Economic Security in Strategic Planning Documents

Abstract

The strategic development of modern Russian regions is acquiring more and clearer methodological content, mastering new models for analyzing the factors that determine the prospects for the development of economic entities. In relation to the analysis of the situation in terms of ensuring economic security, the results of which determine the development of a particular region, it is important to evaluate the practice of ensuring economic security, reflected in the development strategy of the region. Considering the essence of such a phenomenon as “development”, it is necessary to namesuch aspects of this process as changes that accompany development and are aimed at achieving the goal. The researchers note that the changes, as a rule, are natural and irreversible. In terms of the strategic development of regions, as well as any socio-economic systems, changes of this kind are also irreversible, since they do not allow returning to their original state. Thestrategic development of regions, as well as economic entities, provides not only an increase in internal potential, but also creates a competitive advantage when interacting with the external environment. The purpose of this study is to determine the special provisions of economic security in the regional development strategy using the example of a typical region of the Central Federal District, which allows us to assess the problems of implementing the directions of the country’s economic security strategy and determine the tasks for adjusting the regional development strategy. Among the research methods used are content analysis of documents, system analysis, methods of grouping and generalization, as well as methods of logical analysis and synthesis of information within the subject area of research. In this paper, it has been established that there are no independent sections on any aspect of economic security, and certain aspects are not presented systematically and reflect the target orientation of the strategy developers to a greater extent than contain specific projects and programs of direct action in terms of ensuring the economic security of the region. In general, in the text of a strategy of a typical region there is no emphasis on economic security, and general phrases in the form of tasks that the region needs to solve are similar to declarative statements about the need to resolve individual issues. For the future, an analysis is needed, which should be carried out from the point of view of the tasks set for each area of economic security, which are determined by the country’s economic security strategy, with the exception of issues related to the development of the national financial system due to the lack of powers of the region in this area.
