Prispevek se ukvarja z vprašanjem sodobnega vojskovanja. Narava vojne se v času ne spreminja, spreminjajo pa se oblike in metode, s katerimi se vojne vodijo. V zadnjem času je moderno govoriti o hibridnem vojskovanju, kako ga kdo pojmuje, pa je zelo različno in odvisno od avtorjev. Članek poskuša pokazati, da pod pojmom hibridnega vojskovanja ne najdemo velikih revolucionarnih sprememb v oblikah in metodah vojskovanja in da je za zmago v sodobnem spopadu še vedno zelo relevanten koncept združenega bojevanja rodov, ki pa ga je treba razumeti v okviru sodobnega vojskovališča, katerega glavni značilnosti sta boj v informacijskem prostoru in »hibridnost«. Članek podrobneje pogleda tudi na strukturo enot taktične ravni SV, in sicer z vidika združenega bojevanja rodov in delovanja na hibridnem vojskovališču. The article deals with the problems of modern warfare. The nature of war does not change through time; what changes is the ways and methods of conducting it. Lately, it has been popular to talk about hybrid warfare, but its perceptions vary significantly according to authors. The aim of the article is to show that the term hybrid warfare does not bring anything revolutionary to the ways and methods of warfare and that today, the concept of combined arms is still very relevant for winning a contemporary conflict. However, it has to be perceived from the perspective of a contemporary battlefield whose main characteristics are cyber warfare and its hybrid nature. The article also discusses in detail the structure of the Slovenian Armed Forces’ tactical level in terms of combined arms and »hybrid« warfare.

Subject. This article analyzes the current level and prospects for the digitalization of the Russian economy as a whole, depending on investments in the digital economy and individual economic sectors of the regions. Objectives. The article aims to investigate the financial support of regional projects and assess the results of digitalization in the regions of the Volga Federal District. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of assembling, analyzing, and generalizing of the regional project passport data. Results. The article presents the results of the regions' digital development, a summary assessment of the volume and structure of the planned financial investments in the digital development of the Volga Federal District entities, and identifies their features, general and distinctive characteristics by region, digitalization area, and source of funds. Conclusions and Relevance. All the regions under study have developed the passports of regional projects to digitalize the economy and are increasing their digital potential with varying degrees of activity. The financial support of projects differs significantly in volume and structure of financing, depending on the financial capabilities of a particular region and the strategic objectives set. The findings can be used in further research to assess the financial components of the digital economy and are of interest to scientists, undergraduates, and graduate students whose research is related to the digital economics, as well as specialists in regions involved in the implementation of regional projects.

Subject. This article deals with the issues relating to improving integrated reporting in terms of dovetailing strategic objectives with capital changes. Objectives. The article aims to develop a system of indicators for disclosure of capital types in integrated reporting of electricity generating companies, as well as recommendations aimed at implementing the fundamental concepts and guiding principles of integrated reporting. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, and abstraction. As a case study, we conduct a comparative analysis of the disclosure of six types of capital by the largest electricity generating companies, namely PAO Inter RAO, AO Rosenergoatom and PAO RusHydro. Results. The article formulates proposals for disclosure of capital information to address such a lack of accountability as a contradiction to the principle of coherence. It proposes a system of indicators (core and additional) for disclosure of six types of capital by electricity generating companies. Conclusions. A significant reporting problem is the lack of correlation between key strategic objectives and capital changes. The formulated recommendations for disclosure of capital information can help solve this problem, and increase the attractiveness of the integrated report for capital providers.

Drone Warfare

As the incumbent Turkish administration strives to pursue more aspiring goals in foreign affairs, Turkey’s military policy is fast developing in line with this vision. The nation’s defense technological and industrial base can now produce various conventional weaponry. Of these, without a doubt, Turkey’s drone warfare assets have garnered the utmost attention among the international strategic community. In tandem, the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) have gradually gained an expeditionary posture with forward deployments across a broad axis, ranging from the Horn of Africa to the Gulf and the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, the military’s doctrinal order of battle has been transforming to address the unfolding hybrid warfare challenges in Ankara’s hinterland. Turkey’s proxy warfare capabilities have also registered an uptrend in this respect. Nevertheless, Ankara will have to deal with certain limitations in key segments, particularly 5th generation aircraft and strategic weapon systems which, together, represent a severe intra-war deterrence gap in Turkey’s defense posture. The Turkish administration will have to address this specific shortfall given the problematic threat landscape at the nation’s Middle Eastern doorstep. This study covers two interrelated strategic topics regarding Turkey’s national military capacity in the 21st century: its defense technological and industrial base (DTIB) and its military policy, both currently characterized by a burgeoning assertiveness.

Poverty Indicators

The presented study comparatively analyzes indicators of the level of poverty and social inequality in Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, and the European Union (EU) as a criterion of national economic security.Aim. The study aims to examine existing approaches to determining the level of poverty and its dynamics and to consider suggestions for improving this methodology.Tasks. The authors examine and comparatively analyze approaches and methods for determining the level of poverty and its dynamics in the European Union and the CIS countries that are not members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).Methods. This study uses the methods of systems analysis, evolutionary-institutional theory, and historical approach.Results. Determining the level of poverty based on the number of citizens with incomes below the subsistence level can lead to misrepresentation of the actual state of this phenomenon. Calculation of poverty indicators based on consumer spending provides more accurate data on the level of poverty in a country where a significant share of the population’s income is generated by remittances from individuals living abroad, which are not reflected in official income statistics. A comparative analysis of poverty dynamics shows that in 2013 the level of poverty in all four examined countries decreased compared to 2006. Poverty dynamics in Russia and Belarus is more synchronized than in Ukraine and Moldova. A common methodology for calculating the level of poverty in all EU countries makes it possible to conduct a more thorough comparative analysis of poverty dynamics and to formulate more accurate recommendations in the field of anti-poverty policies. Based on the identified poverty dynamics in the EU and Russia, it is highly possible that strategic objectives on poverty reduction in the European Union and Russia will not be completed.Conclusions. To exclude the possibility of interested authorities influencing the dynamics of the poverty indicator by changing its threshold values depending on the current economic or political situation, it is necessary to switch to comprehensive assessment of this indicator in Russia. For comparative cross-country data analysis, it is advisable to consider the possibility of creating a Eurasian Statistics Service within the EAEU that would collect statistics and standardize statistical methods among the EAEU member states.
