Abstract: The relevance of the problem is due to the fact that in recent decades the rural areas of all regions of the world are facing the complication of the global socioeconomic context of their sustainable development (and even survival) in connection with the formation of the international food and agro-industrial markets that dictate their demands to the agriculture of all countries. The growing and increasing tendencies of globalization give rise to similar consequences in rural areas, regardless of specific regional and country conditions (the dominance of agroholdings, the disappearance of villages, the formation of urban agglomerations with rural suburbanizational suburbs, etc.), but the globalization and state pressure is opposed by another tendency - glocalization, or preservation by local communities of their own social and economic specifics, primarily through tools of informal economy. The latter can act simultaneously in two ways: as a tool for confronatation of local rural communities with models of social and economic development ("weak arms" by J. Scott) imposed by the "above" (state, market or international business); and, conversely, as an instrument for maximally painless and successful integration of local rural communities into the new social and economic context of modern life.
