В сучасному світі агресивна політика рф не тільки в Україні, але й на теренах країн всього колишнього СРСР і навіть країн Східної Європи та Близького Сходу сильно гальмує процеси трансформації командно-адміністративної системи управління економікою до системи чистого ринку. Зменшення ролі рф на Євразійському континенті та обмеження впливу рф на колишній соцтабір може суттєво прискорити економічну трансформацію та встановлення на континенті нового порядку в рамках ринкового діалогу між Європою і Азією, без агресивних амбіцій того утворення, що залишилось від СРСР, і тепер носить назву рф. Затримка діалогу на основні вільного ринку в Євразії призводить до зниження економічного потенціалу континенту, через що свій потенціал зростання втрачають, насамперед, Європейський союз та Китай.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in education through learning analytics, adaptive learning systems, automated feedback, proctoring, student support chatbots, and generative AI tools, with implications for how decisions are justified and how responsibility is distributed. The paper aims to articulate domain-specific ethical AI principles for education that protect learner rights, reinforce equity, and preserve the integrity of assessment while enabling responsible innovation. A structured narrative review and normative synthesis are used to integrate AI ethics and governance guidance with AI-in-education research, then translate these insights into implementable principles and lifecycle governance mechanisms. The analysis shows that generic AI ethics statements are insufficient without pedagogical grounding, because educational quality depends on developmental, relational, and legitimacy conditions that are not captured by technical metrics alone. The resulting framework prioritizes human-centered educational benefit, learner agency with meaningful oversight, fairness and inclusion, privacy and data minimization, transparency proportional to decision impact, safety and well-being protections, academic integrity by design, and accountability with remedy in high-impact uses. Ethical AI in education requires institutional governance that connects values to procurement, deployment, classroom practice, monitoring, and evaluation across the AI lifecycle. Future work should strengthen measurement frameworks and empirical evidence for safeguarded AI use in high-stakes contexts, and examine implementation capacity in procurement, training, and post-deployment monitoring.

Higher education institutions function as complex data ecosystems that simultaneously act as data holders, data users, and data intermediaries across teaching, research, and administration. This complexity makes EU data governance and responsible AI directly relevant to universities because compliance increasingly depends on organisational capability linked to fundamental rights protection, cybersecurity resilience, and market integrity. Sector scale amplifies risk because routine administrative errors, biased automated decisions, or weak access control can produce cumulative harm and erode institutional trust. The objective of this abstract is to formulate a compliance–capability framework that aligns EU data governance instruments with AI ethics and responsible digitalisation requirements and translates them into implementable institutional mechanisms. The study applies qualitative policy and legal analysis through doctrinal mapping of the EU regulatory stack relevant to universities, including the GDPR, the Data Governance Act, the Data Act, and the AI Act. It synthesises trustworthy AI ethics frameworks and integrates descriptive indicators on cross-border mobility, digital skills, and cyber risk to support risk-based governance design. Criteria-based institutional design reasoning is used to connect legal duties to governance roles, evidence artefacts, and monitoring indicators across the data and AI lifecycle. Results show that universities face overlapping duties because a single workflow may combine personal data processing, research data sharing, learning analytics, and AI-supported decision support. The GDPR remains foundational, while the Data Governance Act structures trusted reuse, the Data Act addresses fair access, and the AI Act introduces risk-based transparency, oversight, and AI literacy expectations. Further research should test interoperability models for research data sharing and measure how maturity in training and oversight reduces rights violations and incident rates.

Purpose: To identify the key factors influencing the digital integration of European Union member states, with a focus on the development of the Digital Single Market (DSM) and the level of digital maturity as measured by the DESI index. Methodology/approach: The study employs correlation analysis, multifactor regression modeling, and logical generalization. Official statistical data from Eurostat and DESI country reports were used to assess the influence of ICT sector share in GDP, the proportion of ICT specialists in employment, broadband internet coverage, and the level of e-commerce. Findings: The results show that human capital indicators – particularly the share of ICT specialists and the population’s basic digital skills – have the most significant impact on digital integration. Despite the harmonization of digital strategies, notable structural asymmetries persist across EU countries, stemming from unequal access to digital resources and varying levels of institutional preparedness. The study emphasizes that the success of the Digital Europe programme largely depends on its capacity to mobilize transnational investments and support cross-border digital cooperation. Originality/value: This research provides an evidence-based understanding of the structural challenges within EU digital integration. It offers policy-relevant insights into shifting from regulatory unification toward human capital development and institutional coordination, contributing to the design of more effective EU-wide digital strategies.

The authors of the scientific monograph concluded that sustainable development can be effectively achieved only within an integrated paradigm that ensures the systemic unity of economic efficiency, social justice, and environmental balance. The findings demonstrate that the harmonization of economic, social, and environmental objectives enhances the resilience of socio-economic systems, supports inclusive growth, and creates the preconditions for intergenerational equity. Basic research focuses on the conceptualization and theoretical substantiation of the integrated paradigm of sustainable development, including the identification of its core principles, structural components, and interrelationships between economic efficiency, social justice, and environmental balance. The results of the study can be used in the development and improvement of public policies, national and regional sustainable development strategies, and regulatory frameworks aimed at balancing economic, social, and environmental objectives. They may also be applied in corporate governance and strategic management to integrate sustainability principles into business models, as well as in academic and educational activities for teaching and further research in the fields of sustainable development, economics, public administration, and environmental management.

The paper examines the role of marketing distribution and sales policy as a key subsystem of economic security of the enterprise.

The study aims to conceptualise a model for managing natural resource potential that fosters both sustainable economic development and national security, using Ukraine as a primary case study. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the paper integrates national and international data on GDP, extraction and consumption of natural resources, resource rents, and security threat indices. Correlation analysis was conducted across 22 countries, alongside an in-depth examination of Ukraine’s energy and mineral resource dynamics from 2017 to 2023. The study identifies a strong positive relationship between economic growth and the share of resource rent in GDP across most countries, while also revealing Ukraine’s inefficient use of coal and energy resources, and a shifting correlation between security threats and economic performance pre- and post-war. Based on these findings, a conceptual model is proposed that emphasises the need for program-targeted and project-based governance, resource capitalisation, and institutional reform to enhance resilience and economic sovereignty.

На процес інтеграції України до ЄС є попит не лише в Україні, яка веде війну з рф і здійснює ефективний супротив відтворенню колишнього СРСР. Такий попит є і з боку ЄС. Офіційна Москва втягує до процесу протидії поверненню СРСР весь європейський континент. З позиції безпеки європейського континенту нівелювати або обмежити вплив війни в Україні за межі України неможливо без нанесення військової, економічної, фінансової та дипломатичної поразки рф. Втім, для вироблення ефективних рецептів протидії впливу агресії рф на ЄС потрібно детально дослідити окремі аспекти такого впливу на фінансову та економічну складову Європи. Ще у 2024 р. почав прослідковуватись прозорий ланцюжок зв’язку між війною в Україні, зростанням оборонних бюджетів в Європі, погіршенням соціально-економічних умов в країнах ЄС та початком зміни політичної влади в деяких європейських країнах. Зростання попиту на гроші для оборонного бюджету змінило картину системи державних фінансів країн ЄС та підвищило попит на позики з боку урядів ЄС, а значить і вартість таких позик, що створило додаткові ризики для бюджетної системи та національної безпеки цих країн.

The article substantiates the urgency of strengthening financial and digital literacy among Polish youth in the context of rapid digitalization, the diffusion of BNPL products, and rising household arrears. It distinguishes between conventional financial literacy and its digital dimension and frames a strategy-oriented inquiry that links competencies to decision points in real interfaces. The aim of the article is to substantiate the necessity of developing a comprehensive strategy for enhancing financial and digital literacy among youth in Poland, to identify the key problem areas that hinder the effective transfer of knowledge into practical behavior, and to outline strategic directions for curriculum design, digital safeguards, and equity-oriented monitoring. A structured desk review integrates Polish empirical evidence with competence descriptors for children and youth. Findings are mapped to four core domains (money and transactions; planning and managing finances; risk and reward; financial landscape) plus a transversal digital axis and are translated into performance tasks and indicators that allow disaggregation by educational track and locality. The article confirms comparatively solid conceptual knowledge alongside weak behavioral transfer, particularly in budgeting under income variability, building an emergency buffer, and interpreting the total cost of credit; in the digital sphere, binding constraints concern phishing resilience, permissions/data-consent management, provider verification, and interface navigation. Persistent gaps by school track and locality justify differentiated curricular carriers. These findings inform a strategy built on curriculum integration, digital-safety training, and “just-in-time” market tools (standardized total-cost calculators, BNPL checklists, aggregate-debt warnings), supported by partnerships with regulators and industry and by an annual Youth FDL Scorecard. Pairing practice-oriented instruction with embedded digital safeguards can translate knowledge into measurable behavior and reduce equity gaps. The article sets out concrete three-year targets and a scorecard architecture aligned with European frameworks to ensure transparent monitoring and continuous improvement.

This article undertakes an examination of the escalating role assumed by Private Military Companies (PMCs) within the matrix of contemporary conflicts, positing that their proliferation—most notably the ascendancy of state-proxy models exemplified by the Wagner Group—constitutes an exploitation of a critical vacuum within the corpus of international law. Effectuated through a comparative analysis of PMC operations across Iraq, Ukraine, Syria, and Africa, this paper demonstrates the mechanisms by which such entities precipitate an erosion of state sovereignty, present a formidable challenge to the tenets of international humanitarian law (IHL), and engender systemic lacunae in accountability. Our findings indicate that extant regulatory frameworks, inclusive of the Montreux Document and the International Code of Conduct (ICoCA), are possessed of an inherent insufficiency for addressing the geopolitical instrumentality characteristic of modern PMCs. The article culminates in the proposal of a binding UN Convention on Private Military and Security Activities, wherein a four-pillar governance model is outlined with the objective of re-establishing state responsibility, guaranteeing accountability, and regulating the ongoing privatization of warfare.

The purpose of the article is to study the opportunities for resuming the economic growth of economies, considering the impact of global risks on its dynamics. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic growth dynamics of over 200 countries from 1961 to 2023, revealing a general trend of declining growth rates, which is confirmed by the data of observations of GDP dynamics in the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Albania, Ukraine, Mongolia, China, Paraguay, Indonesia, and Sudan. It is defined that these trends are caused by the negative impact of global risks on the dynamics of economic growth of world countries. A contemporary map of the interconnections of categories and types of global risks is presented, illustrating the intertwining of geopolitical, economic, social, environmental, and technological risks. A selection of the five most influential global risks that affected the economic downturn of the world economy from 2006 to 2023 has been formed through logical-structural analysis and generalization method, demonstrating the predominant influence of economic and environmental factors. The analysis of the unique causes of economic downturn under the influence of global risks, conducted using the Ishikawa diagram, allowed to include a set of economic, environmental, social, geopolitical, technological, and other causes. The proposed political-legal, market, organizational-economic, and financial-investment mechanisms for accelerating economic recovery define the priority directions for restoring economic growth, considering the impact of global risks. The provided suggestions have practical significance for the elaboration of economic development strategies for countries to restore economic growth.

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of cryptocurrencies on the economic and environmental security of the G7 countries, exploring both the potential risks and prospects. The study focuses on the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, offering a detailed exploration of the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies in these nations. Despite the benefits such as enhanced financial inclusion and cross-border transaction efficiency, cryptocurrencies pose significant challenges, including their use in illicit activities like money laundering and terrorism financing. The research critically examines the substantial energy consumption associated with certain cryptocurrency mining processes, particularly Proof-of-Work mechanisms, and their consequent environmental impacts, including carbon emissions, electronic waste, and air pollution. It investigates the corresponding energy policies and regulatory responses emerging within the G7 to address these concerns, alongside the development of more energy-efficient alternatives like Proof-of-Stake and the push for renewable energy in mining. The article critically examines these dual aspects, highlighting the measures implemented by regulators and policymakers to mitigate risks. It also delves into the evolving landscape of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and their potential role in enhancing financial system efficiency and security, including considerations for their energy footprint. The study employs a robust methodological framework, combining statistical analysis of market trends, case studies, and policy analysis to provide a balanced view of the current state and future trajectory of cryptocurrencies in the G7 countries. By offering a nuanced understanding of both the opportunities and threats posed by digital currencies, including their energy and environmental dimensions, this article contributes to the ongoing discourse on their integration into global financial systems and their implications for sustainable economic security.

This article examines the conceptualization and application of climate change as a "threat multiplier" in global security discourse. Originating within the U.S. national security community, the term describes how the physical impacts of climate change interact with and exacerbate pre-existing social, economic, and political vulnerabilities, thereby multiplying threats to peace and stability. While the framework has been instrumental in placing climate change on the security agenda, it is also critiqued for potentially constraining policy responses to a reactive, management-oriented posture rather than promoting transformative change. This study employs a qualitative, comparative case study methodology to deconstruct the threat multiplier effect through its cascading impacts. It first analyzes the first-order impact of climate change on critical resources, with a focus on water stress in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and food insecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. It then investigates the second-order human consequence of climate-induced migration, examining patterns in the Sahel, Bangladesh, and Central America, and highlighting the profound legal and geopolitical challenges posed by the lack of international protection for "climate refugees." Finally, through in-depth case studies of Syria and Sudan, the article analyzes how these combined pressures can culminate in the third-order outcome of political instability and violent conflict. The analysis reveals that governance is the critical mediating variable determining whether climate stress leads to instability. The article concludes by assessing the policy responses of the United Nations, European Union, and the United States, identifying key gaps, and advocating for an integrated policy framework that merges climate adaptation, development, and peacebuilding to address the multifaceted nature of climate-related security risks.

In today’s globally interconnected and politically unstable environment, the concept of enterprise economic security has become a strategic priority for firms facing increasingly unpredictable challenges. This article addresses the need for a comprehensive framework that allows enterprises to ensure resilience, continuity, and competitiveness amid political disruptions such as sanctions, trade conflicts, regulatory shifts, and geopolitical tensions. The objective of the study is to explore how economic security policy can be institutionalized at the enterprise level, serving as a foundation for adaptive strategy and sustainable value creation. The research employs a multi-method qualitative design, combining theoretical synthesis, case study analysis, and comparative modeling. The conceptual foundation integrates insights from strategic management, political economy, and systems theory to construct a multidimensional policy architecture. Empirical evidence is drawn from case studies of politically induced business disruptions, including the Russian sanctions regime, Brexit, COVID-19 emergency regulations, Venezuela’s nationalizations, and the U.S.–China trade war. A comparative framework is developed to classify political and economic threats and match them with relevant enterprise adaptation strategies. The results reveal that political dynamics such as lobbying, regulatory volatility, and public–private interdependence are critical determinants of economic resilience. Enterprises that institutionalize political intelligence, scenario planning, compliance flexibility, and ethical governance are more capable of mitigating shocks and capitalizing on emergent opportunities. The findings highlight that economic security is not merely a risk management concern but a strategic imperative embedded in core decisionmaking. This article contributes both to academic scholarship and managerial practice by offering an integrated model of enterprise economic security policy. Its practical value lies in providing corporate leaders with tools to navigate politically volatile environments without sacrificing strategic clarity or institutional integrity. The proposed framework supports evidence-based decision-making, strengthens adaptive governance, and enhances enterprise agility in the face of systemic uncertainty.

The article deals with a new financial tool of attracting capital, known as Initial Coin Offering (ICO). In conditions of reduced banking lending and difficult access to finance for SMEs, ICO is viewed to be one of the possible ways to access capital. It considers the main advantages and disadvantages of ICO performance, including its typical features, challenges and regulatory approaches to tax regulation, cybersecurity. The authors of the article determine stages of the ICO mechanism, identifying potential risks and ways to mitigate them, focusing primarily on the need to control and regulate ICO projects. The authors identify the main types of ICO funding, including hybrid and pure funding. The research contains an analysis of ICO trends and their duration for the period of 2013-2017. The capital raised through ICO performance over the period of 2013-2017 is analysed, and determination of the exponential trend line showing the level of its approximation is determined. The study covers the territorial distribution of ICO, in which the top positions regarding the amount of capital raised by ICO are attributed to the USA and EU member states. The existence of ICO regulation in European countries, such as Switzerland and UK, was defined positive in terms of further development of the relevant regulation in the financial market. The article considers the best ICO practices in EU member states. To mitigate risks relating to ICO performance and to increase the level of investment, it would be reasonable to create regulatory rules in every country where cases of ICO performance are reported, based on the practice of the mentioned European countries. The authors give recommendations regarding ICO regulation in Ukraine, taking into consideration the relevant European experience.

Today, we observe the process of the constant expansion of the list of countries using AI in order to ensure the state of security, although depending on the system in force in them, its intensity and depth of interference in the sphere of rights and freedoms of an individual are different. The purpose of this article is to define what is AI, which is applicable in the area of state security, and to indicate the prospects for the development of AI. The historical method was used as the leading one in the research process, supported by the comparative method and the dogmatic method.

The article presents the results of the analysis of business philosophy changes under the influence of COVID-19 in the context of sustainable development. The aim of the article is to study the change in the philosophy of doing business under the influence of COVID-19 consequences and to highlight the main features of the philosophy and vectors of development. In the process of describing the business philosophy, the authors proposed an approach based on the criteria of sustainable development. The methodological basis of the study were methods of comparison, generalisation, analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction, and expert evaluation. Characterisation of certain business philosophies was based on open public information on certain sectors of the economy, according to GICS. This approach enabled international comparability of research results. The authors found that the business philosophy has changed under the influence of COVID-19 and received an ecological, socio-psychological focus. Analysis of business philosophies allowed us to identify new slogans in the philosophy of generalised enterprises by sectors of the economy (industrial and consumer). The hypothesis that the business philosophy should be simple and customer-oriented has been confirmed. At the heart of this philosophy are social responsibility, economic aspects, corporate culture, and the goals of sustainable development.
