SOME ASPECTS OF ESTIMATION OF THE STATE OF NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

National security depends mostly on the quality of executive and strategic planning of economy. Evaluation of its effectiveness is possible only with national security system of indicators, which are partially listed in the regulatory documents. But the absence of a complete indicators system makes it impossible to conduct a thorough analysis. This is why empirical research of security evaluation criteria is essential. National Security Strategy of Russian Federation and its evaluation criteria is part of a long-term development strategy till 2020. Analysis of main priorities of the Strategy indicates absence of legal norms, which would bind institutions to activities within national security strategy. There is also lack of planning at the domestic level. A number of criteria indicate low level of national interest security. A significant marker of negative social-economical occurrences is ever-increasing fraction of population with a wage below minimum standard of living. Absence of cycle manufacturing of capital funds leads to low labor efficiency and high dependence on high-quality commodities. One of the issues, which is occasionally brought to discussion and is essential to this study, is determination of the degree to which economy of Russian Federation should be closed. But considering the modern manufacturing resources and the level of education of skilled labor the efficiency of closed economy causes doubt. In author’s opinion, strategically important are such aspects of national security as long-term projection of needs and trends of society, science and technology development, formation of employment policies, which aim at adequacy of public needs and specialists’ qualification profiles as well as recovery of reprocessing cyclicity of capital funds.
