Abstract:

The concept of Security has a vital role in the study of international relations. This concept is old as human civilization. It has different meaning in different phases of history. However, there have been sea changes in the interpretation of security matters. The traditional state-centric security has transferred into modern human centric approach. But the small states are always threatened by it in different forms and nature. As a precondition for sustainable political, economic and social development, small states are always tortured by several internal and external factors. So, this article overviews about the various security challenges faced by small states.Journal of Political Science. Vol. 17, 2017, Page: 1-17

Abstract:

This article examines how the exchanges of archival and artistic practices in Central European and, more precisely, in Hungarian theatre and performance can create performative sites calling attention to the continuities and recurring reflexes of pre- and post-1989 realities. The genre of re-performance allows performance artists to comment on their own experience with the communist regimes, as well as to enact the continuing political and aesthetic potentials of past performances. In 1986, a recently founded performance group, the Collective of Natural Disasters, premiered its piece Living Space in Budapest, considered to be an iconic production in the history of Hungarian dance theatre, and earning international success. The solo performer (Yvette Bozsik) was set in a small glass box, suggesting the claustrophobic atmosphere of the 1980s in the country. In 2012, the group re-interpreted the 1986 production with considerable critical changes under the title (In)Finity. The new solo performer (Rita Góbi) was locked in a similar glass box. However, the group refashioned the main question about freedom by offering a mediatized landscape on stage where the recurring experience of claustrophobia was seen through technical innovations forming new regimes and forms of surveillance. Kornélia Deres is a Humboldt Research Fellow in the Institute of Media Culture and Theatre at the University of Cologne. Between 2015 and 2018 she was an assistant professor at Károli University (Budapest), and since 2017 has been a lecturer at ELTE University in Budapest. She is co-editor of five books and the author of Hammer for Images (2016), as well as two volumes of poetry.

Abstract:

The study investigated effects of insurgency on educational development in Borno State. Basic education is the first level of education for children at primary 1 level to basic 9 which is the junior secondary school level in Nigeria. However, achieving education for all Nigerian children, Borno state need a secured teaching and learning environment. The study examined the effect of insurgent activities such as abduction of pupils and attacks on teachers in basic schools of Borno State and its effect to the development of the education in the state. The sample for the study was 270 teachers of basic schools, selected on the basis of 10 teachers from each of the 27 local government area that constitute Borno State. The instrument for data collection was a 20 items questionnaire title: Boko Haram Insurgency and educational development Questionnaires (HIEDQ). Two research questions were formulated, data collected were converted to mean, standard deviation and used to answer the research questions. It was therefore recommended that the Nigerian government should provide security to the state. The government should show higher commitment in mobilizing the armed forces to end the insurgency in the State and provide adequate security in schools. It was further recommended that the religious leaders should preach against violence act in their respective communities.

The article reveals the problems of the contribution of small and medium-sized businesses in supporting the integrative security of socio-economic systems, shows the need to improve the efficiency of using the potential of small and medium-sized businesses, including through the accelerated inspiration of new development concepts in small and medium-sized businesses. Goal. The purpose of this article is to study and justify methodological approaches to ensuring the integrative security of the state using the potential of small and medium-sized businesses. Tasks. To consider approaches to integrated modeling of integrative security; to reveal the areas of efficiency of small and medium-sized businesses in the context of supporting integrative security; to determine the potential for the development of the contribution of small and medium-sized businesses in supporting integrative security; to form approaches to the inspiration of modern concepts of development in small and medium-sized businesses. Methodology. The methodology for studying the contribution of small and medium-sized businesses in supporting integrative security is based on a systemic and structural analysis, an evolutionary-institutional approach. Results. Approaches to integrated modeling of integrative security are formed based on the classical model of assessing «portfolio» security risks, the hyper connection model of the components of security elements and the model of using integral reconciliation of indicators. The areas of efficiency of small and medium-sized businesses in the context of ensuring integrative security are disclosed. Special attention is paid to small innovative enterprises. The potential for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in ensuring integrative security, including: the potential of an ecosystem association based on integration, – clustering and associative cooperation; outsourcing potential; competition and cooperation potential; strategic adaptation potential; diversification potential; innovative development potential. Approaches to the inspiration of modern concepts of development in small and medium-sized businesses, including managed integration, catching up and advancing modernization and innovative development, have been formed; integrated inter-level digitalization; formation of a lean economy; formation of an eco-oriented «green» economy. Conclusions. The results of the study can serve as a basis for developing strategic plans for the development of small and medium-sized businesses and state regulation in the field of ensuring integrative security at different levels of the socio-economic system.

Abstract:

Abstract Iceland is one of eight member states of the Arctic Council and claims to be the only sovereign state that is entirely located in the Arctic. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that the region has gained a priority status in Iceland’s foreign policy. The developments in the Arctic will inevitably affect the country in one way or the other. This paper is divided into three sections; the first one discusses recent internal and external developments. The second section is about three different aspects of security, traditional, human and environmental, and furthermore, discusses those types of security in Icelandic context. The last section is on Iceland’s priorities in the Arctic, which are then measured against Lassi Heininen’s policy fields or indicators, and Arctic solutions presented by Alyson Bailes. Main conclusions are that even though Iceland has been going through challenging times in the resent years, the Arctic still remains somewhat a priority area, policy wise, and the Icelandic priorities, for the most part, fit within the frameworks of Arctic solutions and the policy fields they are measured against.

Abstract:

Providing private security is considered a specific type of business service, primarily carried out by small- and medium-sized enterprises. This specific type of business complements the state services in the field of internal security. State institutions support the creation of small- and medium-sized enterprises through targeted subsidies. The principal goal of this paper is to describe the business environment within Slovakia, focusing on small and medium enterprises providing services of private security. The secondary aim of the paper is to explain the support available for such business through subsidies from public authorities. The number of enterprises that provide services of private security, along with the number of their employees, is relevant. The outputs of the paper can be used as part of the analysis of the competitive environment by subsidy applicants who plan to operate in this specific area.

Abstract:

Power system steady-state security relates to its robustness under a normal state as well as to withstanding foreseeable contingencies without interruption to customer service. In this study, a novel cellular computation network (CCN) and hierarchical cellular rule-based fuzzy system (HCRFS) based online situation awareness method regarding steady-state security was proposed. A CCN-based two-layer mechanism was applied for voltage and active power flow prediction. HCRFS block was applied after the CCN prediction block to generate the security level of the power system. The security status of the power system was visualized online through a geographic two-dimensional visualization mechanism for voltage magnitude and load flow. In order to test the performance of the proposed method, three types of neural networks were embedded in CCN cells successively to analyze the characteristics of the proposed methodology under white noise simulated small disturbance and single contingency. Results show that the proposed CCN and HCRFS combined situation awareness method could predict the system security of the power system with high accuracy under both small disturbance and contingencies.

Abstract:

In this article, we reflect on the gendered contours of young Kashmiris’ dissident practices against the Indian military occupation of the Kashmir Valley. It is largely based on ethnographic research that coincided with the launch of an ongoing, predominantly nonviolent people’s movement in which youth have played a prominent role. The article shows how university students’ and young professionals’ “small activism” is entangled in the gendered dynamics of militarization and dissent, while underlining the threat posed by “security forces” to women’s “honor” and “dignity.” In the context of widespread societal anxiety about “dishonor,” young Kashmiris’ urge to reclaim dignity at once motivates them to practice dissent and narrows the scope for female dissidents’ capacity to act upon this drive overtly. The present case suggests that recent anthropological interest in global youth cultural practices may be supplemented with a recognition of local constraints on young people’s public opposition that arise in circumstances of (gendered) state oppression.

Abstract:

To reduce its strategic vulnerability, a small state may enter into a cliency relationship with a more powerful state. Among the consequences of cliency for the small state are the acquisition of resources, which can be used against threatening neighbors as well as against domestic populations, and the reduction of autonomy. In 1899, Mubarak, Kuwait's ruler, entered a cliency relationship with Britain. As a result, Kuwait was able to avoid incorporation into the Ottoman Empire. Although Mubarak and subsequent Kuwaiti rulers lost their foreign policy autonomy, they acquired resources enabling them to enhance their domestic autonomy by suppressing elite groups that were formerly integral participants in governing Kuwait. In 1961, oil revenues enabled Kuwait's rulers to end the cliency relationship and to provide their own resources for repressing or pacifying domestic groups. But the fact that oil revenues proved less effective than cliency in maintaining Kuwait's strategic security illustrates the fundamental security dilemma faced by all small states, even rich ones.

Admitting, then, that it is eminently desirable to reduce the action of the organized public force to the minimum … shall we not say that government can not relieve itself from the necessity of frequent and minute interferences with industry in any other way to so great an extent as by, 1st, insisting on the thorough primary education of the whole population; 2d, providing a strict system of sanitary administration; 3d, securing by special precautions the integrity of banks of savings for the encouragement of the instincts of frugality, sobriety, and industry? Each of these things is contrary to the doctrine of Laissez faire; yet I, for one, can not find room to doubt that, on purely economical grounds, the action of the State herein is not only justifiable but a matter of elementary duty.

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study and the features of financial security of the small business sector in the region. Scientific approaches to the essential interpretation of the concept of financial security of the state are generalized. The key characteristics of the theoretical and methodological foundations of financial security of the enterprise are given. The semantic specifics of the concept of economic security of the industry, sector of the national economy are revealed. On this basis, the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of economic and financial security at different levels of management of economic development and established that the financial security of the small business sector is a characteristic: (1) the state of protection of its subjects from internal and external financial and economic challenges and threats, their financial security, financial and economic efficiency, strength and balance of financial condition, stability and solvency, trends in capitalization at the micro level and the financial system in general, ( 2) measures to realize the financial and economic interests of stakeholders in this sector, (3) the ability of the state to ensure guarantees of financial security and stability of the sector, especially at the regional level. The internal structure of financial security of the small business sector of the region is determined. The scientific novelty of the research results is the further development of theoretical and methodological foundations of financial security research at the sectoral level by determining its internal structure (for the small business sector of the region), consisting of components: (1) ability to markets and rights), (2) sustainability, efficiency, protection (against risks and threats, as well as financial and economic efficiency of management and investment), (3) development (ability to maintain a sustainable trajectory of improving the key financial and economic characteristics of both entities and the sector as a whole). The structural components of the financial security of the small business sector of the region are resource, financial and economic, investment, monetary, insurance and debt.

Abstract:

Prevention and management of crime is one of the core mandate responsibilities of security agencies who are peoples that are trained to oversee the internal security system in Nigeria. These agencies includes Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Security and civil Defense Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigeria Customs Service, Directorate of State Security Service(DSSS) and to some certain extend when the level of internal security is over raising Nigeria Militaries, both Land Armies, Air Force and Navy gives intervention hand to curtail the situations. The widespread of small arms and light weapons in Kano State has it is genesis from both locally manufactured and the imported ones that mostly passed from various porous or illegal borders that are located in the neighboring states of Kastina and Jigawa State. SALW are the primary tools that trigger both ethnic and internal conflict and other related violent crimes that poses a threat to internal security, democracy and the operation of good governance not only in Kano State but in Nigeria. SALW is one of the key major factor s that generate to various categories of crime like armed robbery, kidder napping, community violent conflict, insurgent attacks and the host of many other crimes. The paper uses the failed state theory to explain the gap how state as an institution fails in its responsibilities and also the paper is empirical in nature by conducting interviews and administering questionnaire to some selected respondent populations from security personnel’s, academicians, traditional institutions and Community Based Organization’s CBO’s. The paper was on the position that for democracy and good governance to be truly functional the internal security must be guaranteed by empowering security agencies in terms of increasing their number, effective training, enough working tools, good condition of service and providing policies that will address the level of poverty and unemployment in the society as well as prosecuting any member of elite that either imported the arms or given arms to youth for achieving his political interest.

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims to investigate information technology security practices of very small enterprises. Design/methodology/approach The authors perform a formal information security field study using a representative sample. Using the Control Objectives for IT (COBIT) framework, the authors evaluate 67 information security controls and perform 206 related tests. The authors state six hypotheses about the findings and accept or reject those using inferential statistics. The authors explain findings using the social comparison theory and the rare events bias theory. Findings Only one-third of all the controls examined were designed properly and operated as expected. About half of the controls were either ill-designed or did not operate as intended. The social comparison theory and the rare events bias theory explain managers’s reliance on small experience samples which in turn leads to erroneous comprehension of their business environment, which relates to information security. Practical implications This information is valuable to executive branch policy makers striving to reduce information security vulnerability on local and national levels and small business organizations providing information and advice to their members. Originality/value Information security surveys are usually over-optimistic and avoid self-incrimination, yielding results that are less accurate than field work. To obtain grounded facts, the authors used the field research approach to gather qualitative and quantitative data by physically visiting active organizations, interviewing managers and staff, observing processes and reviewing written materials such as policies, procedure and logs, in accordance to common practices of security audits.

Abstract:

This study was aimed at analysing factors influencing acceptance and adoption of farmer education and irrigation technology for sustainable food production as a means of ensuring food security in rural settlement of Katsina State – Nigeria. It provided insight on the underlying socio-economic factors influencing farmer’s decision to adopt education and irrigation technologies in the study area. A structured questionnaire was administered for selected farmers. Results obtained revealed that 94% of farmers were small holders with low level of education indicating that farming in the study area is highly dominated by traditional farming system that results in lower yields. It also indicates 87% of farmers were within the economic active age of 20 – 50 years. Farming experience, fragmented land holdings and poor extension services were directly related to the acceptance farmer education and adoption of irrigation technologies. The study concluded that training and educating small-scale small scale farmers that form the bulk of farming community in Nigeria are viable solutions to securing household food security, diversification of source of income and reducing rural poverty

Abstract:

The article analyzed the of dissertations for science «Public Administration» on the problems ensuring information security of Ukraine.According to the data system catalog Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine was found that within the limits of science «Public Administration» problems of ensuring information security were devoted only 4 work. In view of the small number of disserta-tions, which explored the problems of public-management of ensuring information secu-rity Ukraine, we have to admit that today are absent Labour which would have addressed issues of improvement of the structure and functions of the system ensuring information security of Ukraine on the modern stage of state building. Under such circumstances, scientific solution of problems ensuring information security and in particular formation and functioning system of the information security ensuring. The analysis allows to state that authors of paid attention mainly study of theoretical principles of public administration information security, and analysis of available ap-proaches and mechanisms, development and introduction of new, more efficient models, methods and mechanisms of state information security management. However, in these studies without attention left issue of clarifying the structure and functions of informa-tion security assurance system, substantiation of theoretical and the institutional prin-ciples of the Public administration of information security of Ukraine in conditions of information-psychological confrontation, which does not allow to form a systemic vision and understanding of the correlation between elements of system public administration information security.

Abstract:

Food security is the most important area of national security. The market economy has led to the formation of new categories of agricultural producers. Country farms and personal subsidiary farms belong to the group of small farms. Modern approaches to determining the state of food security are discussed in the article. Indicators for assessing the role of small farms in food security are given. The method of calculating indicators is based on the provisions of the Food Security Doctrine and modern scientific concepts. Food independence analysis conducted. Indicators of independence from external supplies are defined for 2000-2017. The level of satisfaction of needs due to production in small farms is calculated. The growing role of peasant farms is determined in the food self-sufficiency of Russia. The direction of development of small farms investigated. Government support measures identified. The organizational and economic conditions for the development of small farms are presented.

Abstract:

This article examines the effects of the proliferation of small arms on Tanzania’s national security. Engaging the security dilemma theory, regional security complex theory and ideas about state weakness, the paper argues that the prevalence of small arms in Tanzania negatively shape the social, economic and political milieu with profound consequences for the stability and security of the country and region both in the short and longterm. While Tanzania continues to be relatively stable, it suffers from the proliferation of small arms. This may erode its long observed image as the anchor of East African stability if not urgently addressed. The paper concludes that Tanzania has both strengths or successes and weaknesses in its efforts to mitigate the small arms challenge in which the former need to be strengthened to avert the country’s image of peace and stability in East Africa from becoming an illusion.

Abstract:

In the realistic quantum key distribution (QKD), Alice and Bob respectively get a quantum state from an unknown channel, whose dimension may be unknown. However, while discussing the security, sometime we need to know exact dimension, since current exponential de Finetti theorem, crucial to the information-theoretical security proof, is deeply related with the dimension and can only be applied to finite dimensional case. Here we address this problem in detail. We show that if POVM elements corresponding to Alice and Bob's measured results can be well described in a finite dimensional subspace with sufficiently small error, then dimensions of Alice and Bob's states can be almost regarded as finite. Since the security is well defined by the smooth entropy, which is continuous with the density matrix, the small error of state actually means small change of security. Then the security of unknown-dimensional system can be solved. Finally we prove that for heterodyne detection continuous variable QKD and differential phase shift QKD, the collective attack is optimal under the infinite key size case.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to determine the current state, threats and prospects for the development of Russia's economic security. The scientific novelty lies in the development of key areas for countering threats to Russia's economic security, which are represented by the consequences of the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection. The solution to the key problems that have arisen as a result of the pandemic is to ensure effective protection of the Russian economy. Accordingly, the key direction of public administration should be the solution of strategic issues to stimulate the activity of small and medium-sized businesses, as well as to increase investment flows. As a result, the key risks and threats affecting the economic security of the Russian Federation were identified. In addition, the key problems affecting the level of economic security of the country are identified, which determines the relevance of studying the features of ensuring economic security in the country. In conclusion, recommendations aimed at improving the current system of economic security at the country level are proposed.

Abstract:

Summary This article argues that there are two broad categories of qualitative factors that determine the ability of small states to influence the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The first is the internal competence of small states in areas such as knowledge, initiative, and diplomatic, coalition and leadership skills. The second is the image of the state in the international system with specific regard to its perceived neutrality or reputation as a norm entrepreneur in particular policy fields. These qualitative features need to be combined with quantitative variables — such as population, territorial size, gross domestic product (GDP) and military capacity — that are normally used in International Relations (IR) in order to understand small states’ ability to become active participants in the UNSC.

Abstract:

This article is an exploratory, descriptive study, with a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach. It integrates concepts and perspectives of contemporary history, international relations, and security studies. Its main aim is to analyse security issues in Africa, taking as a reference the Cape Verde archipelago, which is part of the group of Small Island Developing States. This matter suggests a wider multidimensional approach that prioritizes the intersection of data obtained from a critical analysis in order to deepen regional cooperation and integration mechanisms. This can provide the Cape Verdean state with strategic options to prevent and mitigate potential security threats.

Abstract:

Security, as expressed by the security policy of a state, is one of the most fundamental aspects of a foreign and defense policies of a state. Together, they create a foreign orientation of the state which may alter with time, space and under the influence of political decision-making. This paper presents the sources of the strategic orientation of Slovakia that emerged in reaction to historical events that the faced country Slovakia gradually integrated into the European and Euro—Atlantic structures with the emphasis on coalition changes in the governance of the state. This paper, through analysis and comparison, shows the dominant changes in the Slovakian security environment. In any case, it has been the destiny of small countries to maintain their security through cooperation and integration.

Abstract:

China is now second only to the US as a world economic power. Its economic rise has challenged US ability to fundamentally shape the world trade order. However, the importance of the rise of the Chinese economy for international security affairs is less clear. The key analytical issue for international politics and for an understanding of the sources of power is whether economic power is fungible in international security affairs, whether it can independently determine the strategic alignments of small states. This is also the key question in assessing the implications of China’s economic rise for the East Asian security order. The political-economy literature argues that trade dependence can lead small states to realign within great power politics, regardless of the military balance. However, poor case selection challenges this prior literature. By using contemporary East Asia as a source of multiple bilateral case studies, I argue that the economic dependence of a small state on a great economic power is insufficient to influence independently small state strategic alignment preferences and that China’s rising economic power is not fungible in East Asian security affairs.

Abstract:

Recently due to the robust economy, the United States, including Texas, saw a significant increase in the number of initial public offerings ("IPOs") in the securities markets. Nationally, $1.16 trillion worth of new debt and equity IPOs were brought to market in 1993. Yet, 1994 saw a decrease in new IPOs due mainly to rising interest rates. In 1994, there was only $709.8 billion worth of IPOs brought to market in the U.S. The purpose of this article is to give direction to the business practitioner who unintentionally becomes involved in federal or state securities regulations. In Texas, a common involvement arises when a lawyer assists with the formation of a new business venture. A frequent misconception is if the deal is small enough, or if only a limited number of investors are involved, then federal and state securities laws are not invoked. This article will address those securities not requiring the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or the State Securities Board of the State of Texas ("State Securities Board"). The Securities Act of 19333 and the Securities Exchange Act of 19344 were enacted "to eliminate serious abuses in a largely unregulated securities market."' To achieve this goal, Congress "painted with a broad brush" in defining which activities invoked federal securities laws.

Abstract:

From the 1970s onwards, social constructivists criticized the intense narrowing of the field of security studies imposed by the military and nuclear obsessions of the Cold War. Further, they argued that these traditional issues have not disappeared, but that other, non-military sources of threat now seemed more pressing. Hence, the nature and magnitude of security within the states should be considered from different angles such as economic security, food security, health security, environmental security, personal security, community security and political security. In the context of small states, the issue of security has multiple dimensions in the complexities of the state. Apart from the traditional aspect of security threats of small states, the non-traditional aspect is very important to identify the security threats of small states. One of the most important aspects of non-traditional security thus, is that people should be able to live in a society that honours their political security. In this broader context this study makes an effort to answer whether the political security of Sri Lanka is being challenged in the context of power political paradigm. Further the research problem has been answered by using standard research tool including descriptive and analytical methods and also the research involves both qualitative and quantitative methods. As a developing small state, Sri Lanka is an electoral democracy. The 1978 constitution vested strong executive powers in the president, who is directly elected for a six-year term and can dissolve Parliament. The prime minister heads the leading party in Parliament but otherwise has limited powers. The 225-member unicameral legislature is elected for a six-year term through a mixed proportional-representation system. Elections are open to multiple parties, and fair electoral laws and equal campaigning opportunities ensure a competitive political process. Despite the war’s completion and an improvement in security throughout Sri Lanka, the situation of political security remained grim. Some observers’ charge that centralizes approach of the ruling party of the Government of Sri Lanka has led to a lack of protection of political security. In this broader context, there is an argument that the situation of political security of Sri Lankan remains grim.

Abstract:

In the conditions of rapid changes in the modern market environment, it is extremely important for agricultural enterprises to respond in a timely manner to threats to their financial security. Therefore, economic diagnostics is of significant methodological importance, and makes it possible to learn about economic problems and interpret the results of enterprises activity that have certain deviations from the norm or the state required for the enterprise. The subject of the study is a set of theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of diagnosing the state of financial security of enterprises. The purpose of the article is to diagnose the state of financial security of agricultural enterprises on the basis of the proposed methodological approach and to substantiate proposals for its improvement. The methodological basis of the diagnostics used in the study was: methods of theoretical generalizations, financial analysis, scoring method, analysis of dynamics and structure, linear programming. The article reveals the tasks and areas of management of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises with an emphasis on the protection of their specific financial interests – ensuring liquidity, solvency, financial stability, autonomy and others. For research purposes all Ukrainian agricultural enterprises were classified on the size of the net income. The system of indicators for diagnostics of financial security of the agricultural enterprises was offered. The basic structural elements of the mechanism of financial security management were substantiated. According to the diagnosis results, it was found that the state of financial security of large enterprises in 2018-2019 has deteriorated and it has had a negative impact on their solvency. Instead, the financial security of small and medium-sized enterprises has improved. Based on the experience of developed countries, proposals for public policy instruments to promote financial security of agricultural enterprises were proposed.

Abstract:

Small and medium business in Russia is a significant element in the system of the national economy of Russia, the functional role of which, in the process of its evolution at the present stage of development, has been transformed into a factor in the formation of a competitive environment. The presence of a developed competitive environment is considered as one of the basic conditions for ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of the country and improving the quality of life of its population. A competitive environment is possible to be formed in conditions of a high level of competitiveness of the «Small and Medium Business» system and its economic security. The problems of economic security are insufficiently studied and the relevance of such research is growing when it comes to small and medium-sized businesses, for the safe and sustainable development of which a scientific and methodological justification of management is necessary. This article presents the main results of a study on the development and justification of such provision: an interpretation of the definition of «economic security» and its local components by system levels is given, the need for institutional changes is proved, and a model of institutional changes of the innovation-integration type is proposed. The purpose of the study is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the content essence of the category «economic security of small and medium-sized businesses», the establishment of links and relationships (elements of local security) of the state of security, considered as a result of the integration of local states of security, as well as the development of one of the alternative models of strategic management of economic business security in small organizational and economic forms of management. As part of the researching, the authors used an information-methodological approach, the methodology of strategic analysis and planning.

Abstract:

This study aims to identify the relationship between electronic banking and performance of small and medium scale enterprises in Anambra state; one of the states with the highest number of SMEs, entrepreneurial skills, informal enterprises and a suitable business environment in Nigeria. To achieve this, the researcher examined performance of SMEs and their association with components of electronic banking; automated teller machine, point of sale services, transaction alerts via short message services (SMS) and mobile banking, through a questionnaire. Three hundred and seventy (73.1% response rate) copies of questionnaire issued to five hundred and six sampled respondents of 50 SMEs in Anambra state were properly filled and found relevant to the study. The study used SPSS and Excel to identify the descriptive characteristics of the variables of the study and analyze the data. Regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses of the study. Study results concluded that there is positive relationship between; automated teller machine, point of sale services, transaction alerts via short message services (SMS), mobile banking and performance of SMEs in Anambra State, Nigeria. The result also showed that SMEs continuous usage of electronic banking services could be attributed to cost effectiveness, convenience, security, accessibility and diversity of the services. The study recommends among others that, security of electronic banking services should be upgraded by a conjunction between SMEs and banks and that government should provide adequate regulatory framework to protect customers and security of transaction. Furthermore, policy makers in Nigeria should take advantage of the positive revelation of this study to make policies that will increase number of SMEs in Anambra state and Nigeria at large especially from the large number of informal enterprises in Anambra state and Nigeria.
