From the Concept of National Security to the Concept of Civilizational Security as the Basis of Eurasian Integration

In the conditions of the global crisis of the modern world order, the nation-state ceases to be a form adequate to the globalizing world, transforming into corporations-states, on the one hand, and into states-civilizations, on the other. This objectively leads to the transformation of the concept of national security into the concept of civilizational security, corresponding to the needs of transforming states and societies in the conditions of active confrontation of competing concepts of the future global world order.

Aim. Substantiation of the evolution of the concept of national security into the concept of civilizational security and identification of its essence.

Tasks. Identification of objective reasons for the evolution of security concepts, their differences and essence, development of proposals for the formation of the concept of Eurasian civilizational security.

Methods. The structural-functional approach, comparative-historical analysis, system analysis, generalization, synthesis were used.

Results. In the process of the development of the global crisis of the world order, there is a growing crisis of national states as a form of organization of societies. In parallel with the transformation of the nation-state into a corporation-state and a state-civilization, there is an objective process of formation of a new concept of civilizational security. The main objects of civilizational security are systems of civilizational values and civilizational identities that ensure the very existence of both civilizations and civilizational States.

Conclusions. The ess ence of civilizational security is the maintenance and defense by civilization of its identity based on its own system of values, its model of society and the state, its system of historical and spiritual coordinates.
