New Elements of National Security: National and International Aspects

The purpose of the study is to study the legal aspects of the structural development of national security to identify trends and factors that influence the formation of national interests of an individual state and international relations, as well as to study the national security system from a legal standpoint. The method of research: a comparatively legal comparison and analysis of current national Russian and foreign legislation and development strategies, international treaties and agreements on national security issues and their application. Result: The study revealed objective prerequisites for the formation of new independent elements of the Russian Federation’s national security system, including biosecurity, cybersecurity, cryptosecurity and investment security. These new elements form their own subjects and ways of ensuring national interests and national security in these areas, have their own legislative framework and legal regulation, which clearly determines the need to allocate them into independent structural elements of national security for further legislative regulation and practical implementation in terms of protecting national interests.
