METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF THE PROCESS OF SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION OF THE AGRARIAN ECONOMY SECTOR

Abstract

Purpose. The aim of the article is generalization of methodological principles, approaches, methods and techniques of research of systematic transformation of agrarian sector of economy. Methodology of research. General and special methods of research are used in the course of the research, in particular: dialectics and scientific abstraction – in determining the methodological basis for the study of the process of systematic transformation of the agrarian sector of the economy and in carrying out theoretical generalizations and forming conclusions; analysis and synthesis – when considering the essence of the process of transformation of the agrarian sector of the economy. Findings. Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of transformation of the agrarian sector of the economy, based on considering it not as some unique phenomenon, but as a phenomenon directly related to the process of global development, are outlined. The need to expand the list of theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of transformation of the agrarian sector of the economy by supplementing it with a network approach is emphasized. The conditions for increasing the efficiency of system transformations are concretized. Originality. The expediency of exploring the transformation of the agrarian sector of the economy based on the network approach is substantiated, which allows to consider the transformation from an interdisciplinary point of view, and therefore provides the opportunity to operate the data at different levels of research (from nano- to mega-level) and to effectively construct units of analysis, ensuring the continuity of data and combining them without loss of information. Practical value. The main provisions of this study can be used in the process of transformation of the agricultural sector of the economy.
