POLITICAL SECURITY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS: FACTORS THAT DETERMINE TRANSFORMATION
The article is devoted to the problem of ensuring political security of the Republic of Belarus in modern conditions. The urgency of the problem is determined by the changing model of globalization, the key feature of which is the desire to monopolize the new technological wave of the digital age. The possibility of geopolitical-oriented powers dominating the technological sphere and restricting individual countries’ access to modern scientific developments creates new prerequisites for instability. In such circumstances, political security must be provided in accordance with new trends. The study of the content and nature of modern wars and military conflicts allowed the author to identify the key factors that affect the transformation of political security in the Republic of Belarus. These factors include: the use of the military-power element by individual countries as a tool for solving international problems; the changing nature of modern wars and military conflicts; the desire to level the border between the peaceful state of the state and its transition to a state of war; development and implementation of russophobic ideas in the politics of Eastern Europe and militarization of the region; consolidation of the new role of the Belarusian state on the world stage as a mediator in resolving military conflicts, as a state leading the fight for peace and stability in the region, as the chairman of the Collective security Treaty Organization in the period from 2020 to 2024. The author concludes that a comprehensive account of the identified factors will contribute to improving the effectiveness of ensuring political security of the Republic of Belarus.
