SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF REGIONAL SECURITY

Abstract

As a result of the dynamic socio-economic processes taking place globally on the agenda in society, new problems arise which are related to the strengthening of the national and regional economy in the conditions of globalization. For this reason, the fundamental importance of achieving the sustainable development of the nation-state is associated with increasing and achieving a high level of economic and social security, as globalization creates new opportunities for national actors involved in international relations but at the same time leads to risks and external threats to the functioning of national economies. Economic and social security play a huge role in shaping essential qualitative aspects of the life of the citizen, society and the state in today's globalizing world. In the modern world, it is impossible to guarantee the country's economic security without extensive international cooperation at all levels because a significant and important part of the problem concerns the spread of threats beyond national borders and the impossibility of finding a solution through national instruments and mechanisms. In the global age, uncertainty is everywhere. The job, which in the modern age is associated with life projects, because of the lack of security no longer provides support for the prospects and ambitions of the people. Conditions change quickly and often without warning. But not only working conditions and jobs are constantly changing. The whole framework, in which long-term plans (partnerships, households, neighborhoods) are usually embedded, breaks down with the enormous momentum of the new era. The lack of economic and social security at the moment is the greatest threat to the state, society and the individual. In addition, the communication and information revolution places the issue of information security in all its aspects. National interests in the global age are never restricted by state borders, which creates the prerequisites for the emergence of numerous contradictions that can be solved at the level of interstate interactions. On the other hand, the national interests of individual countries can coincide with the interests of other socio-political institutions and co-implement them. The growing interplay between countries, the deepening of integration links, the need for cooperation in solving global problems does not mean that national and regional interests are losing momentum. The new one point is to change the environment of their realization and to increase their interdependence with the national and regional interests of other countries.
