ABSTRACT. The European Union represents a unique example of the most complexly developed and the most comprehensive model of regional economic integration. This is characterized by high dynamics of the integration process, while in its current form, even under the influence and action of the whole range of factors having a negative impact; it is indicating a gradual transition to the deployment phase of a political Union. For a relatively long period of time, the European Union remained as of one of the three main pillars of world economy and it has been trying to maintain this position even in this turbulent period. In this direction the European Union proceeded with the implementation of two major development strategies, affecting the whole of its interior space of the Lisbon Strategy and the Strategy Europe 2020, as well as the entire spectrum of so called macro-regional strategies (the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region, the European Union Strategy for the Mediterranean Region and the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region). In this paper we will focus mainly on the analysis of the range of the process of implementation of the Strategy Europe 2020 in the Slovak Republic as one of the EU member states.
The European Union is currently one of the most sophisticated and comprehensively developed examples of regional economic integration. The analysis of selected strategic documents adopted and implemented on the territory of the European Union primarily focused on the economic dimension of further development of this complex and economically interconnected transnational economic complex shows, that one of the main, strategic goals are oriented on the higher economic convergence and cohesion within its internal space, as well as the full range of objectives aimed at maintaining and improving its position in the world economy. Changes in the internal and external economic environment of the European Union, often associated with a certain degree of unpredictability of their effects, determine the dynamics of economic development of the European Union and the degree of economic security achieved. The presented contribution focuses on the study of the formation of a specific model of economic security forming in the environment of the European integration area. In the context of the indicated starting points of the research, the main attention is focused on selected aspects and factors based on the possibility to identify development trends in the processes of shaping economic security within the European integration area. In the process of elaboration of the submitted professional contribution, its authors focused on the following basic research questions: How does the European Union approach the formation of economic security in its internal economic environment formed on the basis of specific national economic complexes of individual member states? Which selected factors need to be examined in the context of monitoring the development of economic security within the European integration area and to follow their development direction? Based on monitoring and predicting the possible future development of selected factors supporting the formation of economic security to deduce how the level of economic security is currently achieved by the European Union and what are the possible future trends in this area? Several methods and procedures were used in the process of processing the submitted paper. The frequency of use of individual methods and procedures was different in individual parts of the presented text. In the process of processing the outputs of the research into a comprehensive text of the submitted paper, the analysis, comparison, as well as the synthesis of collected knowledge, data and information and comprehensive and logically arranged units were most significantly used. Different types of data and data which were the result of the application of various mathematical-statistical methods and procedures, were also used in the process of processing the submitted paper. The outputs of the research of the subject of the paper can be summarised as follows. The European Union currently has the appropriate starting conditions for shaping a comprehensive model of economic security. Inwards, as well as innovations, it acts in the context of economic security as a stable economic actor with a well-developed and well-established economic environment. The economic security of the European Union, as well as other geoeconomic actors, is determined by the dynamics of the development of the global and regional economic environment. In view of the indicated dynamics of development, it will be necessary in the future for the European Union to have created economic structures capable of responding flexibly to these influences and subsequently adapting to them effectively.
The paper covers the geopolitical issues and impacts of contemporary theoretical geopolitical approaches, specially formed in Russian Federations which is concentrated in Eurasian school. This geopolitical paradigm illustrates the theoretical and ideological influence in Russia which is forming a foreign and security policy focused on Ukraine. In this contribution, we are presenting analyze of the main ideas and principles of this geopolitical ideology in Russian policy and strategy today.
