Abstract

Continuous monitoring and diagnostics of key security indicators and all its components are of particular importance to ensure a high level of security development of countries/integration associations. Modern international rankings form the analytical basis for assessing the components of the security sector, allow for comparative analysis and identify the respective leadership positions of countries. The results of the monitoring contribute to an objective assessment and man agement of economic security risks at the relevant levels: regional (regional security complex), national (security of individual countries), micro-level, etc.

Diagnosing the asymmetry of the EU countries’ development will help to identify joint coordinated actions in specific areas and security components to improve the common European position in the global environment. Economic growth and sustainable development of the EU, strengthening the competitiveness of both European countries and the EU will contribute to the security development of all member states of the integration association.
