Methodology of management bodies during the planning of border operations to counter illegal activities at the state border

Serhii Voronyi, Anatolii Mysyk — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0200

Purpose: to improve the quality of planning of border operations due to the improvement of the methodology of the management bodies of the State Border Service of Ukraine, which ensures the assessment of the predicted effectiveness and efficiency of the activities.

Design/Method/Approach (only for empirical papers): the basis of the improved methodology of the management bodies of the SBGSU during the planning of border operations is the assessment of their effectiveness and efficiency. The methodology is based on a combination of planning techniques based on risk analysis and assessment of capabilities to counter threats.

Findings: the methodology of the SBGSU management bodies during the planning of border operations has been improved and methodical recommendations have been provided for their planning in the areas of the state border where hostilities are not taking place.

Theoretical implications (if applicable): the methodology of the study of the problems of state border protection received further development. A synergistic effect was obtained from the combination of the application of the planning methodology based on the capabilities to counter threats and the risk analysis methodology to solve management problems in the field of protection and protection of the state border.

Originality/Value: the novelty of the proposed approach consists in establishing a connection between the level of threats of illegal activity and the capabilities of the State Security Service to perform the tasks of countering threats in accordance with the legally defined functions.

Causes and consequences of local antı-terrorısm measures ın the Karabakh economıc zone of Azerbaıjan

Zafar Najafov — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0200

Purpose: is to analyze the causes of asymmetry between criminal ethnic demands and national state interests, the potential of internationalization and effective preventive measures.

Method: In this research work, the author preferred two methods: structural-functional and processual-dynamic. The structural-functional method clarifies the main elements of interaction in conflict conditions and the specific roles of each of them. Components related to the conflict: subject, causes, stages, participants, regulation, etc. of the conflict. constitutes the structure of the conflict. The role of those structural elements is considered their function.

Findings: The fight against dangerous and infectious diseases such as ethnic-separatism is considered to be a very effective way both from the point of view of security and from the point of view of not deepening the crisis of the international legal institution.

Theoretical implications: Ethno-separatism has become the object of big geopolitical games and mercantilist interests of organized criminal groups in the modern world. It is impossible to treat it as an internal problem of the state. The trend of ethnic-separatism becoming a hybridized threat is taking shape.

Practical implications: Practitioners should conclude from this article that dual approaches to the dangerous consequences of ethno-separatism such as secession, dangerous chaotic scenarios in polyethnic regions and military interventions under the rights of national minorities are inadmissible. Ethno-separatism cannot promote the principle of indivisibility of security.

Value: The main innovation in this article is to reveal the association of Armenian ethnic-separatism with destructive and dangerous military-political plans that are against international law. It is justified that the one-day local anti-terrorist measures carried out by Azerbaijan serve to strengthen national sovereignty and international law, to cleanse the region of criminal elements and to ensure the security of international oil and gas projects connecting the South Caucasus with Europe.

Research limitations: One-day local anti-terror measures against Armenian ethnic-separatism within the framework of international laws can be a retrospective scenario or regulation model for long-term unresolved conflicts in poly-ethnic regions.
