Prevention of security threats and risks in the political protection, social, socio-economic and informative fields
Aim
Description
Given the security challenges of the future, studies with the potential to develop and apply an interdisciplinary approach are becoming increasingly important. Security in this context is comprehensive, encompassing a broad spectrum of relations in the political, defense, public, socio-economic, and information environments. The significance of the study's results will be reflected in the conclusions and strategies developed for preventing security threats under modern conditions. These strategies will be based on in-depth interdisciplinary research, scientific opinions, political planning documents, and institutional practices. The research findings will be integrated into the training of law enforcement officers and security specialists and will be used to improve curricula, ensuring the effective and high-quality development of the education system. The results will be relevant and applicable to everyone involved in the development of national defense and security policy, both scientifically and practically.
