The author states, that the theory of economic security of the state as a scientific discipline today is at the beginning of its new stage of development. A marked surge of interest in this topic is expected in the nearest future, that will intensify research activity in this scientific field. To meet these expectations scientific community needs a strong methodological platform, which should be based on universal and coherent categorical apparatus. However, a set of essential methodological problems may deteriorate a rise of the economic security of the state. One of the key problems is a significant number of scientific schools within the discipline. Most of them has developed their own categorical-conceptual apparatus. The author draws attention, that terminological chaos in the theory of economic security of the state as one of a serious problem for its institutionalization and development as an independent scientific discipline. It makes impossible to create a common methodological framework for discipline and undermines constructive scientific discussion between representatives of different scientific schools in this field. The huge differences between scientific schools are observed already at the stage of defining the basic definition of this scientific discipline - “economic security of the state”. A plenty of various approaches can be identified withing this scientific community. The differences between defining concept of “economic security of the state” are very deep indeed. This is a significant obstacle to create a common platform for numerous groups of scientists, who are working on various aspects of this topic.To resolve this problem and find common solution the author has analysed a majority of approaches of various scientific schools and individual scientists regarding the definition of the concept of “economic security of the state”. Their advantages and disadvantages have been identified. Based on knowledge obtained the author has proposed his own definition. According to it, “economic security of the state” should be treated as a state of the economy, that is intentionally and purposefully adjusted by public authorities in order to ensures the state's resilience to external and internal systemic threats and aggressive actions undertaken by other states. The author has justified the practicability of using this definition in the scientific research as well as policy-making.
