The Problems of Forming the Potential of Macroregions and Their Impact on the National Security

Abstract

The article examines the problems of forming the potential of macroregions and their impact on the national security. The war, the global economic crisis, the existing complexities of society and the digitalization of production, as well as non-renewable natural resources in general, expose global security problems, political, economic, social, ecological problems of mankind. The accumulation of problems causes a radical change in people’s lives, a transformation of existing processes and management mechanisms at the level of the country, regions and economic entities. Under such conditions, the formation of the anti-crisis potential of regions for the development of society should be strategically focused on changing both social and economic paradigms, revising approaches to improving security at all levels and moving to Industry 4.0. In this regard, the structure, significance and priority of the components of the potential be changed. The present day conditions force scholars together with practitioners to reconsider the essence and content of the concept of «potential», as well as to consider in more detail the peculiarities of the formation of the development potential of regions during crises. It is defined that the potential of macroregion includes the total potential of all enterprises, as well as the potential of the following: households, local self-government bodies, natural and resource-based, infrastructure, investment, labor market. The potential of macroregions is an integral part of the country’s potential, which also includes: the potential of the public administration apparatus, the educational-scientific potential, integration potential, financial potential. It is determined that the potential of region is a complex phenomenon, the efficiency of which depends on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of its components, as well as on the efficiency of managing their development and combination. The existing potential of macroregions is a component of both regional and public administration. When forming the provisions of the national security of the country, it is necessary to take into account the possibilities of the potential of macroregions.
