Structural elements of the system for ensuring the security of the national economy
Abstract. Ensuring the economic security is a necessary component of the existence of any state. Recently, this topic has been given considerable influence in the Russian Federation and in other countries. At the same time, the understanding of ensuring the economic security as a system requires specification and scientific justification, which is due to the effective impact of risks and threats on the national economy. The purpose of the study is to clarify the structural elements of the system for ensuring the country`s economic security. The study used general scientific methods of induction and deduction, analyzed and generalized the results obtained earlier. The information base of the study was regulatory legal documents, scientific publications, statistical information. The presented analysis of approaches to building a system for ensuring the economic security revealed a lack of uniformity not only in the representation of the structure of elements, but in understanding the purpose of the system for ensuring the economic security. The author`s representation of structural elements is proposed. The purpose, principles, goal, tasks, functions, methods and tools, objects and subjects of ensuring economic security, as well as objects of influence are determined. Scientific novelty lies in the specification of the elements of the support system, as well as their content. The conclusion is drawn that the modern provision of economic security partially includes the proposed elements, but their use or functioning as elements of the system is limited.
