The article represents a historical survey that describes the emergence and development of the circular economy as an independent concept and its interconnection to the phenomenon of new industrialization. The variety of definitions of the concept “circular economy” given by Russian and foreign scientists are provided in the article; basic approaches to the concept formation are determined. The comparative analysis of basic concepts related to the environmentalism (sustainable development, ecologization, green economy, circular economy) was carried out. The evolutionary development of ecological imperatives that take part in the concept formation is studied; the characteristics of the concept, current state and general development prospects are described. The article is concluded by the clarified definition of “circular economy”. From the author’s point of view, the circular economy concept is a general approach to promote green growth in countries’ development that allows overcoming global ecological problems and, as a result, achieving sustainable state of the planet and saving lives on Earth.

Subject. The article addresses the principles of circular economy in their relationship with the principles of sustainable development and green economy. Objectives. The aim is to clarify the principles of circular economy and green economy, establish the relationship of principles of these concepts, propose new principles of circular economy. Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, synthesis, comparative and causal analysis. Results. The paper presents a comparative analysis of principles of the green economy. On its basis, a new interpretation of the concept principles is offered. Taking into account the interrelation of the concepts of green and circular economies, the paper also clarifies the principles of the circular economy. The framework of the circular economy is supplemented by principles of regional specificity, recovery, regeneration and reclamation. I propose to consider the framework of circular economy from the point of view of "principles-conditions" and "principles-actions". Conclusions. Despite its popularity, the paradigm of the circular economy has not been properly formed. The scientific literature still lacks a systems and comprehensive analysis of its conceptual foundations. The principles of circular economy should reflect the relationship of the concept with the fundamental principles of sustainable development and the green economy, though have their own specifics.

Today, the world scientific community has not yet formed an agreed point of view on the definition of a «green» economy. Many important generalizations in this direction require development. This is necessary for a more detailed understanding of the essence of the construct under study, determination of scientific and practical goals in this area, identification of approaches, construction of classifications. The article deals with the definitive aspect of the concept of «bioeconomy». As a result of generalization of the already formed theoretical and practical approaches, a classification of directions for the development of bioeconomy was obtained. The main tasks of the author’s research are as follows: a) identifying the role and place of bioeconomics in the system of sciences; b) consideration of the priority directions of its development in an innovative economy in the context of continuous transformation processes, globalization, automation. Solving these problems creates a theoretical basis for training specialists focused on the implementation of competencies in the field of bioeconomics. The methodological basis for the analysis of theoretical and practical aspects 53 ТЕОРИЯ И МЕТОДОЛОГИЯ of bioeconomics and the proposed conclusions was the scientific content of the official websites of research Russian and foreign institutions working in this area, using the terms «bioeconomics», «biotechnology», «bioengineering education», «transdisciplinarity».

The theoretical principles of adaptive management of agrarian sphere of the region are formulated in the article. The current state and main directions of the study of adaptive management are outlined. It has been identified that adaptive management is an interdisciplinary concept and has a wide scope. Based on the morphological analysis the following basic approaches to the interdisciplinary interpretation of the definition of “adaptive management” are identified and substantiated: process, system, structural, system-structural, functional and complex. Representatives of each approach to interpretation are described, characteristics and advantages and disadvantages are outlined. The mechanism, functions and stages of forming an adaptive control system at micro- and macro-levels are investigated. On the basis of the performed theoretical analysis, the aut hors formulated the definition and created the author's model of implementation of adaptive management, which involves making management decisions based on changes in the environment of the object's existence and its adaptation to them. The essential differences of adaptive, anti-crisis and antisipative management are outlined. The purpose, main task, orientation, period and form of implementation, tools, characters of interaction with the operating environment, goals, processing and ways of gathering information of such types of management are investigated. A wide range of definitions of adaptive management at the micro and macro levels have been analyzed and evaluated. The concept of adaptive management of agrarian sphere of the region is defined. The connection between the level of development of infrastructure, institutions, institutes and efficiency of the economy of the country and agrarian sphere in particular is noted. It is determined that the adaptive management of the agrarian sphere of the region should be based on a systematic approach using modern methods of management theory.

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the green and circular economy (GCE) model from the point of view of the resources and capacities of the organization. How is the application of the circular economy model related to strategic management? At first glance, it seems that the CE is operating within an operational level with a social impact. However, it also has implications that allow us to think that it can be used as an internal resource of the company that, if applied in the right way, can become a competitive advantage. In other words, the application of the CE is related to strategic management through the point of view based on resources and capabilities. Therefore, the present investigation has a descriptive-correlational nature, which was analyzed through Peng's VRIO framework.

The article describes the current state of the world energy market from the point of view of the production and consumption of energy resources. It considers the dynamics of the contribution of the world regions to the overall energy balance. It was noted that the trends of the EU countries are generally different from the rest of the world in favor of reducing the energy load, increasing energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable resources. The author carried out an analysis of the EU energy structure in which the predominant share is assigned to "green" sources. The fundamentals and key principles of energy cooperation and its impact on the economy of the EU countries are presented. Conclusions have been drawn about the most serious obstacles that hinder the spread of renewable energy: technical, administrative, economic. Prospects for the introduction of "green" initiatives in the EU countries are outlined.

The article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments in the framework of scientific discussionof the subject area of territorial communities’s cooperation development in Ukraine, which is clarified inthe main normative documents, scientific, practical-oriented and methodical publications. It was stated thatin 2013–2018, in the field of scientific and methodological support for processes of territorial communities’cooperation, a number of analytical materials were prepared regarding the processes of concludingagreements on cooperation’s documentation and methodological recommendations on their basis, educationaland practical manuals were issued, several scientific studies were implemented, sections were created onspecialized web resources, a distance learning course was developed. It has been determined that these effortsproved to be inadequate, which results in a situation where the number of communities using the mechanismof intermunicipal cooperation in Ukraine remains relatively low. The state and dynamics of development ofintermunicipal cooperation processes in Ukraine have been analysed, which allowed formulating a scientificproblem that needs to be solved in the near future, namely: there is a contradiction between the urgent needfor the management tools development for territorial communities’ cooperation support in the conditions ofdecentralization in Ukraine and the lack of conceptual and methodological provision for these processes. A listof the main tasks of integrated scientific research aimed at solving this problem is given, in particular, the studyof existing models of territorial communities’ cooperation from the point of view of introducing the necessarychanges in the forms, methods and procedures of the domestic public administration bodies, clarification ofthe concepts of the study’s scope, the definition of the basic principles and practices approved and recognizedby the international community, the conceptual model of territorial communities’ cooperation support at theregional level formation, the development of methodological approaches to measuring the success and degreeof maturity in the field of territorial communities’ cooperation as the basis of continuous improvement.
