The Conceptual and Categorical Apparatus of the Conception of «Security» as the Basis for Its Effective Management at the State Level
Abstract
The State security management is an extremely complex process, the consequences of inefficiency of which can even be the loss of territories or statehood in general. The importance of the issues of ensuring State security also necessitates increased attention to the theoretical and methodological basis of its construction, which, especially in times of aggravation of a wide range of threats to State security, requires updating the conceptual and categorical apparatus of security. In this aspect, the improvement of the applied conceptual and categorical apparatus on the basis of detailing the semantic aspects and the etymological basis of the concepts under study is of key importance, which determines the relevance of the proposed topic. That is why the main purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the content aspects and composition of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the conception of «security» as a basis for its effective management at the State level. In the course of the study, the key results of the latest scientific developments and publications on the issues of substantiation or improvement of the applied conceptual and categorical apparatus in the field of State security management were considered. The main content aspects of the category of «security» in their diversity are examined and the characterizations of key approaches to the interpretation of its essence in scientific sources are provided. A critical analysis of the existing approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the term «security» in the context of its substantiated semantic aspects made it possible to conclude that it is necessary to understand it as the state of security of a particular object in a certain period of time in a specific situation under certain conditions. It is determined that under the key elements of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of security, according to the given approach, for each constituent element of State security, the following should be considered: object (objects) of security; subject (composition of subjects) of security; hazards, threats and risks (by types, groups); conditions (criteria) for the security of the object; parameters (criteria) of undesirable reactions, changes, transformations of the security object.
