The purpose of this article is to highlight one of the little studied issues of the history of Dagestan and the Caucasus - the settlement of the Caspian and their localization. When writing the article, the author was guided by formational, civilizational and historical-comparative methods. The article is based on various sources and works of scientists. The article contains materials on the settlement of the Caspian people who occupied the territory of the southwestern shore of the Caspian Sea. By the Caspian Sea, some authors meant various tribes that lived on the Eastern coast of the Caspian Sea.

The article deals with some issues of the history of Dagestan during the existence of the Golden Horde state. It contains material about the entry of Dagestan into this state, about the campaigns of the Tatar-Mongols against the Dagestani highlanders, about their struggle against the conquerors, about the negative consequences of the invasions of the Tatar-Mongols.

In the publication, with the involvement of written sources, archaeological materials, published scientific works, some issues of historical geography of Dagestan (IV-X centuries) are revealed: the emergence and development of political entities: Lakza, Tabasaran, Muscat, Serir, Zirikhgeran, etc., as well as the state of economy and trade of these possessions.

Following the recession and stagnation of the economy of Azerbaijan in 2015-2017, a growth of 1.4% was recorded in 2018. Economic growth has been mainly driven by the following factors: Favorable foreign economic environment for Azerbaijan from the context of oil prices: the initial forecast of the oil prices by the Azerbaijani government at the beginning of 2018 was 45 US dollars per barrel. Then, during the second half of the year, the forecast was adjusted to 55 US dollars per barrel. However, the actual price of one barrel of oil for the reporting period was above 71 US dollars (29% higher than forecasted). Radical fiscal expansion: a sharp increase in state budget expenditures has positively affected the volume of aggregate demand. Let us note that the observed fiscal expansion has taken place concurrently with the continuing discussions regarding fiscal consolidation. The predicted decline in oil sector not taking place: the main reason supporting the sector was the boost in natural gas production. The launch of several major projects, such as TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Gas Pipeline), the first phase of the Baku International Sea Trade Port Complex, and SOCAR polymer plant all had positive impacts on the economic growth in the reporting year.

First paragraph:The New Food Activism: Opposition, Cooperation, and Collective Action reminds us that understanding food activism in the world of alternative facts and post-truth politics requires breaking off with com­monly established norms, criticisms, and contro­versies. With an awareness that there are conno­tations associated with "food justice" and "neo­liberalism" that are quintessential in discussing food matters, Alison Hope Alkon and Julie Guthman propose that food activism is fertile ground for the growth of reflexive, innovative, and immersive food politics. Departing from the view that alter­native food systems have been described as apolitical and short-sighted, this edited volume suggests that food activism embodies politics and strategic action. This new sort of food activism seeks to build alliances and coalitions that go beyond the current notion of alternatives in describing transformative changes in food systems. The book is divided into three parts, each unpack­ing different possibilities for the role of activism in reshaping food systems. . . .
