Impact of Energy Constituent on Russia’s Economic Security: Integral Criterion

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The principles behind the national security complex rely on some important theoretical aspects of energy security. This article provides a diachronic analysis of Russia’s national security system, its interacting constituents, and development stages, with a focus on the energy unit and financial resources. The research revealed the major effects of energy security on the national security, including such aspects as sustainable development and protection of economic interests. The integral criterion analysis involved statistical data, retrospective interactions between various national security subsystems, and the impact of energy constituent on the national security. The expert assessment showed a reliable dependence of the national security as a system on its energy constituent. The results obtained may help the government to control the impact that the fuel and energy complex exercises on Russia’s national security, with a prospect for breaking this strong dependency.
