详细

This article discusses the main external economic and military and political factors for the national security of Russia. The existing and potential trends are analyzed in the development of the system of international relations, which are associated with the continuing growth of financial and economic interdependence and the increasing competition between nations. The nations that are former and new leaders on the global arena play new roles and face contradictions in these processes. Special attention is paid to the processes related to the disintegration of the arms control system and the related deterioration of the global and regional military and political situation, especially in Europe and the Asia–Pacific region. The main sources of risks for the national security of Russia are identified in the context of these changes.
