development in the context of the Anthropocene; and inclusive development from a relational perspective.
3. Regarding inclusive development per sé, the SDGs currently proposed do not provide guidance to establish targets that would build capacity for the most marginalized populations so that they can learn about and access SDG-related opportunities. In the context of the Anthropocene, the SDGs neither adequately address ecosystemic limits nor the allocation of responsibilities, rights, and risks among countries and peoples in relation to fixed and diminishing resources. From a relational perspective, the wording of the OWG document lacks balance; it focuses more on effects than root causes. For example, while the document focuses on enhancing the rights of women and girls and ending gender disparities, it does not have a corresponding discussion on the policy instruments needed for dealing with the relations between men and women with respect to these rights.
4. These governance issues can be addressed by developing context-relevant, appropriate targets and indicators, but this will require exceptional steering and leadership to ensure their successful implementation.
The workshop was organized by the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), the Earth System Governance Project and the POST2015 project (hosted by Tokyo Institute of Technology and sponsored by Ministry of Environment, Japan). It brought together international scholars and practitioners with expertise on global environmental governance to discuss some key questions relating to the governance of, and governance for, the post-2015 development agenda. The scope of the workshop was the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with particular focus on how integrated SDGs (of the development and environmental agenda) could be governed in the post-2015 era.
Gravity of regional partnership emerges as substantive policy and diplomacy tools as the international community seeks to overcome today’s complex crisis situation with greater shared purpose across the society and the economy. Call for collective action has never resonated stronger from perspective of policy and governance highground. But no cause-driven, forward-looking outcome can be achieved without development as strategic lynchpin across the economy and the society especially in view of broad-based whole-of-ecosystem impact addressable in joint partnership dialogs at causes and causalities of the required transition. Indeed, leadership precedent from ASEAN only substantiates this observation in dialog of poverty action and financial inclusion, with implications of informed policy decision and structural impact at COVID-19 crisis but also sustainable outlook and data-driven transformation at large. Rational choice on the premise of sustainability partnership is an imperative but such also argues for the case of purpose-driven data strategy, representative to the collective ambition in shared forward-looking outlook of the global community while leaving no one behind.
This document summarizes a World Bank report on the political economy of policy reform. It discusses how understanding power dynamics and stakeholder interests is important for effective engagement in policy dialogue. It presents a framework that combines diagnostic analysis of the reform context, arena, and process with a typology of actions. The framework aims to help development practitioners navigate complex political economies and translate analytical findings into more sustainable reform processes. The report is based on case studies of World Bank involvement in agricultural liberalization and water/sanitation public-private partnerships in various countries. It seeks to capture lessons learned about navigating political economic risks and facilitating reform with stakeholder commitment.
Analysis of the Local Potential of Kweel Village for Strengthening the Commun...AJHSSR Journal
Kampung Kweel has abundant natural potential from agriculture, plantations, and fisheries that could be optimized through a village-owned enterprise (BUMK) to strengthen the local economy. The village's main commodities - bananas, rambutan, coconut, tilapia fish, and snapper - show promise but currently lack adequate transportation, marketing, and processing. Villagers overwhelmingly support establishing a BUMK to address these issues, improve livelihoods, and independently manage village finances. Existing internet access, a village hall, and electricity provide initial facilities to support launching a BUMK in Kampung Kweel.
Modern information and communication technologies in the digital economy in t...Igor Britchenko
The article considers the features of ensuring the economic security of
enterprises in the conditions of intensive introduction of information technologies in
their activities in the process of forming the digital economy. It is determined that
digitalization creates important advantages for enterprises in terms of implementing a
long-term strategy for their development, strengthening economic security, and
achieving significant competitive advantages in doing business. It is studied that the
system of economic security of the enterprise is an organized set of elements of the
management infrastructure of the enterprise, which are focused on ensuring stable and
effective development of the business entity, neutralization, and elimination of internal
and external threats.
The development and operation of regional systems cannot be carried out solely on
the basis of market self-regulation. The policy of state non-interference leads to the
growth of various kinds of contradictions and asymmetries that can destroy the integrity
of the national economy and regional systems, so taking care of the balanced
development of the national economy and regional economic systems is an
indispensable function of the state, a guarantee of its development and selfpreservation.
This is reflected in the existence of program-target methods of managing
the socio-economic development of regions.
This document summarizes the findings of a 2005 University of Pennsylvania studio that studied the Northeast MegaRegion stretching from Boston to Washington D.C. It identifies the region's strengths as its world-class cities, natural amenities, infrastructure, and dominant industries. However, it also notes challenges like sprawl, congestion, and economic/social disparities. The report proposes seven strategies to address these, including preserving open space, redirecting growth to urban centers, modernizing rail, and coordinating mega-regional transportation planning, to strengthen the region's competitiveness in a sustainable manner.

Research of the intelligent resource security of the nanoeconomic development...Igor Britchenko
The resources and resource potential of the innovative component of nanoeconomics are analyzed. The factors of production – classical types of resources such as land, labor, capital and technology – are described. Ways of influencing the security resources of nanoeconomics within the innovation paradigm are evaluated. The purpose of the study is to identify the factor of nanoeconomics in the formation of resource security potential in the innovation paradigm. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: to characterize the importance of the land resource as a factor in the potential of economic nanosystems; to highlight the importance of capital as a factor of nanoproduction and an indicator of the innovation paradigm; to determine the labor resource in the development of innovative nanosystems; to analyze the intellectual potential of nanoeconomic development of the innovation paradigm; to identify clusters of innovative nanopotential in the regions of countries with transition economies. Each resource is examined separately with the first analysis of a resource security assessment such as land. The other resource under consideration is labor. Demographic factors become decisive in describing the development of labor resources. The capital factor allows the formation of independent economic systems, when the state budget affects the possibility of developing science, education and health care. A number of methods were applied during the study: methods of induction and deduction (to assess the importance of the innovation paradigm for the development of nanoeconomics); system analysis and structural approach (to determine the aggregate state of production factors); method of comparing the quality of production factors in market economies and in developed countries; an observation method (for assessing the state of resources in different countries); method of cluster analysis (to determine the existence of innovation-territorial regions in countries with economies in transition). The analysis is carried out to identify the conditions of the impact of production factors on the innovative paradigm of nanoeconomics. It reveals theoretical approaches to the formation of nanoeconomics and its active development. As a result of the study of intellectual and resource potential of security, a cluster analysis was carried out to assess the conditions for the formation of innovation-territorial regions. This study allows to understand the role of production security factors in the formation of the innovation paradigm and the efficiency of the development of nanoeconomics. The way of providing the basis for the development of nanoeconomics in the form of efficient use of production factors is considered as a perspective.
REDUCING CORRUPTION RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHALLENGES_En.pdfAzat Irmanov
Abstract
Environmental cataclysms, their increasing frequency and amplitude, as well as their consequences, create huge challenges for the population of all countries in the world without exception. Governments take measures to create systems of early warning, prevention, and prompt response to the challenges of natural disasters by developing and implementing targeted state programs.
However, imperfect public administration mechanisms and, primarily, corruption, pose additional risks of inefficiency, the impact of which can nullify and discredit the implementation of state programs to combat environmental disasters. Speed of decision-making and implementation takes higher priority over standards of transparency, accountability, equal access to information, responsibility, expediency, and cost-effectiveness. The protocols and procedures of operation of public organizations and officials should be developed not only taking into account anti-corruption standards, but also with high moral and ethical standards, because in crisis conditions the quality of public servants’ performance depends more on their commitment to moral and ethical ideals. Simplify the understanding of the high importance of moral and ethical characteristics of a public servant can be achieved through the use of cross-disciplinary models in relation to a particular position of an official.
This book analyzes declining long-term growth prospects based on the most comprehensive database of potential growth estimates available. It argues that a prolonged period of weaker growth is underway due to most growth drivers weakening in recent decades. This will have serious implications for emerging market and developing economies. The book calls for bold national and global policy actions to lift growth prospects. It is essential reading for policymakers, economists, and others concerned about the future global economy.

Financial and Economic Tools of Project Management in Public SectorIgor Britchenko
The article examines the introduction of project management as a result of the implementation of administrative reforms in modern states based on the management paradigm of New Public Management and New Public Governance. Based on both experts’ opinions and a number of cases from different counties, it is shown that the development of such elements of new public management as focus on achieving results, monitoring of quantitative and qualitative performance indicators, budget savings, creative organizational culture, became possible thanks to a set of economic and strategic tools that characterize project management, especially PMBoK. The expediency of a large-scale transition to professional management of public projects through the use of the generally recognized PMBoK standard, as well as the “living” Agile project methodology, is substantiated.
Financial Capacity of Insurance Companies as a Factor of Stable Development o...Igor Britchenko
The relevance of the article is based on an in-depth study of the financial potential of insurers and its impact on the insurance market, which provides valuable information for the stakeholders of the insurance industry. Therefore, this study aims to determine approaches to revealing the essence of the financial capacity of insurers, based on the scientific tools of financial science. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the analysis of the dynamics of liabilities (raised and borrowed funds) and equity capital of insurers and the relationship between them, which enables a comprehensive look at the impact of these indicators on the development of insurance market and internal and external factors that have both an objective and subjective impact on the financial capacity of insurers and the insurance market. The article defines the stages and methodology of assessing the financial condition of insurers. In particular, the normative method, the comparative method, the static method, the formal-logical method, the economic-mathematical method, the method of analysis and synthesis became the leading research methods. These assessment methods are crucial for the timely determination of the current state of financial capacity and its potential. Using a multivariate correlation-regression model, the authors demonstrate the importance of various components of financial capacity. The presented results will be useful to various stakeholders in the insurance industry as they provide a deeper understanding of their financial strength, including the dynamics of liabilities, equity and leveraged funds. First of all, it was established that financial resources are the basis of financial capacity. Secondly, the definition of the insurance company's financial resources as a source and component of the company's functioning is formulated. Thirdly, it is shown that the insurer's financial capacity is logically dependent on its investment capacity, which is determined by the amount of financial resources. It was also determined that financial capacity is a dynamic quantity and is manifested only in the process of its use and ideally should be accompanied by its growth. Among them, it was proved that the main components that significantly affect the formation of the financial potential of insurers and the growth of the insurance market of Ukraine are insurance reserves and authorized capital. These conclusions can easily become the basis for the formation of further state insurance policy, which will be followed through legislative reforms, increased competition in the insurance market and will result in an increase in the level of trust among the population.

Prezentowana monografia wskazuje na mechanizmy które powinny zapobiegać i ograniczać do minimum skutki poważnej awarii w odniesieniu do ludzi, środowiska, mienia poprzez dostosowanie uwarunkowań prawnych i organizacyjnych wobec podejmowanych czynności przez zakłady dużego ryzyka, organy administracji publicznej, podmioty ratownicze współdziałające w sytuacji awaryjnej.
W tym zakresie aby osiągnąć swój cel autor dokonał w procesie badawczym zderzenia dwóch najważniejszych systemów w tej kwestii funkcjonujących w Polsce, a mianowicie systemu przeciwdziałania poważnym awariom przemysłowym oraz krajowego systemu ratowniczo-gaśniczego. W badaniach empirycznych zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego wykorzystując technikę badania dokumentów w szczególności dokumentacji i analiz z ćwiczeń wewnętrznego planu operacyjno-ratowniczego oraz zewnętrznego planu operacyjno-ratowniczego dla określenia dotychczasowych działań i realizacji zadań nałożonych na zakłady dużego ryzyka i jednostki Państwowej Straży Pożarnej. Wykorzystano również technikę badania ankietowego wśród zespołów kierowania inżynieryjno-technicznego zakładów dużego ryzyka oraz funkcjonariuszy z jednostek Państwowej Straży Pożarnej w ramach których funkcjonuje specjalistyczna grupa ratownictwa chemiczno-ekologicznego.
W monografii problemem badawczym staje się potrzeba określenia, czy spełniane są wymagania formalnoprawne i organizacyjne w zakresie podejmowanych czynności zapobiegawczych i ograniczających skutki poważnej awarii oraz czy realizowane są efektywnie przez zespoły zakładowe we współdziałaniu z podmiotami ratowniczymi. Stosowne wdrożenie przepisów wykonawczych oraz elementów organizacyjnych do zakresu operacyjno-ratowniczego usprawni efektywność w działaniu zespołów zakładowych oraz podmiotów ratowniczych a tym samym zwiększy bezpieczeństwo w zakładach dużego ryzyka.

This research aims at establishing the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on ecommerce development of industrial enterprises by means of economic and mathematical modelling. The goal was achieved using the following methods: theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis (to critically analyse the scientific approaches of scientists regarding the expediency of using mathematical models in the context of enterprises’ e-commerce development), target, comparison and grouping (to reveal innovative methodological approach to assessing ICT impact on e-commerce development of industrial enterprises), tabular, analytical and integral method (for summarizing the analysis results of enterprises readiness to implement ICT, ICT use in the activities of industrial enterprises of Ukraine and the analysis of e-commerce development), mathematical modelling (to build a regression model determining impact of changes in ICT use on the market share occupied by industrial enterprises), generalization (to determine promising directions of e-commerce developing of industrial enterprises). The implementation of a comprehensive approach to understanding the importance of ICT influence on e-commerce development of industrial enterprises will ensure acceleration of the digitalization of business processes, will contribute to the speed increase of enterprises response to customer requests, and increase the market share occupied by enterprises. A new vision of directions for developing e-commerce of industrial enterprises is suggested, which are determined by the need for enterprise rebranding, the development of e-commerce tools and technologies, the importance of outsourcing service automation and promotion of subscription trade. ICT is considered as integration factor that determines prospects for e-commerce development of industrial enterprises and contributes to increasing efficiency of online business management. Research results demonstrate that the use of economic and mathematical modelling is an important tool for assessing ICT impact, and its absence can negatively affect the accuracy and validity of online business management.

Determinants of enterprise's financial security/Larysa Dokiienko, Nataliya Hr...Igor Britchenko
Our main purpose of the article was to substantiate the methodical approach to assess the enterprise's financial security based on the use of a model set for determining its parameters depending on the characteristics of financing activities and the associated level of risk. The proposed approach created opportunities to determine the parameters of the enterprise's financial security on the scale "level – status – position – zone" in the process of current and strategic management of not only financial security, but also the success of the enterprise as a whole. Based on the financial statements of Ukrainian enterprises by type of economic activity, the key financial indicators calculated and the parameters of their financial security over the past 9 years were determined. The research confirmed the decisive impact on the enterprise's financial security, the features of financing their activities, and the associated risk level. The practical use of the proposed approach proved that it is a convenient, understandable and informative tool for determining the parameters of the enterprise's financial security by the major indicators: Financial stability, liquidity, profitability, and activity financing risk.
Georgi Lyubenov Power and privileges in political history (XXX century BC – X...Igor Britchenko
The problem of the formation and development of privileges in politics in Bulgaria is not significantly different from what is happening with their evolution in Europe and worldwide. In this case, the only more substantive difference is that the privileges of power in Bulgaria began „anew“ for the simple reason that the country was liberated from Ottoman tyranny, after which the third Bulgarian state was established. That is to say, the emergence and consolidation of privileges took place immediately after the Liberation, as they found a place as an opportunity for institutionalization and regulation already in the texts of the Tarnovo Constitution (1879). Since then, the privileges of power have become an inevitable companion of political elites, who, depending on the nature of society (authoritarian, totalitarian, democratic), constantly consume one or other state benefits and advantages, legitimised in various normative documents. In this sense, and on the basis of historical development, we can conditionally divide the application of power privileges in Bulgaria into three main stages: the first – from the Liberation (1878) to 1946, or the so-called „capitalist stage“ of the primary and earliest development of this phenomenon (privileges); the second stage includes the „socialist“ nomenklatura privileges (1947 – 1989), which developed enormously in absolutely all spheres of society; and the third is the democratic, or modern, stage of the application of privilege (from 1990 to the present), during which all the benefits of power for the country’s new democratic elites (along the lines of Western democratic models) unfolded with full „legitimate force“. Through the prism of this tentative periodization, saturated with many significant accents and peculiarities in the construction of the Bulgarian state, the new institutions and political parties, we will also examine the filigree „weaving“ into the pores of statehood of many of the emerging privileges of the elite (in each stage separately), in order to highlight more clearly their significance in Bulgarian politics.

It is a prehistoric truth that antiquity is the origin of human civilization. This truth is often forgotten and ignored today because in many cases the back is turned to the distant past. This past, however, continues to provide us with an enormous amount of knowledge, both in terms of facts, phenomena and processes, and as new grounds for building hypotheses, concepts and theories. In this sense, authentic historical sources (and references) and the dozens of monographs devoted to this era can help us make sense of what is happening in the contemporary world and its social development. Such is also the problem of political privilege, which is almost impossible to study and explain analytically without tracing its genesis, conceived in the bosom of antiquity. For the problem dates back to the earliest „infancy“ of human history, when there were no state entities, institutions and organs of power. But there is something else: a thorough study of privilege from the dawn of its primary germination gives us rich opportunities to trace its evolution as a social phenomenon more comprehensively, to „unravel“ its real manifestations in different types of societies, and to make comparative characterizations (in quantitative and qualitative terms) according to one or another historical epoch, political system, and party leaders. This is what makes it necessary to consider privilege in a deep historical context whose roots are to be sought in the Old World, in the functioning of tribal societies several thousand years back.

The analysis of contemporary topics of the current political process is among the most important tasks that representatives of political science have to deal with today. Especially in countries like Bulgaria, whose people have borne (and still bear) on their shoulders all possible adversities related to the struggle for democracy. Because this great transition in our case was vitiated by a „primary dream“ of the newly emerged elite – looting of the national wealth! Life has proven that in such an environment, scientists cannot always specify in time and clearly enough precisely which problems in reality are to all intents and purposes relevant to the nation's agenda, which are „more relevant“, and ultimately which are „most relevant“. And as a result, they become an unchanging commitment to political analysis. This is due to the fact that the troubadours of the New Age are constantly covering up the ugly truths of modern times through their appearances on the television screen and in the pages of printed publications. Regardless of whether the data of sociology is used, or the facts related to a specific management activity are summarized. In this way, the purposeful interpretations of the facts do not allow the truths that affect the majority of the Bulgarian people to be presented in the public space in time, which is why an „information blackout“ occurs. However, it also does not allow political analysis to always and in time react with reasonable proposals to remove what is contrary to civilized social development. As a result, in reality „two types of political science“ arose and existed in Bulgaria for more than three decades. One – in its two main sub-variants – „left“ and „right“, plays the role of a servant in relation to power. This academic stratum welcomes all governments willingly, from which it earns solid financial dividends, insofar as it also „owns“ eserved media time.
Георги Л. Манолов Власт и привилегии в политическата история (XXX в. пр.н.е. ...Igor Britchenko
Проблемът за формирането и развитието на привилегиите в политиката в България не се различава съществено от това, което се случва с тяхната еволюция в европейски и световен мащаб. В случая единствената по-същностна разлика е тази, че привилегиите на властта у нас започват „начисто“ оради простата причина, че страната се освобождава от османската тирания, след което се създава третата българска държава. Тоест появата и утвърждаването на привилегиите се извършва веднага след Освобождението, тъй като те намират място като възможност за институционализация и регламентация още в текстовете на Търновската конституция (1879 г.). От тогава до сега привилегиите на властта стават неизбежен спътник на политическите елити, които в зависимост от характера на обществото (авторитарно, тоталитарно, демократично) постоянно консумират едни или други държавни изгоди и облаги, узаконени в различни нормативни документи. В този смисъл и на базата на историческото развитие можем условно да разделим приложението на властовите привилегии в България на три основни етапа: първият – от Освобождението (1878 г.) до 1946 г., или т.нар. „капиталистически етап“ на първичното и най-ранно развитие на този феномен (привилегиите); вторият етап включва „социалистическите“ номенклатурни привилегии (1947 – 1989 г.), които изключително силно се развиват в абсолютно всички обществени сфери; и третият е демократичният, или съвременният, етап от приложението на привилегиите (от 1990 г. до сега), през който се разгръщат с пълна „легитимна сила“ всички изгоди от властта за новите демократични елити в страната (по подобие на западните демократични модели). През призмата на тази условна периодизация, наситена с множество съществени акценти и особености при изграждането на българската държава, новите институции и политическите партии, ще разгледаме и филигранното „втъкаване“ в порите на държавността на голяма част от появилите се привилегии на елита (през всеки етап поотделно), за да откроим по-релефно тяхната значимост в българската политика.
Георги Л. Манолов Власт и привилегии в политическата история (XXX в. пр.н.е. ...Igor Britchenko
Праисторическа истина е, че древността е първоизточникът на човешката цивилизация. Тази истина днес често се забравя и пренебрегва, защото в редица случаи се обръща гръб на далечното минало. Това минало обаче продължава да ни дава изключително много знания както като факти, явления и процеси, така и като нови основания за изграждане на хипотези, концепции и теории. В този смисъл автентичните исторически източници (и извори) и десетките монографии, посветени на тази епоха, могат да ни помогнат да осмисляме ставащото в съвременния свят и неговото социално развитие. Такъв е проблемът и за политическите привилегии, който почти е невъзможно да се изследва и обяснява аналитично, ако не се проследи неговият генезис, заченат в лоното на древността. Защото проблемът датира от най-ранната „детска възраст“ на човешката история, когато няма никакви държавни образувания, институции и органи на властта. Но има и нещо друго: задълбоченото изучаване на привилегиите още от зората на тяхното първично покълване ни дава богати възможности да проследим попространно еволюцията им като социално явление, да „разгадаем“ реалните им проявления в различните типове общества и да правим сравнителни характеристики (в количествено и качествено отношение) в зависимост от една или друга историческа епоха, политическа система и партийни лидери. Именно това налага привилегиите да се разглеждат в дълбок исторически контекст, чиито корени следва да се търсят още в Стария свят, при функционирането на родовите общества няколко хиляди години назад.

Анализът на актуалните теми на текущия политически процес е сред най-важните задачи, с които трябва да се справят представителите на политическата наука днес. Особено в държави като България, чийто народ понесе (и все още носи) на плещите си всички възможни несгоди, свързани с борбата за демокрация. Защото този велик преход в нашия случай беше опорочен от една „основна мечта“ на новопоявилия се елит – разграбване на националното богатство! Животът доказа, че в такава обстановка учените невинаги могат да кажат навреме и прекалено ясно точно кои проблеми в реалността действително са актуални за дневния ред на нацията, кои са „по-актуални“, а в края на краищата и кои са „най-актуални“. И като резултат те да се превърнат в неизменен ангажимент за политическия анализ. Понеже трубадурите на Новото време непрестанно прикриват грозните истини на съвременността чрез своите изяви на телевизионния екран и по страниците на печатните издания. Независимо от това дали се използват данните на социологията, или се обобщава фактология, свързана с конкретна управленска дейност. По този начин целенасочените интерпретации на фактите не позволяват в общественото пространство да се изнасят навреме истините, които засягат основната маса от българския народ, поради което се получава „информационно затъмнение“. То обаче не позволява и на политическия анализ винаги и навреме да реагира с разумни предложения за отстраняване на това, което противоречи на цивилизованото обществено развитие. Като следствие повече от три десетилетия в България реално възникват и битуват „два типа политическа наука“.

Innovative approaches to business management in conditions of economic instab...Igor Britchenko
The article is devoted to studying innovative approaches to enterprise management in conditions of economic instability. The main goal of the research was to identify and analyse the impact of innovative strategies and management methods on the development of enterprises’ innovative potential during economic crises. To achieve this goal, special and general academic research methods were used, in particular ‘synthesis’ and ‘generalisation’, which were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of innovative approaches in the activities of enterprises in the conditions of unpredictable changes in the business environment. As a result of the study, it was found that, in conditions of economic instability, innovations in enterprise management should focus on strengthening innovative potential and production and on the technical improvement of business processes for which the formation of innovative strategies is necessary. It has been found that enterprises that actively implement innovative management methods in their activities have more chances to ensure their sustainability in challenging business conditions and, with this transformation of management practices, create conditions for dynamic growth and development of their innovative potential. As a result of the study, it has been established that using innovative approaches contributes to improving the efficiency of enterprise resource management, improves interaction with counterparties, and stimulates the further implementation of innovative solutions in production. Based on the research, the understanding and principles of forming innovative management strategies for enterprises in conditions of economic instability have been improved. In addition, a set of recommendations has been formed for enterprises and organisations regarding strengthening the management system based on innovative solutions to ensure the stability and dynamic development of business processes in crisis trends.

The authors of the scientific monograph have come to the conclusion that ensuring sustainable development and security of economic systems in the new geostrategic realities requires the use of mechanisms for state protection of national economic interests, innovative outsourcing and digital technologies, and environmental protection. Basic research focuses on assessment the economic security of insurance companies, logistics processes, farms, healthcare organisations, retail and e-commerce, and tourist destinations. The research results have been implemented in the different decision-making models in the new geostrategic realities, human resource management, environmental and international security, use of artificial intelligence, and city branding. The results of the study can be used in the developing policies, programmes and strategies for public-private partnerships, post-crisis recovery of Ukraine, and decision-making at the level of ministries and agencies that regulate the processes of managing sustainable development and security. The results can also be used by students and young scientists in the educational process and conducting scientific research on sustainable development and security of economic systems.
For the new realities in management and “Information security” competenceIgor Britchenko
The intensity of changes in recent years is truly astonishing. In such a context, the requirements for the competencies and skills of employees and managers are also intensifying in the direction of changes. On the other hand and in this connection, given the crises, today the management of information security is a necessity for any organization that considers organizational information as a valuable asset and considers it in the light of its competitive advantage. Information security is frequently associated with cyber security, a concept and field that is fast evolving on all fronts—technological, regulatory, and programmatic. From the perspective of the human factor, it corresponds to the knowledge transfer and learning abilities that are collectively referred to as "digital skills." Human resource professional competence and expertise are crucial to the management and development of information security initiatives, making them essential to the growth of any organization.
Exogenous determinants of the European Union’sIgor Britchenko
The article examines the influence of external factors on the economic security of the European Union. The study found that such exogenous factors as global economic instability, crisis situations in the markets of raw materials and energy resources, international terrorism, and geopolitical tensions can seriously undermine the economic security of the EU. Ways to ensure stability and compliance of European economic systems with external challenges are proposed, including improving energy efficiency, diversifying energy sources, and intensifying support for innovative technologies. The necessity of forming a comprehensive strategy for ensuring the economic security of the European Union in the conditions of globalization and growing threats from exogenous determinants is determined. Статията разглежда влиянието на външни фактори върху икономическата сигурност на Европейския Съюз. Проучването установи, че екзогенни фактори като глобалната икономическа нестабилност, кризисните ситуации на пазарите на суровини и енергийни ресурси, международният тероризъм и геополитическото напрежение могат сериозно да подкопаят икономическата сигурност на ЕС. Предложени са начини за осигуряване на стабилност и съответствие на европейските икономически системи с външни предизвикателства, включително подобряване на енергийната ефективност, диверсификация на енергийните източници и засилване на подкрепата за иновативни технологии. Определя се необходимостта от формиране на цялостна стратегия за гарантиране на икономическата сигурност на Европейския съюз в условията на глобализация и нарастващи заплахи от външни детерминанти.

Received: 8 July 2022
Accepted: 16 August 2022
The main purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the main threats to the system of
sustainable development and planning of the region in terms of ensuring the economic security
of the state. To do this, we applied a methodology that allows us to establish the dependence
and connection between threats and to determine the level structure of measures to counter the
negative impact of these threats on a particular region. The relevance of the study is given by
the fact that the regions of Europe today are also suffering from military actions on the territory
of Ukraine. As a result of the study, a multi-level matrix of the hierarchy of the negative impact
of threats on the system of sustainable development and planning of the region was formed in
the context of ensuring the economic security of the state. The use of this matrix is a relatively
new and more effective way to determine the measure of the impact of certain phenomena.
The study has limitations and they concern the selection of only one region therefore further
research needs to expand and apply our matrix to more regions.
Keywords:
sustainable development, security, region,
planning, threats
1. INTRODUCTION
The steady development of the processes of globalization is
accompanied by warring processes of regionalization. The
importance of interstate economic and political formations as
subjects of relevant international relations is growing.
Creating a sustainable model of sustainable development
and planning for the regions is the most significant lever that
ensures the sustainable development of the economy.
The constancy of regional development and the planning
process is largely determined by the pace, proportions, and
methods of using natural resources, which, after passing
through all phases of the reproduction cycle, turn into material
goods designed to satisfy the specific needs of citizens. This is
an unconditional axiom of the life of the population and the
imperative of the resource-environmental strategy of regional
development in the context of ensuring the security of the state.
The rational use of regulatory instruments allows the state
to act as a mediator capable of balancing social, commercial,
and national interests. At the same time, the importance of
regions is growing, which become the basis for the
implementation of long-term sustainable development goals
that require the construction of an optimal institutional
configuration to ensure effective interaction with the external
environment. That is, the use of certain tools allows the state
to form and ensure the stability of the environment in which
the economic agents of the regions operate, stimulating the
development of the latter. The described situation causes
increased attention in the context of updating the issues of
sustainable development and regional planning.
Today, global trends in the development of the world
economy significantly affect the development of all countries
of the world and regions, which is manifested in the
opportunities for regions with highly competitive products to
enter world markets. At the same time, the experience of
European countries proves positive results in changing the
institutional systems of states, abandoning the vertical
management system in favor of decentralized management
systems, which contributes to the sustainable development of
regions.
The modern concept of sustainable development and
regional planning involves ensuring the controllability of
development processes. This goal is achieved through the use
of modern technologies for modeling and forecasting socio-
economic processes, as well as technical and administrative
tools for regulating issues of ensuring the security of the state.
The main purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the
main threats to the system of sustainable development and
planning of the region in terms of ensuring the economic
security of the state.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Today it is difficult to imagine the planning of the region
without laying the groundwork for its sustainable development.
Scientists [1-3] note that the range of interpersonal
relationships throughout the history of human development is
expanding, today the number of links in the chain of identity -
family - clan - tribe - city - nation increases by one more link

2. - the planet, i.e. identity and citizenship have reached the level
of the planet. Modern humanity is aware of itself as one family
with a common destiny because we have no other home than
the Earth, so global problems concern all the inhabitants of the
planet and need a consolidated solution. The sustainable
development of the region in this case is aimed at ensuring the
socio-economic development of states without additional
burden on the environment, which could have a devastating
effect on our planet.
For example, Krishtanova et al. [4] also considered the
features of the economic and sustainable development of the
region, but they were aimed at the negative impact of threats
due to COVID-19. They considered certain features of the
sustainable economic development of the region and the
measures chosen by the governments of the leading countries
of the world to overcome the negative consequences of the
COVID-19 pandemic. This will make it possible to form a real
vision of the possible course of economic processes that will
directly affect the level of the socio-cultural life of the
population of certain regions. However, we believe that today,
COVID-19 is not the biggest threat and problem in most
regions of Europe. The impact of hostilities in the center of
Europe, on the territory of Ukraine, is the greatest threat and
danger today.
In modern studies of scientists [5, 6], real figures and
examples have already been given that military operations on
the territory of Ukraine have a great impact on a number of
elements of sustainable development in most European
countries. In this regard, the factor of war on the territory of
Ukraine is considered to be influential in the context of this
study.
We agree with the opinion of these authors that the war on
the territory of Ukraine has a significant impact on the
sustainable development of all European countries. Living in
Slovakia, our region has already begun transformational
changes in its own sustainable development strategy, taking
into account the influx of migrants and socio-economic and
military assistance to Ukraine.
Most scientists [7, 8] note the fact of the relevance of the
study of sustainable development and planning of the region.
Noting this that planning is the basis for the effective socio-
economic development of the regions, a tool for the formation
and implementation of the strategic goals of the socio-
economic development of the region. They also note the
importance of finding new methods to counter threats to
sustainable development and planning in the regions. We
agree with this opinion, which is why we chose this research
topic.
Scientists Bohnsack and Kolk [9] and Kates et al. [10] are
increasingly going into the question of what this sustainable
development of the region is. It is argued that ensuring
sustainable development is one of the main priorities, which
implies the effectiveness of business activities. This is due to
the fact that it is the constancy of activity that provides a
number of advantages, such as increasing the level of
organizational management and social responsibility, new
market opportunities and the growth of investment
attractiveness, innovation in production and management
processes, minimizing risks and reducing costs, as well as
creating favorable conditions for developing future
generations through the rational distribution and use of
resources In our opinion, the sustainable development of the
region is when there is no or minimal negative impact of
threats.
According to Vertakova and Plotnikov [11], the process of
ensuring sustainable development. In their opinion,
sustainable development is not always a positive phenomenon,
since it can set certain rigid boundaries and goals that are not
always possible to implement and achieve, which will push the
economic system and the management apparatus to take risky
actions, which in the future may negatively affect the overall
condition. economic security of the country.
As noted by Kačerauskas [12] and Balkytė and Peleckis
[13], modern technologies and resources are needed for
sustainable development. Without innovation, it is difficult to
talk about it.
Summing up the review of scientific and practical literature,
we can see that there is scientific interest in this topic. The
sustainable development of the region is considered in
different ways and even in the context of a certain period. It
can be both pre-COVID and post-COVID. Undoubtedly, the
COVID-19 pandemic has become a significant threat to
modern sustainable development in the developed world, and
despite the fact that the impact of other threats is currently
predominant. We see that today the number of threats is
growing and they are intensifying due to hostilities right in the
center of Europe, on the territory of Ukraine. This
fundamentally changes the sustainable development planning
system of any neighboring region.
3. METHODOLOGY
The methodology of our study includes several methods
aimed at achieving the goal. First of all, these are theoretical
methods for analyzing scientific and practical information
regarding the problem on the subject of research.
Also, the mathematical method of graph theory and the
method of comparative ordering were applied to determine the
level and types of measures to counter the main threats to the
system of sustainable development and planning of the region
in terms of ensuring the economic security of the state.
Graph theory and the method of comparative ordering has
the following advantages: universality, reliability, speed,
efficiency.
The main difference between graph theory and other well-
known decision-making methods is that in graph theory there
are special proven effective algorithms for finding optimal
solutions depending on various situations.
For clarity and a better understanding of the application of
the methodological approach we have chosen, we will choose
one of the regions of Slovakia, namely the Košice Region. The
experience of our authors on the sustainable development of
this region and through the use of the method of questioning
colleagues at work, who are also involved in planning the
sustainable development of the Košice Region, were able to
form the most negative threats to the development of this
region today (Table 1).
Thus, the selection criteria implied the choice of those
people who were better acquainted with the problems of this
study in the immediate environment for the authors. At the
time of the study, this criterion was sufficient, given the
significant experience of the people who formed the list of
negative threats to the sustainable development of the region.
It is planned to expand these criteria in the future. Today's
choice of threats is a demonstration of our theoretical and
methodological approach.

region
q2 Location next to military actions in Ukraine
q3 Low digitization in the region q4 A large influx of emigrants from Ukraine
q5 Low investment attractiveness q6
The purchasing power of the population of the
region
q7 Low tourist attraction
We understand that not all threats have been taken into
account; however, to demonstrate the application of the
proposed methodological approach and its theoretical
effectiveness at present, we believe this will be sufficient.
For a better understanding and display of the results, we will
set the appropriate mathematical identifiers for each threat
through a mathematical convention. Let, according to the
methodology, the totality of the threats we have identified to
the system of sustainable development and planning of the
region in the conditions of ensuring the economic security of
the state will be: Q =q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q6, q7 .
Of course, it is impossible to throw all possible resources at
all of them and provide an appropriate response to minimize
the negative impact at the same time. It should be
hierarchically put to the solution of this issue and therefore the
application of the proposed methodological approach. Its
results will be presented later in the text.
The methodology we have chosen provides for step-by-step
modeling of the hierarchical ordering of the negative impact
of threats on the system of sustainable development and
planning of the region through the identification of the main
threats with the determination of the relationship and
calculation of the level that a particular threat may have using
the hierarchical method.
4. RESULTS OF RESEARCH
So, the first stage of the results of our study will be the
formation of a 7x7 dependence matrix. All of its binary
elements must respect what happened (1):
Binary element qij=1, if i affects j; 0 if not (1)
The 7x7 dependence matrix of binary elements (threats) is
presented in Table 2.
Taking into account the results obtained in the binary matrix
presented above, we can present a model of links between the
identified threats to sustainable development and regional
planning in terms of ensuring economic security (Figure 1).

Threat q6 1, 2, 3,4,5,6,7 6 6
Threat q7 1,2,3,7 4,5,6,7 7
Now it should be noted that if according to Figure 1, there
is a path that can bring from qi to qj, then we can talk about the
reach of such a threat and we mathematically identify it as a
threat T(qi). If according to Figure 1, the arrows indicate some
kind of dependence of one threat to another, then this already
indicates that the threat affects the threat in a certain way, with
which such an arrow directs. We mathematically identify this
as P(qi).
Based on the results presented above, we should also
construct a 7x7 reach matrix for our multiplying q (Table 3).
The cross-section of threats mathematically identified as
T(qi) and P(qi) form a subset (2):

Figure 1. The model of connections between the identified
threats to sustainable development and regional planning in
terms of ensuring economic security
The remaining vertices that are not reached from any set of
vertices q and will form one of the levels of threats to the
sustainable development and planning of the region. In this
case, the following requirement (3) must be met:
R(qi) = P(qi) (3)
Therefore, the next step is to build an iterative-calculation
table to form the level of the hierarchy of threats to sustainable
development and planning of the Košice Region (Table 4).
We fill in the rows according to reachable vertices,
predecessor vertices, and those where the equality condition is
satisfied. Therefore, the lowest level will pose a threat q6
(Purchasing power of the population of the region). This threat
is difficult to resolve immediately and therefore has a more
strategic response. In our opinion, for the selected region, it
has the lowest level of negative impact. Row 6 is extracted
from the table and thus we get Table 5.

hierarchy of threats to sustainable development and planning

Threat q4 1,2,3,4,5,7 4 4
Threat q5 1,2,3,5,7 4, 5 5
Threat q7 1,2,3,7 4,5,7 7
From Table 5, equality is for threat q4 (A large influx of
emigrants from Ukraine). This threat has a number of points
that can negatively affect the social condition of the region and,
as a result, its sustainable development, however, in the
context of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, this problem
must be accepted for the time being and postponed for a
strategic decision and understanding to treat the problem of
emigration to the region through such a military crisis. It is
extracted and thus we get a new Table 6.

Threat q2 2 1,2,3,5,7 2
Threat q3 1,2,3 3, 5,7 3
Threat q5 1,2,3,5,7 4,5 5
Threat q7 1,2,3,7 5,7 7
Therefore, equality holds for q5 (Low investment
attractiveness). This threat already requires more tactical
measures to develop business and reduce the tax burden. As a
result of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, a significant
number of businesses that can work remotely (IT sphere) will
look for new European regions for themselves. This should be
used to counter the threats of low investment attractiveness.
Removing this threat, we get Table 7.

Threat q2 2 1,2,3,7 2
Threat q3 1,2,3 3, 7 3
Threat q7 1,2,3,7 7 7
Equality is fulfilled for element q7 (Low tourist attraction)
and means that tactical measures are needed for the
development of tourism, hotel and restaurant complex. Košice
Region is a picturesque area with great prospects for the
development of mountain tourism. This should be used.
Extracting q7, leads to the formation of Table 8.

Threat q1 1, 2 1, 3 1
Threat q2 2 1,2,3 2
Threat q3 1,2,3 3 3
Taking into account further calculations, we came to the
conclusion that the highest level of threat is the element q2
(Location next to military actions in Ukraine) and it should be
noted that it is the same for many regions of Eastern and
Central Europe.
So, based on the results of the calculations, we will form a
multi-level matrix of the hierarchy of the negative impact of
threats on sustainable development and planning of the region
we have chosen (Figure 2).
Thus, it is the threat that is most dangerous today and
requires prompt countermeasures. We recommend for Košice
Region to focus on smart technologies for managing the region.
Simplify as much as possible the tourist threshold for entering
the region and open its doors to all migrants from Ukraine.

5. DISCUSSIONS
Discussing the results of our mathematical and
methodological analysis, we can observe the intensification of
scientific attention to the problems of sustainable development
and regional planning through the use of such methods. As an
example, some scientists [14, 15] strive to form a model of
economic and social sustainable development of the region in
a pandemic or already post-pandemic. We live today in new
realities when the pandemic has become not the biggest danger.
The war on the territory of Ukraine, almost in the center of
Europe itself, is what is relevant today.
Interesting and similar is the study by Kryshtanovych et al.
[16], where they also, through mathematical modeling
methods, were aimed at sustainable development for the
regions of the EU country, but there was an emphasis on the
economic component. As the authors note in their study,
increasing attention is being paid to the circular economy as a
new socio-economic paradigm for optimizing the use of
resources for the sustainable development of the region. Today,
the regions where people live, work, consume and manage
play a fundamental role in a country's transition to a circular
economy, as they are at the center of key decisions that
determine economic growth, social welfare, and
environmental benefits. We agree with this vision, but our
study shifts the focus to modeling the negative impact of
threats.
Our study has a number of differences, and they consist,
first of all, in the fact that we noted the narrowing of the study
area. We do not seek to cover the maximum number of
problem regions or the problems of the whole state. We are
only interested in individual territories and socio-economic
systems. In many works [17-19] one can meet the identified
threats to the economic and sustainable development of the
region, but practically the news will show how it is possible to
streamline measures to counter these threats.
Discussing the results, according to the subject of the study,
the authors tried to present scientific novelty by forming a
multi-level matrix of the hierarchy of the negative impact of
threats on the system of sustainable development and planning
of the region was formed in the context of ensuring the
economic security of the state.
6. CONCLUSIONS
Summing up, it should be noted that today, in the conditions
of administrative and territorial reform, there is a need to use
planning as a peculiar form of state management.
Based on the results of the study, we have formed a multi-
level matrix of the hierarchy of the negative impact of threats
to the system of sustainable development and planning of the
region in the context of ensuring the economic security of the
state. The study has limitations and they concern the selection
of only one region therefore further research needs to expand
and apply our matrix to more regions.
We emphasized the problems and threats that hinder
sustainable development and planning in the regions of Europe,
but in summary, we can give several main recommendations
for the regional development of Slovakia: attraction of
investments in the territory; development of small and
medium-sized businesses; infrastructure development for
business development; increasing the innovative potential of
the local economy; increasing competitiveness of newly
formed communities; development of tourism; improvement
of communal infrastructure; improving the landscaping of the
territory; development of information technologies and
electronic governance; establishment of subregional
cooperation. Therefore, planning today consists in the
formation and implementation of a strategy for the sustainable
development of the region on the basis of continuous control
and assessment of changes occurring in its activity, in order to
support the ability of the territory of the region to survive and
ensure its effective functioning in the conditions of a changing
external environment. The search for new ways of stabilizing
regional sustainable development and increasing the
competitiveness of territorial production is becoming more
and more urgent.
The war on the territory of Ukraine had a strong impact on
neighboring regions, and therefore further research should also
focus on the Ukrainian crisis.
