Sport tourism has experienced considerable growth in the last decades, either from the sport events perspective or considering an active sport tourism approach. Therefore, some emergent market niches like surf tourism have been developed in numerous coastal destinations to attract sustainability-sensitive tourists due to the ongoing environmental challenges and the socio-economic crisis. Cape Town is positioned in a prominent place in terms of competitiveness, with a considerable variety of beaches and surf spots facing multiple issues. The aim of this study is to try to identify the most competitive beaches and subdistricts in terms of sustainability and to suggest criteria for surf-tourism-related indicators to obtain an overview about this space, using weighting indicators, and applying geography and political economy lenses. The results reveal that Strand, Table View, and Surfers’ Corner are the most competitive beaches. Additionally, beaches located in some underprivileged areas such as Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha are potentially interesting from a socio-economic development point of view, although they show a lack of accommodation infrastructures. These results seem to indicate that those areas should be closely monitored, and destination managers should focus their attention and finance there to obtain a more sustainable surf tourism development.

Underestimation of diagnostics and monitoring of recognition of corruption threats to national economic security in the context of an economic crisis may negatively affect the level of life support of citizens.

Against the backdrop of the economic crisis that began in 2008 and the rise of populist parties, a new body of research has used interwar political developments to warn that even long-established Western democracies are fragile. We challenge this interwar analogy based on the fact that a relatively large number of interwar democracies were able to survive the recurrent crises of the 1920s and 1930s. The main aim of this book is to understand the striking resilience of these democracies, and how they differed from the many democracies that broke down in the same period. Previous theoretical accounts, which can be divided into structuralist, elitist, associational, and performance-based perspectives, do not adequately explain this variation. We advance an explanation that nests an associational perspective in a structuralist perspective. The model centres on democratic legacies and strong associational landscapes (i.e. vibrant civil societies and party institutionalization). These factors are rooted in a set of structural conditions associated with socio-economic development and state- and nation-building processes. Our empirical strategy consists of a combination of systematic comparisons of all interwar democratic spells and in-depth case-studies.

Among the many influential factors on the construction of a modern socio-economic system of investment, institutional factors, cluster associations and the development of information systems as complex polysystemic socio-economic entities. It is theoretically substantiated that clusters can be considered a new type of production and economic model, built on the interaction and cooperation of industrial, commercial enterprises, financial and credit and educational and scientific institutions. It is determined that in recent decades, many countries around the world are developing cluster strategies aimed at integrating financial and intellectual capital and realizing the competitive advantages of the national economy. The importance of transformations in the cultural and ideological sphere, which involve changes in the values of public consciousness, the formation of a new paradigm of humanitarian development, which is to abandon the ideology of consumption and affirm new values to balance production and demand. Public policy instruments should be aimed at removing obstacles to the formation of clusters, improving infrastructure, simplifying the mechanism for attracting sources of funding and foreign investment, and removing restrictions on the introduction of innovations. It is a comprehensive approach to solving the problems outlined at the state level that will be the key to successful modernization of Ukraine's economy and building its own model of economic growth. The key areas for improving the efficiency of management of socioeconomic processes in Ukraine, which will ensure the implementation of the model of stabilization and economic growth of the country in the near future.

The article reflects the results of a study of the formation of transnational values during the period of rethinking the value orientations of society in the era of globalization and a new model of transnational identity. The article presents comparisons and parallels that reveal transnational values. It is shown that against the background of the aggravation of the crisis in relations between the Western and Russian worlds and complications of national socio-economic development associated with the consequences of the pandemic, the transition to a rethinking of the value picture of the world is especially relevant. The identification of transnational values contributes to the determination of transnational priorities and transnational identity that replace the national idea in a globalized community.

The paper analyzes the socio-economic policy of Belarus in the first half of the 1990s in the process of its transition to market economy, and highlights the peculiarities of the economic crisis in this period. The methodology of work is a set of scientific principles, general scientific and special historical methods, as well as interdisciplinary and comprehensive approaches to the historical discourse of socio-economic history of Belarus based on the integral use of sources. Scientific novelty. It is the first time this issue is considered in Ukrainian historiography. Conclusions. It is noted that Belarus had to go through a rather difficult path in the first half of the 1990 s. It was caused by the transformational processes associated with the collapse of the USSR, the country's transition from a command-and-control system to market economic conditions, and took place within a structural economic crisis that affected all spheres of economic life. The market reforms of 1992–1994 (liberalization of economic life, privatization, support of entrepreneurship, development of competition) contributed to the formation of basic market mechanisms and institutions, but the Belarusian economy has failed to adapt to transitional market realities. At the same time, it was in the late 1980 s and early 1990s that the historical preconditions were formed for the creation of the now commonly accepted Belarusian model of socio-economic development, which came into existence in the second half of the 1990 s.
