Agricultural Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is sometimes seen as a glimmer of hope which may bring about some contribution towards improving economic dynamics and performance, specifically in the creation of employment by young people, in general, with further educational training, greater flexibility and who are better prepared for working with new technologies. However, entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector is, in certain circumstances, viewed as being something incompatible or, at least, difficult to implement. More scientific studies in these fields could provide interesting contributions on the road to highlighting new ideas inside the farming sector. In this framework, the objective of this study is to explore the entrepreneurship dimensions within the European Union agriculture towards a more sustainable sector. In fact, without an economic dimension in farm management, its sustainability in the medium and long run may be compromised, increasing the abandonment of farming, namely in more disadvantaged regions. For this, the literature which is available on the platform Web of Science relating to the following three topics was initially analysed: entrepreneurship, agriculture, and the European Union. This literature was clustered through the VOSviewer software, an interesting tool for performing bibliometric analysis. Secondly, statistical information related to European Union agricultural entrepreneurship considering empirical approaches was also explored. The analysis carried out shows that the realities across European Union countries are, in fact, different, where the instruments from the common agricultural policies, for example, may play a crucial role in promoting more farming entrepreneurship in a more sustainable way.

Hybrid Threats

The article discusses and analyses the terminology and gives a description of hybrid threats. Particular emphasis is placed on their diversity, variability and the problematic nature of  methods used by  an  aggressor in  order to  destabilise the social, political and economic environments against which the hostile activities are targeted. The areas which may be under the influence of hybrid threats have been indicated and many aspects of these threats’ influence on a contemporary countries’ functioning have also been underlined. The main focus of hybrid threats’ considerations is put in the context of the European Union. The related strategic documents have been analysed and the directions of action defined in them, which may prevent or neutralise the consequences of hybrid threats, have been described, as well. Particular attention has been paid to the analysis of the ”Joint Framework on countering hybrid threats”, the strategic document which acts as a map for joint anti-hybrid activities. The directions of action defined in it may, in the author’s opinion, contribute to building up resistance to hybrid threats. Particularly legitimate are activities which aim at providing an appropriate level of situational knowledge, as well as effective exchange of intelligence information among the European Union’s institutions and its member states. What is more, developing the analytical potential and the transfer of knowledge of hybrid threats, which is carried out by joint centres of excellence, may result in a situation where the influence of these threats on the social, political and economic dimension of the member states’ functioning is smaller. Comparisons between the common strategic solutions to hybrid threats and other instruments of the European Union relating to the internal security (civil protection, solidarity clause) have been made in the article. The summary discusses the directions of antihybrid strategic activities, among which developing the awareness of threats and strengthening the social resilience to hybrid threats have been given special emphasis.

The Romanian integration into the European Union – and also at its technological standards – means among others the adoption and implementation of transforming measures into the conventional agriculture. Thus the farmers should apply certain technologies to enable them to obtain good productions under specific conditions of the ecoeconomy and ecosanogenesis. The implementation of such a sustainable agriculture system for Romania is discussed into this article.

This article examines the European Union’s (EU) current negotiations of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) with Thailand. It asks why the EU has entered into the negotiation process with this remote developing economy and provides theoretical explanations for the EU’s motivations. It will give an overview of the process and discuss the issues that have emerged in the course of the negotiations and are currently pending. The article will assess the pre-negotiation phase and the obstacles during the negotiation phase that have delayed the conclusion of the process. The findings will allude to historical institutionalism and a self-devised content-context approach synthesised with William I. Zartman’s insights on negotiation theory. The article argues that despite the importance of the economic dimension of the negotiations and the general prevalence of international political economy in explaining the EU’s relations with Asia, this case reveals a complexity of variables that contest a purely economic lens and allow a theoretically eclectic and reflectivist understanding of the impediments, stimuli and of the process itself.

The European Union is currently one of the most sophisticated and comprehensively developed examples of regional economic integration. The analysis of selected strategic documents adopted and implemented on the territory of the European Union primarily focused on the economic dimension of further development of this complex and economically interconnected transnational economic complex shows, that one of the main, strategic goals are oriented on the higher economic convergence and cohesion within its internal space, as well as the full range of objectives aimed at maintaining and improving its position in the world economy. Changes in the internal and external economic environment of the European Union, often associated with a certain degree of unpredictability of their effects, determine the dynamics of economic development of the European Union and the degree of economic security achieved. The presented contribution focuses on the study of the formation of a specific model of economic security forming in the environment of the European integration area. In the context of the indicated starting points of the research, the main attention is focused on selected aspects and factors based on the possibility to identify development trends in the processes of shaping economic security within the European integration area. In the process of elaboration of the submitted professional contribution, its authors focused on the following basic research questions: How does the European Union approach the formation of economic security in its internal economic environment formed on the basis of specific national economic complexes of individual member states? Which selected factors need to be examined in the context of monitoring the development of economic security within the European integration area and to follow their development direction? Based on monitoring and predicting the possible future development of selected factors supporting the formation of economic security to deduce how the level of economic security is currently achieved by the European Union and what are the possible future trends in this area? Several methods and procedures were used in the process of processing the submitted paper. The frequency of use of individual methods and procedures was different in individual parts of the presented text. In the process of processing the outputs of the research into a comprehensive text of the submitted paper, the analysis, comparison, as well as the synthesis of collected knowledge, data and information and comprehensive and logically arranged units were most significantly used. Different types of data and data which were the result of the application of various mathematical-statistical methods and procedures, were also used in the process of processing the submitted paper. The outputs of the research of the subject of the paper can be summarised as follows. The European Union currently has the appropriate starting conditions for shaping a comprehensive model of economic security. Inwards, as well as innovations, it acts in the context of economic security as a stable economic actor with a well-developed and well-established economic environment. The economic security of the European Union, as well as other geoeconomic actors, is determined by the dynamics of the development of the global and regional economic environment. In view of the indicated dynamics of development, it will be necessary in the future for the European Union to have created economic structures capable of responding flexibly to these influences and subsequently adapting to them effectively.
