The impact of the economy condition on the economic and national security

Abstract

The syntagma 'national security', per se, points to the vital role that belongs to it in safeguarding the state. It is the foundation without which no society could develop economically, culturally, socially, and militarily. On the other hand, the major potential for improvement and strengthening of national security arises from the economic strength of the country. Therefore, the economic security of the state is one of the basic pillars of the national security, keeping in mind that it is unachievable without adequate economic potential of the state. The interdependence of the economic security and the national security is unbreakable, since it is not possible to establish an effective system of national security of the state without the developed national economy. The competitiveness of the economy and its economic entities in the global market is vital for the development of the national economy, since it reflects its ability to engage in the international division of labor. Macroeconomic parameters of the Serbian economy are not encouraging and are largely a consequence of its low competitiveness at micro and macro levels. Predictive observation and a deeper analysis of the economic aspect of national security refer to the need to redefine the economic model on which the Serbian economy is based. To clarify the impact of economic factors on national security, the paper proceeds from the integral discourse of an analysis of the importance of these factors. The objective of an analysis of the most important macroeconomic parameters in Serbia is a careful comprehension of the impact of the country's economic conditions on the national security. Also, an analysis of the situation of microand macro-competitiveness is used to point out the crucial influence of economic factors on the overall national security.
