Economic security policy in the Barents region

The Barents Region is undergoing unprecedented changes in its physical, social, economic and geopolitical realities. These rapid changes have a significant impact on the security of the Arctic as a whole and on certain aspects of security in particular. These aspects and challenges associated with them are often investigated and analyzed in certain autonomy from each other, considering only one side of the problem, but to assess the complexity of the risks is only possible when these problems are considered in connection with each other. This article is aimed at studying economic security policy by analyzing the priorities outlined in the strategies of the countries of the Barents Region and their real actions. National strategies of the countries of the Barents Region take into account the specific factors of the northern regions, the heterogeneity of their space and the uneven dynamics. The methodology of strategy formation is determined by a set of research methods of forecasting and planning, the goal, objectives and principles of regional management in a market-driven economy. At the same time, the main goals are to protect the national interests of the country and ensure the social and economic sustainability of the Barents Region and its countries.
