Technological Sovereignty and Demographic Growth as Key Elements of State Security in the Current Geopolitical Reality

Abstract

This paper examines the importance of enhancing policies of technological sovereignty and demographic growth in order to increase the economic power of the state, which is a key condition for success in the geopolitical confrontation with the United States and NATO countries. The article uses specific and general analysis methods, comparison and analogy method, scientific works of researchers who consider the issue of import substitution and demography, interviews and speeches of persons holding public office, as well as the author’s empirical observations of the processes of public administration in these areas. Having considered the issue, the author has come to conclusion that to ensure the parity of the Russian economy with the world leaders, it is necessary to focus on the development of domestic high-tech production. Moreover, it should be combined with a change in the approach to the solving of the demographic problem by focusing on the resettlement of citizens in the framework of individual housing construction.
