Criteria of Social and Economic Security for Russia and its Regions in a New Reality

Abstract

The task of determining the criteria of economic security for our country as a whole and each of its regions is of particular importance today in conditions of growing economic and social problems in post-pandemic Russia. The Russian management practice already has some experience in applying the criteria of economic security at the national level in the period from 1996 to 2007. The cancellation of the monitoring the economic security indicators became a serious management mistake, because the government lost control of the monitoring the security of the Russian economics from internal and external threats. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation in 2019 made attempt to restore the monitoring system of the actual and forecast level of economic security by the most important indicators. Today in a real crisis situation we observe objective prerequisites for the adjusting of the conditions for ensuring national security, and the social factor occupies an increasingly significant place in the formation of its target and maximum permissible values. The article offers the author’s vision of the development of the concept of national socio-economic security, approaches to the formation of a unified system of assessment criteria for socio-economic security at the federal and subfederal levels, as well as managerial reforms, which are necessary in these conditions.
