National Resilience In a Changing Security Environment

Chapter 1

Olga Reznikova

Theoretical Framework of Ensuring National Resilience

In recent years, the term “resilience” has been increasingly used in various fields, so it is important to reveal the essence of this interdisciplinary concept, identify its characteristics and manifestations, and distinguish it from other phenomena. Due to the growing complexity of the global security environment, complex and disappointing forecasts for its development in the coming years and decades, studies of the resilience concept in national security draw special interest. In particular, the application of a systematic approach to forming national resilience and determining its basic principles, criteria, processes, and mechanisms have significant theoretical and practical importance.
