Russian Region

The issue of economic security is becoming an increasingly urgent one. The purpose of this article is to develop a method for assessing threats to the economic security of the Russian region. This method is based on step-by-step actions: first of all, choosing an element of the region’s economic security system and collecting its descriptive indicators; then grouping indicators by admittance-process-result categories and building hypotheses about their influence; testing hypotheses using a statistical package and choosing the most significant connections, which can pose a threat to the economic security of the region; thereafter ranking regions by the level of threats and developing further recommendations. The importance of this method is that with the help of grouping regions (territory of a country) based on proposed method, it is possible to develop individual economic security monitoring tools. As a result, the efficiency of that country’s region can be higher. In this work, the proposed method was tested in the framework of public procurement in Russia. A total of 14 indicators of procurement activity were collected for each region of the Russian Federation for the period from 2014 to 2018. Regression models were built on the basis of the grouped indicators. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Estimation was used. As a result of pairwise regression models analysis, we have defined four significant relationships between public procurement indicators. There are positive connections between contracts that require collateral and the percentage of tolerances, between the number of bidders and the number of regular suppliers, between the number of bidders and the average price drop, and between the number of purchases made from a single supplier and the number of contracts concluded without reduction. It was determined that the greatest risks for the system were associated with the connection between competition and budget savings. It was proposed to rank analyzed regions into four groups: ineffective government procurement, effective government procurement, and government procurement that threatens the system of economic security of the region, that is, high competition with low savings and low competition with high savings. Based on these groups, individual economic security monitoring tools can be developed for each region.

The Impact

Economic security is a fundamental cord that would enhance the empowerment levels of women. In the patriarchal family structure, women have little or no access to economic resources, making them vulnerable. Social sanction for femicide, social and cultural discriminatory practices, and violence against women have curtailed women's choices and freedom. The impact of the elimination of girl children and strong son preference has deprived women of their economic entitlements. The case study is of particular interest as it is undertaken in Usilampatti taluk in Tamil Nadu, India, which is notorious for the practice of female foeticide and infanticide leading to low sex ratio. This chapter is an attempt to identify how rural women who have escaped femicide negotiate with gender asymmetry, reorganize the power relations within the family and market structure, manage economic resources, and emerge as independent leaders both in the private and public domains.

This study aims to identify efforts to protect the state's economic security through the criminal justice system in the case of nickel mining in Malapulu Block, Kabaena Island, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. The Supreme Court has decided the case with decision number 2633 K/Pid/Sus/2018. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach through analysis of the description of the prosecutor's indictment and the judge's decision. The results obtained in the study show that the KPK Prosecutor made a mistake by withdrawing the appeal that had been made. This condition results in the lack of consideration made by judges in decision making. Secondly, legal experts do not provide a difference in the meaning of economic and financial losses for the state in judex factie and judex jurist. Third, the indictment by the public prosecutor has not described the form of crime committed as an extraordinary crime. Fourth, there is negligence in the corporate sentence.

Turbulent environment is causing increasing risk and uncertainty affecting the functioning of enterprises. Therefore, the need for strengthening their economic security is of basic importance to them. The goal of this paper is to present the understanding of economic security of enterprises from the perspective of enterprises situated in urban technology parks. The topic is relevant and has not been widely discussed yet, particularly within the analysed context of local economic security. To accomplish this goal, the research uses the case study method to analyse Lublin Science and Technology Park (LSTP) and its local environment of the city of Lublin. The study is based on standardised questionnaire directed to enterprises located in LSTP. Empirical studies referring to perception of economic security of enterprises are based on information gained from enterprises located in Lublin with the status of tenants of LPNT, which are used as a base for a case study. The study confirms that location in a technology park which is innovative city’s space has a positive impact on economic security of enterprises. It also confirms the impact of the city on economic security of enterprises as city’s space users. It is attributable both to new enterprises located in the technology park, as well as enterprises relocated there from other areas of the city.

“Producing and Performing Schoolgirlhood,” explores the embrace of girls’ education in the case-study communities by showing how girl-effects logic is localized through Kenyan gender and education policy and then produced and performed in local communities. Although participants had never heard of “the girl-effects dividend” per se, strong faith in girls’ education to create positive social and economic “ripple effects” for individual girls, families, their communities, and Kenya as a nation saturated their perceptions of education as a pathway to development. The chapter shows how Maasai mothers’ and teachers’ expectations for increased household economic security and community advancement worked to shape schoolgirlhood as a normative category and how schoolgirls worked hard to perform the attitudes, attributes, and actions expected for schoolgirls.
