Economic Security in Post-Soviet Countries: Level of Ensuring and Development Trends
Abstract
At the national level of economic security studies, a special place has always belonged to the estimating side of the problem. Estimations of state economic security serve as input data for determination of directions and ways of the security further provision. At the same time, such estimations should be considered not only as a result of a certain methodology application in a certain country, but also in the context of comparing the economic security estimations across a set of countries. The aim of the article is to determine the level of ensuring the economic security in post-Soviet countries, as well as to recognize patterns, risks and threats that affect on future development of state economic security. For comparative analysis of economic security Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Georgia and period 2016-2020 have been selected. The methodological basis of the study were: economic comparative studies, methods of summation, arithmetic mean, weighted arithmetic, geometric mean, rating; international index systems were used as a basis for comparative analysis. Using the suggested methodology of estimation allowed obtaining results that characterize level real economic security, is lower than average. None of the analyzed countries has managed to maintain an acceptable level of economic security. The determined levels allow us to state that the economic systems of the analyzed post-Soviet countries demonstrate high perceptiveness to actualization of various threats. And this perceptiveness, in its turn, leads to various negative changes in the economic systems of these countries. High perceptiveness of the economic systems in the analyzed post-Soviet countries to actualization of various threats can be explained by the changing quality of their economic potential, low levels of their innovativeness and also by the lack of proper conditions to apply the innovations.
