Abstract
The article explores the relationship between sustainable development and the regional security complex. Problems of sustainability are widely analysed since the goals of sustainable development are based on the same principles that are relevant to every country. Implementation of the sustainable development goals contributes to the understanding that the contemporary lifestyle, consumption, globalisation and the use of natural resources may have a significant impact on the quality of life of future generations. Therefore, the state’s responsibility is to ensure economic, social, environmental, cultural and political security for the present and future generations in all regions. However, the regional security complex has not been analysed sufficiently. The goal of this article is to analyse the relationship between sustainability and regional security in terms of the situation in Lithuania with regards to its economic, social and military security. The regional security complex and sustainable development may be determined and analysed by way of observing the same factors and indicators. Indicators describing economic, social and political security are analysed to reach the objective of the article. Authors of the article have chosen segmentation and classification methods such as decision making trees to conduct the research. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the economic and social factors are directly related to the political (military) security in the regions of Lithuania. Therefore, further research could focus on clarifying the full regional security complex that is relevant to each region in Lithuania.
Highlights
A great number of scientific articles is dedicated to the problems of sustainability or the implementation of sustainable development goals (Šimelytė, Antanavičienė 2013; Gilli et al 2013; Neag et al 2017; Tsai, 2018; Feliciano, 2019; Gil, et al 2019; Savona, & Ciarli, 2019; Kim et al 2019; Prada, 2020; Vasconcelos, 2021)
Security is understood as human satisfaction with the surrounding environment and a sense of security within the economic, social, political and cultural context. This understanding of security is closely linked to the seventeen sustainable development goals brought forward by the United Nations
The article concludes that these sustainable development goals correspond with the components of the regional security complex and can be implemented simultaneously, and their results evaluated together
Summary
A great number of scientific articles is dedicated to the problems of sustainability or the implementation of sustainable development goals (Šimelytė, Antanavičienė 2013; Gilli et al 2013; Neag et al 2017; Tsai, 2018; Feliciano, 2019; Gil, et al 2019; Savona, & Ciarli, 2019; Kim et al 2019; Prada, 2020; Vasconcelos, 2021). The publication of the Brundtland Report by the United Nations in October 1987 prompted the interest in sustainable development issues to increase It declared that human poverty reduces opportunities for sustainability and increases environmental pressures. The implementation of sustainable development goals contributes to the development of every nation’s long-term strategies in respect of economic, social, environmental, technological and security issues. It helps to improve the quality of life of present and even future generations. The main goal of sustainable development is to ensure security in all respects for present and future generations It involves complicated decision making, especially when a long political process is required. Political security has a role in the implementation of sustainable development goals
