FORMATION OF THE CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE REGION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEORIES AND CONCEPTS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of theories and concepts that influence the formation of the conceptual foundations of the economic security of the region. Scientific methods of material analysis and description were used to conduct the research. It is revealed that the conceptual foundations of the economic security of the region in theoretical and methodological terms are based on studies of the security of the individual and society, are formed under the influence of institutional theory, the historical school in economics and concepts of regional development and are developing in line with the evolutionary paradigm. The importance of taking into account significant socio-economic and political changes in scale and depth, which constitute the so-called current socio-economic and political conjuncture, is noted in the formation of the conceptual foundations of the economic security of the region. The research planned for the implementation of the task, aimed at obtaining results revealing scientific novelty, is associated with the substantiation of the conceptual foundations of the economic security of the region as a consequence of the development of modern economic approaches and theoretical teachings in the current socio-economic and political conjuncture. In addition, the properties of the evolutionary paradigm are generalized in the context of the research topic under consideration. The methodological conclusion is also made that the guiding guideline for ensuring self-preserving development of the region from the standpoint of economic security is adaptive practices aimed at bringing the evolutionary processes of the region closer to the direction and content of relevant factors affecting it.
