The paper basically deals with two important concepts: security
economy and economic security. The former is a relatively new term
implying the way of building an entire system of protection by measures
and activities to prevent deliberate actions affecting the quality of life and goods,
while the latter is a term understood only post factum, when the threats to the
economic security of a state have had effect. Therefore, a macroeconomic
equilibrium at the world level should be correlated with internal political,
economic and social equilibrium in order to ensure long-term sustainable
development of the economy
