Security Is a Surrogate for Development Management

The desire to avoid the consequences of extreme social and economic situations under capitalism and globalization, including financial relations, encourages the state authorities to use various measures of protection from threats. This has been reflected in the creation of many relevant doctrinal and conceptual documents. The public demand has stimulated the development of risk management theory and security studies. The real science and practice of management to achieve goals in this environment is pragmatically replaced by regulation to prevent border-critical situations. However, no system of scientific knowledge has been obtained in applied scientific research on the security of socio-economic systems, explaining some set of special phenomena and reducing the open natural connections in the field of security, if there were any, to a single unifying principle. The search for such a beginning leads to the task of management. It was not possible to find objective grounds for determination of safety space boundaries (threshold values) of social and economic systems. Applied research methods are not specific to security and risk management issues and are used in management theory. Either maintenance of safety appears a private subtask in a context of the decision of a boundary problem of management of development of system, or at expanded interpretation of safety within the limits of the vital approach, as a desirable condition, actually merges with management problem for achieving the target condition. Artificial separation of the security task from the management task generates an imaginary contradiction between security and development, in the practical aspect leads to substitution of strategic management by security, creation of parallel institutions, and dispersion of resources. It is advisable in the scientific and practical spheres of management of socio-economic systems to concentrate efforts on solving the problems of strategic management of the system development in order to achieve a favorable (desired) future. Security and risk management tasks should be considered as local subtasks of ensuring the integrity of the system under specific impacts.
