Theoretical and methodological substantiation of the structure of the state national security system

Abstract

The purpose of the article is the identification, building, and theoretical and methodological justification of the structure of the state national security system. The methodology of the study was a retrospective approach that allowed studying the structure of the elements and links of the state national security system in dynamics, comparing the current situation in the theory and practice of national security with previous periods, starting from 1943. This made it possible not only to trace changes in the structure of the elements, goals, and objectives of the national security system but also to determine what measures were proposed by scholars and politicians to solve the problem under study. The novelty of the work and its results have been determined by the original innovative approach to the theoretical and methodological justification of the elements of the state national security system and its structure in the conditions of the 21st century, the description of the process of its functioning by a mathematical model.
