The relevance of the article is due to the growing importance of the regional security factor in modern conditions, where the level of regional self-awareness and the desire for relative autonomy are growing within the framework of the general process of developing the security system. The article is devoted to the analysis of the security concepts existing in the history of political doctrines in order to identify the evolution of ideas about “regional security”. The study uses comparative, systemic and hermeneutic methods, the action of which is aimed at identifying aspects of regional security in the texts devoted to the problems of state, national and public security. The novelty of the research is associated with the development of the ideas’ evolution about regional security from abstract ideas to various aspects of regional practice. The result of the study is the evidence that, being originally one of the aspects of general management theory, the ideas of regional security at the end of the twentieth century have become the core of the concept of “regional security complexes”. The next result was the substantiation that modern criticism of this concept is the basis of the theoretical constructions of regional security in the 21st century, which are based on a synthesis of ideas about the need to adopt rules adopted by states that support the stability of world security and the influence of regions with their own interests. The conclusion of the study is to assert that modern concepts of regional security are based on the synthesis of methodologies of the systemic and constructivist approaches. This methodology is used to substantiate the assertion that any state is forced to deal with the security problems of its regions, to pay attention to the existing threats and regional interests in them, which may be of a constructive nature, and may pose a real danger associated with challenges from the political, economic, military, environmental, social spheres
The report is devoted to an attempt to analyze the religious threat as a phenomenon and as a concept used in modern social discourse in the territory of the Russian Federation. The problem disclosed by the authors is that the social discourse, devoted to assessments of religious threats, does not take into account the point of view suggesting the need to comply with the principles of equality before the law of all participants in the social process, including traditional and non-traditional religious associations. The authors conclude that in studies of threats emanating from religious associations, a distinction must be made between non-religious and religious threats. A non-religious threat should be understood as the consequences of destructive extremist activities that cause real damage to human health and life, to preserve the integrity of the state and society. The meaning of the concept of a religious threat consists in dangerous consequences of the religious doctrine influence, which serves as a cause of offending feelings of believers or unbelievers and doing them moral harm. For the practice of regulating religious interaction, it is important to understand that this type of danger, as a rule, is difficult to determine unambiguously due to subjectivity and the presence of different assessments in relation to the consequences of some of those actions
The article is devoted to the analysis of modern interpretations of national and religious security within the framework of philosophical concepts of the West. The aim of the study is to conceptualize modern philosophical ideas about security. To solve it, the authors use the methodology of phenomenological and hermeneutic analysis of texts, historical-cultural and comparative analysis. The novelty of the study is due to the fact that the current trends in the development of the philosophy of security here are associated with the desire to understand the essence of security as a complex system, the structure of which consists of a number of subsystems, including man, society, power, international community. The authors prove that the provisions’ synthesis of these concepts provides the basis for the formation of an integral concept of security, taking into account the concepts’ provisions that indicate the material, ontological content of threats from the surrounding globalizing world and the mental content of threats designed by consciousness in response to the increasing influence of modern processes of informatization and virtualization. According to the authors, within the framework of the integral concept of security on the basis of the principle of complementarity it is necessary to synthesize the provisions of the national-state concept of security, concept of the “world community”, concept of “soft power” and the provisions of postmodern concepts devoted to modern threats, protection from which is possible only within the framework of the collective security system, taking into account measures of protection from external and mental threats of the person, society to the state
