Formation and features of development of ethnic entrepreneurship in the Sochi Black Sea region in the early 2000s are considered. The relevance is determined by the economic and ethnic interests of different groups of the population (indigenous people and migrants), the possibility of their violation and the risks of ethnic tension, as well as the desire of representatives of the authorities and the business community to form a recognizable brand of the region to increase tourist flows. The results of the pilot study based on the analysis of materials located on the Internet, as well as historiographical data obtained during the expedition trips are presented. A systematic approach is defined as a methodological basis. Ethnic entrepreneurship is considered as a model of integration of migrants into the social infrastructure of the host regions and a multi-level system of social (inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic) communications. It is shown that at the level of rural settlements (level 1), integrated into the urban agglomeration, the forms of ethnic entrepreneurship in the Sochi Black Sea region are not clearly traced. It is reported that widespread models of ethnic entrepreneurship are aimed at the development of recreational potential of the territory. The author identifies enterprises in the structure of large economic firms. These enterprises are tourist-oriented and can be considered as a “brand” both of their own structure and territory (level 2). The ethnic component is determined by the employment of migrants, for example, indigenous peoples of the North, Uzbeks. Difficulties in the development of such facilities among the indigenous inhabitants of Sochi (Armenians, Georgians) were identified.

Ethnic Business Entrepreneurship among Urbanising Bedouin in the Negev, Israel
  • Dec 1, 2006
  • Nomadic Peoples
  • Avinoam Meir + 1 more

The Bedouin of the Negev in Israel have been forced by the State to give up their agro-pastoral mode of subsistence, but were not offered any meaningful economic alternatives. Business has become one significant option. It is regarded here as 'ethnic entrepreneurship', as many traditional cultural and social traits are employed by them to survive within an entrepreneurial business environment that is highly constrained both externally and internally. This paper discusses the nature of these enterprises and entrepreneurs. A spatial and sociotribal analysis reveals no differences in these entities between the planned towns and the unrecognised informal settlements outside towns, but considerable differences were found between the fellahin Bedouin and the 'true' Bedouin which compete latently for sociopolitical and economic hegemony. The process of ethnic entrepreneurship bears implications for sub-ethnic internal relationships, for the Bedouin struggle to protect land to which they claim ownership from the State, and for the broader issue of ethnicity and business within the Bedouin community. Keywords: Market economy, traditional practices, fellahin Bedouin, 'true' Bedouin, business environment, land, ethnicity Introduction The Negev Bedouins' disengagement from traditional semi-pastoral economic and social modes of existence has been taking place intensively ever since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. And yet, five decades later, their integration into the regional modern urban economy has by no means been complete, nor has it been beneficial to them. Consequently the Bedouin are the most underdeveloped and socio-economically deprived and underprivileged population in Israel. This is due primarily to a consistent 'non-development' governmental attitude toward the community. This attitude of benign neglect has left them to pursue their own means of subsistence with virtually no public or institutional support. Situated within this economic situation, they are left with only the following options: highly constrained semi-urban pastoral and farming opportunities; a very limited and mostly Bedouin-exclusive public and private labour market; the informal economy; and formal business entrepreneurship. The first option has been studied extensively elsewhere (e.g., Ben-David 1988; Abu-Rabia 1994). The second is a widely publicised problem but has not been studied to any great degree. The third economic option, the pursuit of activity within the informal economy, is prosperous for some Bedouin community members, but due to its unique nature, does not easily lend itself to informed academic research and as a result is substantiated primarily through anecdotal evidence. In this paper we explore the fourth option, that of formal business entrepreneurship. In particular, we seek to discuss and analyse the nature of Bedouin business entrepreneurship and the ethnic components within this practice, and to discuss some of the implications of this process. Although the Bedouin economy exists within the regional economy of the northern Negev, the Bedouin are barred from the opportunities of being fully integrated into this economy; nor are they free to maintain their traditional economy of pastoralism to any sustainable degree. Our underlying assumption is that business entrepreneurship, along with its unique ethnic components, is a necessary adaptive measure taken by the Bedouin as they strive to enter into the modern regional economy. Why Business Entrepreneurship? A question must first be posed as to why we adopt the term 'business entrepreneurship' rather then simply 'business'. Indeed, from an objective capitalist economic perspective this process could be viewed as merely taking place in a group living within a totally market economy. The process would then be regarded as nothing more than a few individuals deciding to discontinue their previous economic practice in order to pursue a new business venture. …

The Decolonized Quadruple Bottom Line: A Framework for Developing Indigenous Innovation
  • Jan 1, 2015
  • Wicazo Sa Review
  • Fonda Walters + 1 more

The Decolonized Quadruple Bottom LineA Framework for Developing Indigenous Innovation Fonda Walters (bio) and John Takamura (bio) Sustainable community development through innovation and entrepreneurship requires vast amounts of knowledge and involves multiple perspectives and contexts. The terms entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability have grown to be remarkably broad in context and meaning. These terms appear to be continually changing. For many, entrepreneurship has seemed to only exist in the realm of "for-profit" business; however, over the last several years the term entrepreneurship has emerged to include other contexts, for example green entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, and sustainable entrepreneurship. This essay examines the potential for further development of entrepreneurship within an indigenous or American Indian framework. A tailored and decolonized model of entrepreneurship—one more culturally relevant for indigenous and American Indian people and nations—potentially provides a perspective that can lead to a more functioning, viable economy for these communities and nations. Furthermore, this new model of indigenous and American Indian entrepreneurship and innovation is grounded in acknowledging the past, but more importantly has the potential to create sustainable indigenous/tribal economies in the immediate future. The concept of a single bottom line has long been replaced by the triple bottom line of People, Planet, and Profit. The phrase "triple bottom line"—first coined by John Elkington, founder of the British consultancy SustainAbility, in 1994—suggests that companies ought [End Page 77] to consider the three Ps: profit, in terms of gain and loss; people, in terms of an organization's social responsibility; and planet, in terms of an organization's responsibility to the environment. Elkington contends that an organization must measure each bottom line in order to gain an understanding of the full cost in doing business.1 What the "triple bottom line" does not incorporate is an acknowledgment of culture or spirituality as a primary role in developing a sustainably sound entrepreneurial model fueled on innovation. Community development by and for indigenous peoples and their communities has expanded the requirements for success in expressing the need for a quadruple bottom line—a four-faceted theoretical framework that incorporates indigenous concepts and perspectives. It is proposed that through a quadruple bottom line, based on factors unique to the indigenous experience, a specific type of innovation here referred to as Indigenous Innovation can be achieved. There are several complex challenges related to contextualizing a framework from an indigenous mindset. In the case of American Indian people and nations, part of the challenge resides in the political status American Indian people hold as a result of the tumultuous relationship with the federal government. In most instances worldwide, indigenous people may not hold a similar political status outside their ethnic, social, or cultural presence in that part of the world. What indigenous people and American Indians do hold in common, however, is a shared past of colonization that has driven the direction of these nations and people. This essay is an attempt to create a model that "decolonizes" the Western view of economic development, innovation, and entrepreneurship and reenvisions a model in which culture is the wellspring of innovation and entrepreneurship and ultimately supports an indigenous/American Indian sustainable economic future. As Linda Tuhiwai Smith explains, Decolonization, however does not mean and has not meant a total rejection of all theory or research or Western knowledge. Rather, it is about centering our concerns and worldviews and then coming to know and understand theory and research from our own perspectives and for our own purposes.2 The decolonized quadruple bottom line is a framework for innovative strategies toward community development and nation building. This framework is based on the combination of Community, Spirituality, Sustainability, and Entrepreneurship, factors unique to indigenous peoples, and is used for sustainable enterprise creation. The overlap or combinations of each of these four factors leads to a subset of Cultural, Social, [End Page 78] Economic, and Environmental factors, also very much focused on indigenous perspectives. The overlapping factors located at the epicenter of the quadruple bottom line result in the creation of Indigenous Innovation, which is vital to the development of sustainable indigenous entrepreneurial ventures. This essay will define each of the four main factors of the quadruple bottom...

Migrant Employment in the Ethnic Economy: Why Do Some Migrants Become Ethnic Entrepreneurs and Others Co-Ethnic Workers?
  • Jun 21, 2014
  • Journal of International Migration and Integration
  • Julie Knight

Polish migrants who migrated to the UK in the post-2004 period constructed Polish ethnic economies with the Polish entrepreneurs largely using the surrounding ethnic economy to provide their co-ethnic workers. Through exploring the range of motivations and characteristics of those Polish migrants that became ethnic entrepre- neurs and co-ethnic workers, this paper will focus on the variations between these ethnic economy-embedded actors, particularly: why do some migrants become ethnic entrepreneurs and other migrants become their co-ethnic workers? Using data acquired through semi-structured interviews with Polish migrants in Cardiff in 2008 and 2011, trajectories have been constructed which focus on the changing motivations and characteristics of these migrants over time. From the findings, the migrants' acquisition of human capital in the destination country coupled with the migrants' social network usage are the main differences between those migrants that chose ethnic entrepreneur- ship and those migrants that chose co-ethnic employment. These findings are pertinent to the policy discussion at the national level and the supranational level in regard to both migrant self-employment and the integration of European migrants.

Ethnic Entrepreneurs: Identity and Development Politics in Latin America (review)
  • Jan 1, 2010
  • Journal of Latin American Geography
  • Joseph L Scarpaci

Reviewed by: Ethnic Entrepreneurs: Identity and Development Politics in Latin America Joseph L. Scarpaci Ethnic Entrepreneurs: Identity and Development Politics in Latin America. Monica C. DeHart. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2010. 192 pp., photos, notes. $21.95 paper (ISBN: 10-0-8047-6934-6). Cultural anthropologist Monica C. DeHart offers up seven short chapters, two of which were previously published in earlier reincarnations, about topics that should [End Page 179] interest geographers working in Latin America and the Caribbean. The work builds on research conducted over a decade and supported by respectable institutions (Inter-American Foundation and Fulbright-Hayes, among others). Language training in K'iche' also promises some real insight into the local Guatemala scene where Spanish is a second language for millions. The broader context for this book is riveting for anyone interested in small firms, cooperatives, entrepreneurship, and politics in the region. A common assumption is that indigenous peoples are not significant agents in driving job creation and increasing the standard of living in their communities. Kinship, local knowledge, and communal links might deter modernity. In fact, indigenous peoples are often cast as disenfranchised and powerless, though the rise of Evo Morales, Rigoberta Menchú and other 'indigenous leaders' in the Americas has refocused attention on native peoples. DeHart seizes on the idea that firms and governments can actually use ethnic difference as a comparative advantage in development projects. She is also concerned about the extent to which neo-liberal development policy erodes the micropolitics of development and identity. We learn that corporate social responsibility provokes responses among different (Guatemalan) ethnic groups in ways that are not anticipated. The first chapter, "Emergent Ethnic Landscapes," proffers anecdotal evidence that political leaders recognize the importance of ethnic workers toiling together in the free-market context. To wit, George Bush ends his 2007 Latin American trip with a photo opportunity of him in Guatemala loading crates of lettuce at an indigenous agricultural cooperative that was helped by US AID seed money. Vicente Fox's visit to the USA a year earlier included visits to leaders of Mexican migrant associations as well as U.S. officials. A decade before that visit, the Inter-American Conference of Mayors met in Miami and praises a Guatemalan indigenous philosophy from which "everyone in the development business could learn". DeHart calls these reconfigured development actors "ethnic entrepreneurs" who share a community-based participatory development paradigm. She draws on just three cases to highlight their value: 1) a Mayan organization in rural Guatemala, 2) a U.N.-sponsored program that recruits diasporic Latinos to engender development throughout Latin America, and 3) a relationship between WalMart and a Mayan organization to produce spa products. Herein lies the weakness of DeHart's pithy tome: a case of three begs the datainference ratio and calls into question the use of "Latin America" in the book's title for what is largely Guatemalan based. On top of that, the writing is often opaque and jargon ridden. While critical theory can illuminate and deconstruct, three briefly described cases would seem to stretch the ability to generalize significantly about either entrepreneurship, ethnic identity, or development politics in Latin America. Essentially, the author posits whether ethnic identity is a barrier to capitalism (e. g., is it anti-liberal); and the answer is that it is not. She asks "both how ethnic difference is produced through development discourse and practice to mark certain populations as potent development agents, and how differently situated subjects within those populations debate, reconfigure, and even reject those forms of difference as a the basis for their development agency" (14-15). DeHart's concern about Foucault's arguments regarding the imbalances of power and knowledge were not particularly illuminating. For example, in describing a 1999 meeting of a community organization in San Miguel, Guatemala (pp. 122-128; though on page 125 she refers to it as San Pedro), the conveners distributed tables and charts to the audience to explain the community development council's recent actions. DeHart criticizes the council's pointing to their financial accountability. She interprets the handing out of the statistical compendium as a "hegemonic interpretation of numbers," [End Page 180] and then proceeds to cite three...

Immigrant and ethnic entrepreneurship
  • May 8, 2019
  • Ali R Chaudhary

This chapter presents an overview of contemporary immigrant and ethnic entrepreneurship within the field of migration studies. After reviewing four classic conceptualizations of immigrant and ethnic entrepreneurship (middle man minorities, ethnic economics, ethnic entrepreneurial niches and ethnic enclave economies), the chapter reviews research on the benefits of entrepreneurship and ways in which entrepreneurship interacts with processes of assimilation and immigrant incorporation. This is followed by a discussion of the ‘racialized incorporation’ perspective of immigrant entrepreneurship, which argues that immigrants and their second-generation children are sorted into socially constructed racial categories that are associated with uneven propensities for self-employment and industry-sector prestige. The chapter closes with a discussion of recent developments including: the ‘mixed embeddedness’ approach to comparative immigrant entrepreneurship research, transnational entrepreneurs, and corporate franchising as a new model of immigrant entrepreneurship.

Indigenous Peoples on the Move: Intersectional Invisibility and the Quest for Pluriversal Human Rights for Indigenous Migrants from Venezuela in Brazil
  • Jul 3, 2022
  • Nordic Journal of Human Rights
  • Gabriela Mezzanotti + 1 more

Indigenous migrants are often treated without regard for their status as Indigenous Peoples, as if their migrant status would hierarchically supersede their Indigenous one. The flow of Indigenous migrants from Venezuela to neighboring countries has largely increased over the years. Currently, there are several Indigenous Peoples from Venezuela in Brazil. This evaluative interdisciplinary research addresses the relations between Indigenous and migration human rights protection with consideration for decolonial perspectives. It questions how living coloniality impacts Indigenous migrants' rights, leading to their intersectional invisibility, and how decolonial views on human rights may help overcoming these challenges. It claims that a decolonial perspective on human rights rooted in the pluriverse may situate human rights as emancipatory scripts when led by Indigenous cosmologies. Ultimately, this article aims to contribute to critical understandings on the intersectional oppression faced by Indigenous migrants and, by calling for a shift towards pluriversal approaches to their human rights, illustrate possible paths to the realization of Indigenous migrants' rights and the need to decolonize their lived realities. This may inform potential directions for decolonizing the human rights agenda as well as the law and practice of human rights in the case of Indigenous migrants in Latin America.

  • A N Sadovoy

Amshen Armenians of the Black sea coast of the Caucasus ethnic entrepreneurship models are the object of study. The relevance of the development is determined by the need to study: a) the ethnic structure of the population of the South of Russia the formation of history and genesis; b) the system of interethnic communication at certain stages of historical development. The analysis of the phenomenon of ethnic entrepreneurship and its local manifestations is carried out on the basis of historiographical sources and field research materials. The author focuses on the problems of allocation of adaptive models of entrepreneurship, the Genesis of this phenomenon and the nature of its impact on the system of intra - and inter-ethnic communications. The problem of interrelation between entrepreneurial activity and preservation of traditional economic specialization and ethnic self-identification is touched upon. The intermediate results of the research reflect both universal and unique (ethnic, group) adaptive forms of ethnic entrepreneurship manifestations and its importance for the preservation of historical and cultural heritage.

The article analyzes the concept of "recreational activity", it is determined that it does not fully meet the requirements of modernity, since to a certain extent in the conditions of globalization of society and the emergence of emotional and psychological tensions, recreational activity should be understood not only as the creation of conditions for recreation or physical recovery, but also as measures for the rehabilitation of psychological injuries and conditions. It is proved that activities in the field of recreation today can take place outside the boundaries of recreational zones and be associated with simple rest in an ordinary natural environment that does not belong to recreational zones, and therefore environmental protection activities should extend not only to recreational or protected areas, but also to the natural environment and recreational areas of public use. Models of recreational entrepreneurship in natureprotected areas of Ukraine have been formed, which are key tools for ensuring sustainable development, preserving biodiversity and increasing the economic efficiency of these territories. It was determined that the decision to use and implement a particular model primarily depends on the financial and economic component of the possibility of obtaining entrepreneurial profit in accordance with the specifics of the recreational area, its resource capabilities and business development prospects. It was established that the development of entrepreneurship in recreational areas is not only a source of financial resources, but also acts as one of the directions for the development of infrastructure projects, such as the construction of roads, water supply, sewage networks, lighting, recreation areas, tourist routes, etc. It follows that one of the root causes of the slow development of recreational entrepreneurship in nature conservation areas is the financial component, which requires significant capital and investment. The development of entrepreneurship in recreational areas is inextricably linked to many external factors unrelated to the process of organizing business itself, in particular, this concerns the level of income of the population, the cost of services, the economic situation in the country and the world, competition in the market and other factors of uncertainty, and therefore it is extremely important to determine the prospects for the profitability of entrepreneurship in the recreational sector.

Important progress and future direction of studies on China’s urban agglomerations
  • Jun 4, 2015
  • Journal of Geographical Sciences
  • Chuanglin Fang

Urban agglomerations are an inevitable outcome of China's new national industrialization and urbanization reaching relatively advanced stages of development over the past 30 years. In the early 2000s, urban agglomerations became new geographical units for participating in global competition and the international division of labor, and China has spent the past decade promoting them as the main spaces for pushing forward its new form of urbanization. The convening of the first Central Work Conference on Urbanization and the National New-type Urbanization Plan (2014-2020) further defined the status of urban agglomerations as the main players in promoting China's new type of national urbanization. Nevertheless, urban agglomerations remain a weak link in Chinese academia and are in urgent need of study. Only 19 articles on the theme of urban agglomerations were published in the journal Acta Geographica Sinica between 1934 and 2013, accounting for only 0.55% of all articles written during that period. Not only are there very few, they have also all been published within a relatively short period of time, with the first having been published only 10 years ago. The studies are also concentrated among only a few authors and institutions, and research is aimed at national requirements but is rather divergent. Even so, some studies on urban agglomerations have played a leading role and made important contributions to dictating the overall formation of urban agglomerations nationwide. Specifically, a proposed spatial pattern for urban agglomerations formed the basic framework for the spatial structure of China's urban agglomerations and guided the government to make urban agglomerations the main urban pattern when promoting the new type of urbanization; proposed standards and technologies for identifying the spatial dimensions of urban agglomerations played an important role in defining the scope of national urban agglomerations; a series of studies in the area of urban agglomerations spurred more in-depth and practical studies in the field; and studies on issues related to the formation and growth of urban agglomerations provided warnings on the future selection and development of urban agglomerations. Taking the progress and results of these studies as a foundation, the foci of selecting and developing urban agglomerations in China are as follows: to be problem-oriented and profoundly reflect on and review new problems exposed in the selection and development of urban agglomerations; to concentrate on urban agglomerations and lay importance on the formation of a new "5+9+6" spatial structure for China's urban agglomerations; to rely on urban agglomerations and promote the formation of a new pattern of national urbanization along the main axes highlighted by urban agglomerations; to be guided by national strategic demand and continue to deepen understanding of major scientific issues in the course of the formation and development of urban agglomerations, including studying the resource and environmental effects of high-density urban agglomerations, scientifically examining resource and environmental carrying capacities of high-density urban agglomerations, creating new management systems and government coordination mechanisms for the formation and development of urban agglomerations, studying the establishment of public finance systems and public finance reserve mechanisms for urban agglomerations, and studying and formulating technical specifications for urban agglomeration planning and standards for delineating urban agglomeration boundaries.

  • Abdulakim Erbo Gobena + 1 more

Entrepreneurship is currently a global concern as its great contribution and key solutions to the economy by providing more job opportunity, income generation area, the basis for technology transfer and development and non-economic with regard to sustaining political and social activities, increasing intention of equal resource sharing and active participation in economic development is gradually increasing. This significant contribution became challenged with many key determinant factors such as indigenous culture, local resources, eco-friendly environment and modern development strategies directly or indirectly with the power of influencing entrepreneurship development. This paper aims to assess the effect of indigenous culture, local resources, eco-friendly environment and modern development strategies on entrepreneurial development. As the nature of this study is exploratory, extensive review of literature through systematic, clear, and reproducible design for detecting, evaluating, and inferring the existing body of recorded 106 documents from published and unpublished journal articles, international reports and books related to issues was used as a secondary data source. The study pointed out that indigenous culture like indigenous leadership culture, indigenous team working and indigenous skills have a significant effect on entrepreneurial development; local resources such as infrastructure, local human capital and finance limitation, environmental marketing, innovation and distinctive competitive advantage have a significant impact on entrepreneurial development. The study implicates a distinctive gap between eco-friendly environmental theory and the practical application of green products for entrepreneurial development. Further empirical research will be needed for future studies. Finally, the study forwards future concern areas and recommends the value of this work with its limitations.

MONETIZING THE MOUNTAINS: TOWARDS THE STUDY OF ETHNO-CULTURAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC ASPECTS 
 OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 
 OF THE MOUNTAIN DAGESTAN
  • Jan 6, 2020
  • History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Caucasus
  • Saida M Garunova + 4 more

This article aims at a preliminary study of the status and prospects of the use of ethno-cultural and demographic potential of Dagestan in the recreational and socio-economic development of Mountainous areas of the North Caucasus region, so-called mountain tourism for example: spas, sanatoria, skiing, climbing, trekking and handicrafts.
 The perspectives of development of recreational opportunities in the North Caucasus are strongly connected with the population mobility and the stability of ethno-social situation and so have to be to be considered in the context of inter-ethnic (economic and cultural) communications of largely outsider authorities and inhabitants on regional and international levels. In this sense, acknowledgement of the country its culture, an introduction to the history of traditional economic specialization and its evolution, traditional customs and ethnic particularities, seems very important.
 The practical, social significance of the development of recreational potential is determined by its metaphysical place in the preservation of historical-cultural and natural heritage: traditional social-support systems, economic specialization, and the handicraft centers. 
 Ignored by previous researchers, the fact that the phenomena of "ethnic economy", "ethnic entrepreneurship" and "preservation of traditional social institutions" of the peoples of the Caucasus (in this case) can be traced at all stages of their history, manifesting its exceptional stability during periods of change, such as local forms of government, changes of political regimes and ideological systems. Moreover, it is often ignored that the actual problems of integration of these social institutions into ‘state-modernized’ Russian society are the basic factors or reasons for destabilizing the system of interethnic relations.
 This occurs especially in areas where various forms of ethnic entrepreneurship are represented by first- or second-generation often forced migrants.
 We propose a practical approach to advise local good policy.

FORMATION OF AN EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY: THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS
  • Aug 20, 2025
  • Baltic Journal of Economic Studies
  • Olha Shulha

The relevance of the topic of forming an effective system of management of economic security of the agricultural sector in the system of sustainable development is due to the combination of pragmatic challenges of modernity, scientific and methodological needs and strategic priorities of national development. The development of theoretical and methodological principles in this area is of significant importance for ensuring stability, adaptability and sustainable development of the agricultural sector in conditions of constant changes in the external environment. The subject of the study is the theoretical and methodological aspects of forming a system of management of economic security of the agricultural sector of the economy. The methodological basis is a comprehensive approach that combines general scientific and special research methods: dialectical and scientific-theoretical methods – to determine the essence of the category of economic security and the formation of theoretical generalizations, abstract-logical method – to systematize knowledge and formulate conceptual provisions. In the process of research, a systematic approach was applied to the analysis of the structure of economic security of the agricultural sector, which allows us to consider the system as a single holistic formation taking into account the interrelationships of its components. To determine the relationships between the elements of the system, structural-logical modeling methods were used, which ensure the formalization of complex processes and their systematization. The information base is the scientific works of domestic and foreign authors, as well as the results of our own empirical research. The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical and methodological principles for the formation of an effective system for managing the economic security of the agricultural sector, which ensures the stability and competitiveness of enterprises in dynamic environmental conditions. The formation of an effective system for managing the economic security of the agricultural sector requires a comprehensive approach that integrates organizational, economic, informational and social components. Ensuring the economic security of the agricultural sector in the face of modern challenges, in particular military, economic, climatic and social, is a complex multifactorial process. The prerequisites for this process are formed on the basis of the interaction of state, market and institutional factors that ensure the stability, sustainability and development of the agricultural sector in the long term. According to the author of the article, the economic security of the agricultural sector is an integrated system for ensuring the stable, effective and sustainable functioning of agricultural enterprises and the industry as a whole, based on the balanced use of economic, social, environmental and technological resources, the ability to adapt to internal and external threats, as well as the implementation of sustainable development strategies that guarantee food security, competitiveness and long-term viability of the agricultural sector in the context of global transformations. A systematic and comprehensive approach to determining the economic security of the agricultural sector, which takes into account both internal and external factors, as well as the integration of the principles of sustainable development, is key to the formation of effective management mechanisms and ensuring the stability of agricultural production in modern conditions. The functions of managing the economic security of the agricultural sector include: forecasting and identifying threats; planning security measures; organizing and coordinating management actions; monitoring and controlling the state of security; analyzing the effectiveness of the implemented measures; implementing preventive and reactive actions; information support for management. The implementation of these functions provides a comprehensive, systematic and adaptive approach to protecting agricultural enterprises from various risks, which contributes to their stable development and competitiveness. The system of economic security management of the agricultural sector is a multi-level, integrated structure that combines methods, tools, levers and support for achieving sustainable development, stability and protection of agricultural enterprises from various threats. It covers both economic and social, technological, legal and information aspects, which makes it a key element of agricultural sector management in modern conditions.
