Economics in the U.S. national security system

Abstract

The National Security Strategy of October 2022 is based on integration into the national security of the U.S. economy, including foreign economic and trade policy, export control, control over the transfer of advanced technologies and the consolidation of friendly and allied U.S. countries in order to collectively use the entire arsenal of these tools in the interests of ensuring the national security of the United States and ensuring the preservation of its leading position in the modern world. .This approach includes such main components as domestic investment in the United States in the promotion of innovative technologies and state support for technologically advanced industries of the American economy, strengthening economic government, monitoring not only incoming, but also outgoing investments. The Strategy justifies the thesis about the destruction of the borders between U.S. domestic and foreign policy while upholding the interests of the country's national security, the need to give priority to the internal technological security of its economy, maintaining American technological advantages, and actively countering the growth of economic, diplomatic, China's military and technological power as the main and sole centre of power, actually able to get ahead of the United States in the total volume of advanced technologies already this decade, depriving the United States of the status of the leading economic force of the modern world. The essence of the approach to U.S. economic security reflected in the White House Strategy is the desire to surpass China as the most strategically significant threat to U.S. national security and the joint efforts of a coalition of friendly and allied U.S. states to contain the breakthrough technological development of China, reflected in the concept of "Made in China 2025."
