Ethnic business: methodological aspects of understanding the phenomenon in foreign and domestic scientific traditions

The article deals with the analysis of methodological aspects of
understanding the phenomenon of ethnic business by foreign and Ukrainian
researchers. The factors of relevance of such a statement of the problem are
emphasized. Attention is paid to taking into account the following points:
awareness of the fact of ethnic diversification of a large number of countries
of the contemporary world due to the existence of representatives of various
ethnic origins within the framework of one state-territorial formation;
intensification of migration movements; formation of socio-cultural spaces
in which representatives of certain ethnic groups are concentrated; level
of interethnic interaction in multi-ethnic countries; policy of official authorities
at the national and local levels; interaction of the foreign-ethnic
population (diaspora) of certain countries of residence with countries of
origin.
The need for an interdisciplinary approach in studying the phenomenon of
ethnic business, as well as in the formation of methodological principles of
its research, is emphasized. The state of foreign and domestic discourse is
presented and it is suggested to pay attention to the fact that improving the
methodology for understanding the phenomenon of "ethnic business" will
require more active use of new technologies, including those that artificial
intelligence can offer.
