The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict and Iran’s Regional Policy

For Iran, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and its peaceful settlement were and remain closely related to national security interests. The basis of Iran's national security is anchored in the protection of all the layers of Iranian identity. Taking into consideration that this identity consists of Iranian, Islamic, Shiite and Revolutionary elements, we can argue that the attempt to impose a military solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and, particularly, the direct involvement of Turkey and foreign mercenaries in the conflict, has been and still remains a threat to all components of Iran’s security. The status quo of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has effectively hindered the implementation of the Azerbaijan-Northern Iran-Turkey pan-Turkic program. Moreover, the neutralization of this obstacle has been one of the important components of the security of Iran's identity. Azerbaijan, with the support of Turkey, is consistently trying to advance the idea of “one nation, two states”, presenting the northern provinces of Iran as “Southern Azerbaijan” and talking about the need to unite them with the Republic of Azerbaijan. In the context of this ideology and the struggle of the Pan-Iranian ideology against it, preventing the expansion of Azerbaijani forces toward the east and southeast was within Iran’s immediate interests. It is not surprising that in the aftermath of the 44-Day War in Karabakh, Iran has implemented several military drills across the Iran-Azerbaijan borders. The latest one is the largest and it has been accompanied by several anti-Azerbaijani statements from Iranian officials. In addition, Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia is a red line for Iran and the North-South Corridor is of vital importance for Tehran. From the perspective of Iran’s Islamic identity, the current Azerbaijani state, with its secular approaches and pro-American, pro-Israeli policies, is considered a threat in the context of regional countries which are founded on Islamic values. Many Iranian experts and state officials believe that the Israeli technologies and human resources which have been used by Azerbaijan can also be used against Iran. From the perspective of Shiite identity, although Azerbaijan is a country with a Shiite majority population, the facts surrounding repressions in cities with a significant religious population make Azerbaijan an enemy of Shiite identity. The policy adopted by Azerbaijan around religious organizations inspires Iran to raise legitimate questions about the sincerity of Azerbaijan’s Shiite identity. During and after last year’s war, the transfer of Sunni mercenaries to Azerbaijan has also had a major impact on the security of Northern Iran. It is crucial to remember that Iran has made it a national security priority to fight against Sunni extremist groups in Syria, Iraq, Libya and other parts of the region, asserting that if they are not eliminated outside of Iran’s borders, they will end up in the country proper. During the war, Iran’s officials repeatedly stressed the importance of the withdrawal of those mercenaries from the region. The presence of the mercenaries in the region was condemned not only by the representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran and by the Majles but also in a statement made by Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on 3 November 2020. From the perspective of Iran’s revolutionary identity, the existence of Azerbaijan’s clan-based state authorities and the reliance of Azerbaijani politics on foreign economic and political actors in a polarized society make Azerbaijan an obstacle for the dissemination of Iran’s revolutionary values. Thus, we can state that while Iran’s response to the escalation of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh was neutral and balanced, as it has been traditionally, Iran still has strong concerns about Azerbaijan’s behavior and desire for a military solution, Turkey’s involvement and the arrival of mercenaries in the region. Furthermore, Tehran’s statements about the sovereign territories of Armenia being its red line, especially when it comes to the southern Syunik region after the trilateral agreement of 9 November, make Iran’s security in the northern regions very vulnerable. This is the reason why Iran has been proactive with regards to its statements about regional stability and peace while also initiating a series of visits to both Azerbaijan and Armenia to boost all the possible regional projects, especially concerning the North-South Corridor.

Concept of Regulating youth Migration Mobility of Ukraine in War Conditions

Problematic aspects of the synergy of youth and migration policy, which acquire additional relevance for Ukraine in the war conditions, in the article were considered. The aim of the article is the scientific substantiation of the conceptual provisions regarding the regulation of youth migration mobility with the detection of modern priorities for Ukraine. The analysis of the legislation of Ukraine in the social sphere made it possible to reveal the importance of the issue of state support for youth among the conceptual-strategic and program-target priorities. At a time when developed countries are actively promoting the idea of «Talent on the Move», youth migration in Ukraine is taking on threatening characteristics due to the lack of systematic regulation of it. The results of a sociological survey of young people with migration experience, based on the example of the Lviv region of Ukraine, proved that youth re-emigration intentions were extremely low even before the Russo-Ukrainian War 2022. The emigration of Ukrainian youth is intellectualizing, changing the previous migration labor wave. The current wave of forced emigration also has the face of children and youth, who are highly likely to successfully integrate into host societies. Taking into account the risks of irreversible demographic losses and the social functionality of the state, it is necessary to implement a new concept of regulating the youth migration mobility, which includes measures to influence migration movements and migration potential, as well as support for the main areas of youth life. The new concept should be developed in accordance with the regulated priorities of national security, human and sustainable development, the expediency of youth policy regionalization in the conditions of a successful decentralization reform. The basis of the migration potential regulation is the organization of migration mobility monitoring in the context of the development and capitalization of human potential, that is, the clarification of the consequences of migration for the person and the region (state) of origin. It is mandatory to support of social ties with diaspora institutions. The new concept of regulating the youth migration mobility should aim to stimulate their re-emigration with a promising transition to ensuring circular migration during the post-war recovery period of Ukraine. The obtained results are the basis for further research in the part of determining the mechanisms of stimulating the re-emigration of young people to Ukraine and attracting their potential during further stay abroad.

LEGAL BASIS OF UNDERSTANDING HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE FIELD OF NATIONAL SECURITY OF UKRAINE

The article analyzes the legal basis for understanding human rights in the field of national security. It is analyzed that in general the establishment of human rights and freedoms is their recognition by the state, which can be done by various means in the framework of implementation, through the actions of both the state and the authorities and officials. Examples include participation in the preparation and adoption of international human rights instruments by acceding to relevant international treaties, ratifying them, proclaiming them in declarations, declarations, enshrining human rights in the Constitution or other legislative acts. It is substantiated that in order to better understand the essence of human rights in the field of national security, it is necessary to understand the essence of the very concept of "national security". To this end, two main conceptual approaches to understanding the essence of national security have been identified. According to the first approach, the essence of national security is primarily related to human security. In essence, it is based on the provisions of Art. 3 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which proclaims the priority of human rights and freedoms as the highest value, the implementation of which should be the efforts of the state. In turn, the second approach is based on the priority of state and national security. The author argues that it is expedient at the legislative level to determine the essence and relationship of human rights in the field of national security, by adopting a special legislative act as a logical continuation of the Law of Ukraine "On National Security of Ukraine", which would regulate public relations in the field of human security and its fundamental rights.

Energy security as a strategic priority of national security

Subject. The article investigates risk-forming factors and threats in the field of energy security of the real sector of the economy. Objectives. The aim is to substantiate indicators and thresholds to assess the state of the energy sector, to test the methodology for measuring the energy security of the territory on the case of the real sector of the economy of the Republic of Mordovia. Methods. I employ methods of scientific abstraction, analysis, and synthesis. Results. The paper shows that energy security is the most important priority of Russia. Virtually all other elements of national security depend on its condition. The key threats to the economy of the Republic of Mordovia include acute energy shortage of the region and high degree of deterioration of basic production assets. Conclusions. Development of "green technologies" and alternative energy are identified as a priority direction for ensuring the national security of the country. This is associated with depletion of fuel and energy resources and aggravation of environmental problems. It is required to promote access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy sources for all subjects of the Russian Federation.

Paradigm Shifts in Strategic Culture of Pakistan: An Assessment of Traditional versus Non-traditional Threat Perceptions

This study aims to establish a causal relationship that how nontraditional security challenges does not necessarily qualify to acquire a high-priority position in strategic decision-making of Pakistan owing to entanglement with traditional security concerns. The study examines that continual focus on traditional security issues has induced ‘tunnel vision trap’ where Pakistan cannot transit or at least reprioritize traditional national security challenges with non-traditional security concerns by applying securitization theory. The study finds out that even after displaying responsibility and caution in how it approaches strategic red lines within and beyond its region, its high prioritization of traditional threat perceptions weighs down on its internal nontraditional security concern. The research concludes that for Pakistan, even transitioning from geostrategic prioritization of national interest to the pursuit of geoeconomic objectives does not divorce its traditional security priority in decision-making. Such a tethered securitization architecture renders all transitionary junctions to its strategic culture futile or inconsequential.

Analysis of grain yield in ten Iranian wheat cultivars grown under semi-arid conditions

Increased wheat yields are an urgent priority for global food security. Phenological performance in relation to yield of tenmodern wheat varieties including Bayat, Azadi, Falat, Navid, Chamran, Marvdasht, Pishtaz, Shiraz, Sirvan and Baharan, which were released during the last five decades wasevaluated at Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. The superior cultivars in terms of grain yield (Sirvan, Baharan and Chamran), had also higher grains/m2 as well as higherbiological yield. Sirvan and Baharan also showed greater harvest indices (43.38% and 41.77% respectively). Booting stage was longer in cultivars with lower grain number (Navid, Bayat and Shiraz). The high yielding cultivars, (Sirvan, Baharan and Chamran)entered the stem elongation phase (SEP) earlier than others. It wasconcluded thatlonger duration of SEPwithout change in the anthesis timecan increase grain yieldin semi-arid regions

Continuous software security through security prioritisation meetings

Software security needs to be a continuous endeavour in current software development practices. Frequent software updates, paired with an ongoing flow of security breaches, requires software companies to address software security throughout development and post deployment. Prescriptive software security approaches do not match well with agile software development and its emphasis on self-management. Agile approaches are however in favour of meetings as a coordination and problem-solving strategy. This article investigates the role of regular security meetings centred on making security priorities and decisions for achieving continuous software security. Through technical action research and an observational case study, we studied variations of such meetings in three companies. We found that such meetings can reach key stakeholders, make security more visible, and contribute to ongoing security prioritisation. Thus, security meetings are a promising approach, especially for small and medium sized development companies with basic yet immature security competence. Future research should investigate further the role of such meetings and how best to organise them for different contexts and needs. For this we outline implications for research and practice, e.g., related to participants and how to organise the discussions and prioritisations in the meeting.

The Kake Climate Partnership: Implementing a knowledge co-production framework to provide climate services in Southeast Alaska

This paper provides a case study analysis of knowledge co-production with an Indigenous community and Tribe in Southeast Alaska. The 24-month study provided climate services and information in support of climate adaptation and mitigation with community identified priorities of food sovereignty and food security. Our objectives are to (1) describe an application of a theoretical framework that is specific to co-production among Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners, and (2) reflect on the ways in which this application supports relevance and use of climate services in an Indigenous community. Methods included text analysis of written research logs, review of monthly project briefings and structured discussions among a diverse author team. We found that co-production can be used to explicitly define a collective vision among partners that is a transformative way of doing applied climate and environmental science. As such, the role of the university researcher shifted from focusing on personal research interests to a focus on supporting local needs and priorities. When the climate services process is centered on Tribal and community priorities and locally identified science needs, the climate science aspect becomes just one element in the implementation of a larger local vision and goals. Challenges our team encountered during the study were related to logistics, communication, juggling priorities of multiple partners, capacity, and conducting community-based research during a global pandemic. We recommend that future efforts to co-produce climate services through research, adaptation planning, and mitigation be institutionalized and maintained over decadal, not annual, timescales.

THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN TERMS OF NATIONAL SECURITY

The article reviews the research on public-private partnerships and singles out their features pertaining to national security.
 The purpose of this article is to identify problematic issues of theoretical approaches to the formation of public-private partnerships in the realm of national security and ways to develop secure public-private partnerships in Ukraine, taking into account world best practices.
 The authors’ review of the Ukrainian research shows that there is currently a lack of in-depth and meaningful studies of theoretical and practical significance on this issue, which indicates the need for rethinking and updating the development of public-private partnerships given the requirement to implement national security priorities as set by the National Security Strategy of Ukraine.
 The nature of the threats to the national security and national interests of Ukraine requires a comprehensive study of partnerships between the state and the private sector in the basic areas of national security.
 National security is the result of collective actions of the state and society, while the mechanisms of public-private partnerships in the field of national security are not regulated by Ukrainian legislation. Creating a legal basis and institutional support are fundamental factors in forming an effective model of public-private partnership in the field of security.
 The introduction of public-private partnerships in the areas of the military, defense and military construction, state and public security, cybersecurity and civil protection requires significant state support.
 Furthermore, the non-governmental (private) security sector should become an integral part of the national security system of Ukraine.
 The authors develop proposals for the formation of an effective system of public-private partnership for the purposes of national security. First and foremost, these include the improvement of the legal framework for the development of public-private partnership and the joint development of specific measures.

Research priorities for global food security under extreme events

SummaryExtreme events, such as those caused by climate change, economic or geopolitical shocks, and pest or disease epidemics, threaten global food security. The complexity of causation, as well as the myriad ways that an event, or a sequence of events, creates cascading and systemic impacts, poses significant challenges to food systems research and policy alike. To identify priority food security risks and research opportunities, we asked experts from a range of fields and geographies to describe key threats to global food security over the next two decades and to suggest key research questions and gaps on this topic. Here, we present a prioritization of threats to global food security from extreme events, as well as emerging research questions that highlight the conceptual and practical challenges that exist in designing, adopting, and governing resilient food systems. We hope that these findings help in directing research funding and resources toward food system transformations needed to help society tackle major food system risks and food insecurity under extreme events.

The War in Ukraine: Implications for the Africa-Europe Peace and Security Partnership

This paper discusses the war in Ukraine and what the EU’s increasing preoccupation with it means for the EU-Africa peace and security partnership. It does this from the angle of a new EU funding mechanism, the European Peace Facility (EPF), which is a €5.6 billion fund that came into effect in March 2021 to support conflict management and international security during the EU’s seven-year budget period (2021 to 2027). The facility funds a variety of activities globally and—for the first time in the EU’s history— provides a legal basis for the EU to provide not only technical and material support but also lethal weapons to partner countries. As of May 2022, the EU has pledged to provide €2 billion to support Ukraine’s armed forces aside from the unprecedented economic sanctions the EU has imposed on Russia. The creation of the EPF is inspired by the EU’s ambitious Global Strategy of 2016 (EEAS 2016) and the preceding policy discourse between the EU and its member states on making the EU a “global player” and not just a “global payer”. This shift is partly a response to the emerging international geopolitical order in which the EU feels the need to assert itself and defend its interests globally. This marks a radical paradigm shift in EU foreign policy. The paper argues that the EU’s evolving foreign policy and its unforeseen use of EPF funds in Ukraine have at least two implications for Africa. First, the use of the EPF in Ukraine raises questions about the availability of funds for African peace support operations, which the EU has been supporting for some years. It raises also questions about the way Europe and Africa will decide about funding African security priorities. The EPF allows the transferring of funds and equipment to partner countries or regional coalitions directly, without the need to go through established regional organisations like the AU. Second, the EU’s changing security interests and geopolitical ambitions as well as Africa’s aspirations to find its place in the new global order could alter the dynamics of the EU-Africa peace and security partnership. While the EU remains an important economic and security actor in Africa—at the bilateral and continental levels—the EU-Africa partnership struggles to thrive and go beyond money to live up to its full potential. To meet their own aspirations, the paper argues that the AU and its member states will have to work harder to reduce their financial, security and economic dependence on non-African states. The AU and its member states will also have to avoid getting trapped in geopolitical confrontations between “the east” and “the west”. At the same time, they need to summon the political leadership the continent needs to prevent and manage internal political crises and conflicts on the continent while reducing interference from different international partners.

A Política dos Estados Unidos para a África desde a II Guerra Mundial até ao início da década de 1960

Despite the so-called American anti-colonial tradition (the legacy of independence, or Spirit of ‘76), between World War II and the beginning of the 1960s, the African policy of the United States was always subordinated to the security priorities of Europe. In fact, at the end of World War II, Europe was threatened with collapse, not only due to the approximately 80 million deaths it caused, but also to the gigantic needs for social and economic reconstruction caused by the massive destruction of its productive, housing and commercial activities, which made it impossible to satisfy the basic conditions of survival. A chaotic situation from which emerged a virtually unstoppable human torrent, through which the populations of the countries involved in the war would seek to conquer a world free from misery and hunger, exploitation and oppression. Faced with this “revolutionary wave”, exacerbated by the political impotence of most European elites largely discredited as a result of their capitulation and collaboration with the Nazi occupier, the US government feared that it could make it possible to implement what it qualified as a communist threat, choosing to help rebuild devastated Europe. What makes it possible to understand the “Europe First Policy” and the consequent subordination of all African perspectives of the foreign policy of the United States to European priorities, an orientation that would begin to be changed between 1958 and 1960, during the Eisenhower administration, who claimed an independent American policy for Africa, when the uninterrupted torrent of the conquest of independence by the colonies was about to submerge the entire continent. In turn, the Kennedy administration ensured the continuity of this policy, despite the apparent support for Afro-Asiatic anti-colonial claims, which highlighted the difficulties of adapting to the political priorities of the decolonization era on the part of European colonial powers, especially Portugal. However, this reorientation has never changed the foreign policy of the United States, which has always focused on defending Europe against all kind of threats.

The role of food and land use systems in achieving India’s sustainability targets

The food and land use sector is a major contributor to India’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. On one hand, India is committed to sustainability targets in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sectors, on the other, there is little clarity whether these objectives can align with national developmental priorities of food security and environmental protection. This study fills the gap by reviewing multiple corridors to sustain the AFOLU systems through an integrated assessment framework using partial equilibrium modeling. We create three pathways that combine the shared socio-economic pathways with alternative assumptions on diets and mitigation strategies. We analyze our results of the pathways on key indicators of land-use change, GHG emissions, food security, water withdrawals in agriculture, agricultural trade and production diversity. Our findings indicate that dietary shift, improved efficiency in livestock production systems, lower fertilizer use, and higher yield through sustainable intensification can reduce GHG emissions from the AFOLU sectors up to 80% by 2050. Dietary shifts could help meet EAT-Lancet recommended minimum calorie requirements alongside meeting mitigation ambitions. Further, water withdrawals in agriculture would reduce by half by 2050 in the presence of environmental flow protection and mitigation strategies. We conclude by pointing towards specific strategic policy design changes that would be essential to embark on such a sustainable pathway.

Strategic imperatives of using institutional indicators of economic security in the management of sustainable development

The subject of the study is the strategic imperatives of sustainable development management, which are understood as dominant priorities for a certain period of time. In this context, at this stage, they are most closely related to economic and national security and their institutional indicators. The purpose of the article is to define a set of institutional indicators, problems and possibilities of their use in accordance with the strategic imperatives of managing sustainable development. The methodological basis of the article is the methods and approaches of economic, institutional and theory of sustainable development. In particular, historical, monographic, system-structural analysis and synthesis, indicative are used. Results of the article. As a result of the study, it was found that institutional indicators of sustainable development are related to various spheres of activity: social, industrial and economic, monetary policy and currency regulation, public administration. They are different in nature, but they are united by normative and threshold values and constraints as favorable or critical for sustainable development. This concerns the quantification of the impact of formal and informal institutions, as well as the emergence of pseudo-institutions. Therefore, the institutional system and its dynamics – the modernization of existing institutions and the creation of new institutions – are of strategic importance for sustainable development. Field of application of results. Local self-government bodies, business structures, institutions of the social sphere, institutions of higher education. Conclusions. The interrelationship of the institutional environment, the presence of threats to sustainable development and the state of economic security of the country testify to the legality of using institutional indicators in the management of sustainable development. Under the condition of further research of the institutional components of economic security, a much more accurate and detailed description of the institutional component of sustainable development, the development of methods for its assessment, the determination of indicators, indices, and threshold values can be achieved. Regarding the institutions of civil society, as well as the institutions of sustainable development, they need further development. Therefore, the reorganization of economic security priorities and institutional modernization can be delayed for a long time, which should not be allowed. If the national government is able to combine the protection of national interests with the course of de-corruption, detinization, then this will be a big step forward on the way to institutional modernization and the system of economic security, and processes of sustainable development.

Priorities of Security and Development of the Central Asian Region in a Changing World

The article deals with the main issues of identifying the security and development priorities of the countries of Central Asia in the context of geopolitical tensions and global shifts in the world. It was noted that in order to implement the security and development priorities of the countries of the Central Asian region, it is important to strengthen ties in the face of increased competition among the countries of the region for attracting financial, investment, human and other resources. The necessity of forming a new formation of a regional scale in the context of coordinating the efforts of the countries of the Central Asian region in ensuring their integration and cooperation is substantiated. The key directions of the regional development program are proposed on the basis of mechanisms for the development and implementation of interstate projects for the modernization of national ecosystems, taking into account integrated infrastructure, telecommunications, digital and other systems and platforms.

Post-9/11 Dilemma over the Priority of National Security or Civil Liberties in Marvel Comics (2001-2004)

The article contains an analysis of comics from Marvel Comics, published between the second half of 2001 and the end of 2004. With the mixed methods approach (quantitative and qualitative research), the criterion for the analysis is appearance of and references to the socio-political dilemma of the conflict between ensuring national security and respecting civil liberties. It was one of the most important topics of debate for American society after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in the sphere of politics and law in the US. The analysis aims to discover the number of comics that dealt with the subject of this post-9/11 dilemma, as well as to categorize individual stories, with the use of Jonathan Culler’s over-interpretation, as supporting the priority of national security or advocating for the importance of civil liberties. With these data, it will be possible to determine the political tone of individual comics, as well as to establish the views of the artists working for Marvel Comics and their attitudes to the policy pursued by the administration of President George W. Bush. The article uses studies conducted as part of doctoral research from the unpublished dissertation Terrorism, politics, and civil liberties in the American comics after September 11, 2001, based on a comics analysis of Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Image Comics.

Strategic Forecasting Toward Achieving Defensible Space Architecture by Year 2030

Along with the increased demand for space access transportation, a rise in adversarial offensive capabilities, and increasing reliance upon space-based assets, U.S. space assets are now more vulnerable to ground- and space-based threats than ever. The U.S. Air Force in its Fiscal Year Posture Statement 2018 recognized that meeting the space threat remains a U.S. Air Force priority for national security. This, along with the creation of a new Space Force, provides more interest in space defense and detailed space architecture development. This needs to be approached pragmatically and strategically. For this, there is a need for a cohesive plan that will support the continued integration and normalization of space in the joint war-fighting environment and places a high priority on space to ensure that U.S. space systems continue to operate in a contested environment. The goal of this study is to identify the national security transportation capabilities and supporting assets needed to establish a superior force in space by the year of 2030 and beyond. Additionally, the science and technology areas that are needed to develop these capabilities are identified, and a strategic space transportation roadmap is generated.

Provision of financial security of the region under conditions economic crisis

 security of the region in the context of the economic crisis. The problem is posed, which is the inaccuracy of the legally fixed system for assessing the level of financial security.
 The interpretation of the concept of "economic crisis" is also demonstrated. Its classification is noted
 and the characteristics of each species are given. The cyclicity and views of scientists are considered.
 The concept, objects, directions of financial security and steps to solve its problem, as well as the
 vision of scientists on financial security and its system are highlighted. This article presents the levels of financial security priorities, types of threats, its main problems, directions and possible solutions to these problems are given.

OPTIMIZATION OF RISKS OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE ENTERPRISE ON THE BASIS OF LOGISTICS

The article provides a research analysis of the peculiarities of the formation and functioning of the economic security system of enterprises using a logistic approach. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the economic security of enterprises and organizations is largely ensured by the effectiveness of the logistics activities of organizations. It has been proven that the economic security of the enterprise and logistics are systemically interconnected. The purpose of this study is to establish the place of logistics in the priorities of economic security of enterprises and organizations. Within the framework of the article, trends in the development of logistics at Ukrainian enterprises, types of risks that arise when ensuring the necessary level of economic security of the enterprise are considered. Actual problems and risks faced by enterprises in the presence of shortcomings in the conduct of production and economic activities are highlighted. It is substantiated that the economic risk for any enterprise can be presented in the form of a block system, each block of which is affected in a certain way by the logistics component. The theoretical essence of the organization's economic security service is considered. Possible ways of improving the efficiency of the economic security system of enterprises using a logistic approach are proposed. The importance and relevance of the study of the problems of ensuring the economic security of the enterprise using the logistics approach is also due to the fact that logistics in modern conditions is one of the effective factors of increasing the efficiency of the economy. Modern logistics solves not only the issue of the delivery of goods from the manufacturer to the consumer, but also, being an important link in the supply chain, the issue of the purchase of raw materials from the supplier to the manufacturer, as well as transportation, security and information sphere and other industries in the process of production of goods by various enterprises. It is substantiated that the production risk actually affects all types of sales risks, but the main direction of its action is focused on the risks of the quality of products and services, as well as on the cost risks associated with the cost of products and the profit of the enterprise. It has been proven that in the field of industrial and commercial activity of enterprises, it is absolutely necessary to justify the list of priority directions for increasing economic security and the formation of a resource distribution mechanism using a logistic approach to achieve maximum economic and technological results for a given number of resources. At the same time, the competitiveness of enterprises on the market and the state of their economic security are largely determined by the availability of a system of logistics service for consumer orders, and, therefore, the level of quality of the service provided. Logistics offers a new approach to the organization of effective delivery of finished products of the enterprise to the end user.
