   Food security occupies a special place in the system of national security of Kazakhstan, since the availability of food serves as a basic indicator of human activity. The country’s maximum participation in the international division of labor in the agro­industrial complex depends on solving the problem of food security. The choice of directions is determined by economic opportunities of the country, its role in the world, conducting of domestic agro­food policy, determination of advanced development strategy of agroindustrial complex, its basic branch – agriculture. Kazakhstan is the largest exporter of grain and takes leading place in the world in flour export. Thanks to good harvests in recent years, Kazakhstan was able to strengthen its ability to stabilize prices in the markets of Central Asia, Russian Federation, the Middle East, Europe and the Caucasus and improve its own prospects in terms of food security in the adjacent regions. The agriculture of Kazakhstan is in urgent need of modernization of its material and technical base, more advanced technologies and more effective and targeted state support, without which its dynamic development observed in recent years will be at risk.

The article examines the state of food security in the Republic of Moldova and the provision of the country’s population with food since the last quarter of the XX century. Until now. Based on the analysis of various information for the specified period, the author showed that by the end of the XX century. due to the destruction of the main production potential of the agro-industrial complex, Moldova lost its food independence. On the one hand, this is the result of a significant decline in domestic food production. On the other hand, this trend is explained by a sharp increase in imports of traditionally produced in the country types of food products. In conclusion, it is concluded that ensuring food security in Moldova is possible on its own production basis, which is due to significant natural resources sufficient for the production of all major types of food products in the required quantity and proper quality. Due to the fact that in modern conditions agricultural production and food markets, being neither self-regulating nor self-sufficient, cannot successfully function without state regulation and support The government should take responsibility for the development and implementation of a specific state program in the field of national security in the food sector to provide the population with its own food. Keywords: agro-industrial complex, Moldova, food security, reform, physical accessibility, development strategy.

The article is devoted to an urgent problem of our time — the problem of ensuring food security which under the infl uence of globalization and high countries’ interdependence requires to study the role of foreign economic factors in its ensuring. The analysis of the scientific literature shows that there is no comprehensive approach to the definition of external economic factors. It allowed the author to propose the definition, identify the characteristic features and classify the foreign economic factors that affect food security. It is revealed that in the current conditions of economic development the problem of various forms of malnutrition (from the defi ciency of micro — and macronutrients to obesity and exhaustion) is relevant, related to food security through the quality nutrition. The author offers the new definition of food security and concludes that the solution to the food problem today is to find a balance between the production capabilities of the national economy and the provision of necessary food with the help of factors of foreign economic activity that contribute to quality nutrition. The COVID-19 pandemic, which affects the demand, supply, production and distribution of food around the world, attaches particular importance to the topic. In this regard the Russian approach to ensuring food security is noteworthy, because over the past five years it has been formed in the difficult conditions of the aggravation of relations with the countries of the Western world. The study of the role of foreign economic factors in ensuring Russian Federation food security allowed the author to propose the new concept of Russian import substitution in the agroindustrial complex, as well as to raise the question of determining the possibilities of activating foreign economic relations for the development of the Russian agri-food sector in the context of the post-crisis economic recovery and the growth of geopolitical tensions in the world for further research.

The world in its politico-economic aspects is run by policy-makers who have an academic background in law or public administration or other related social disciplines including economics. Only rarely would a majority of the policy-makers be trained in economics. In the making of economic policy, the basic choices before the policy-makers are political and they transcend the narrow concerns of economists regarding optimal use of resources. These considerations in no way downgrade the relevance of economic analysis in economic policy-making and for the training of policy-maker in economics. Policy-makers need economic council to understand fully the implications of alternative policy options. In this book, Wolfson attempts to educate policy-makers in the areas of public finance and development strategy. The analysis avoids technicalities and is kept to a simple level to make it understandable to civil servants, law-makers and members of the executive branch whom Wolfson refers to as policy-makers. Simplicity of analysis is not the only distinguishing mark of this book. Most other books on public finance are usually addressed to traditional public finance issues relating to both the revenue and expenditure sides of the budget and neglect an overall mix of issues dealing with the interaction of fiscal policy with economic development. Wolfson in this book explicitly deals with these issues.

The main challenge for mankind has always been to eliminate the borders of its living space, as well as to explore and discover its new faces. Contemporary literature strengthens this postulate. It is the preference of the experts of various fields in spatial analysis is to consider space to be repairable, changeable and organisable. In accordance with this axiom, the five affected countries in the catchment area of the Tisza river (Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia and Serbia) worked out an integrated, mutual standpoint to support the problems of the catchment area and to exploit its opportunities with the aim to support transnational cooperation. They laid great emphasis on the existing resources which could become the driving force behind regional development directions. This study contains the summarised outcomes of the TICAD project (SEE/A 638/4.2./X) which was drawn up as a result of cooperation between renowned institutions of the five affected countries within the South East Europe Transnational Cooperation Programme (lead partner: VÁTI, Hungary).

In the context of the formation of a new world order, there is a need to make changes to the development strategy of the Eurasian Economic Union and, even more broadly, integration processes in the post-Soviet space. These changes should take into account the changes taking place in the world, the emergence of new properties of world politics, which are often generically called turbulence. The components of turbulence are conflictness and uncertainty, but this is not the whole list, there are other components. On the example of the Transnistrian conflict settlement, it is shown that success in this process is possible if we are not confined to the conflict itself, but we act on the basis of Russias and the European Unions mutual desire to reduce conflictness in the world and in the European region. Uncertainties can be contrasted with the emergence of military-political factor as the leading one of Eurasian integration in the form of rapprochement and the gradual merger of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
