THE CONCEPT ETHNOGEOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS: THEORETIC AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT

Abstract

The article considers theoretic-methodological approaches to the formation and development of ethno-geographical systems. A methodological framework for the study of ethnonational groups settled in a multiethnic environment has been developed. The natural-geographical, socio-conomic and socio-political factors of the development of ethnic communities based on different stages of existence are substantiated.
