The object of research is the economic security of the state as the basis for protecting the national economy from threats in conditions of crises, martial law and integration transformations. It covers historical and modern aspects of the formation of this concept, starting from the “New Deal” of 1934 in the USA to modern Ukrainian realities.
The lack of a single definition of the economic security of the state and the plurality of theoretical approaches complicate the formation of effective state policy. The problem lies in the need to systematize approaches to the concept, take into account the impact of crises, martial law and external threats, as well as identify key factors for ensuring economic security in conditions of European integration.
Using bibliometric analysis of Scopus and Web of Science data, a retrospective analysis of indexed sources on economic security was conducted. Based on this, 10 classification approaches were identified: growth capacity, economic system balance, threat resistance, resource-functional approach, protective approach, investment-innovation approach, economic-legal approach, sustainable development security, pandemic-economic approach and military-economic security. The author’s definition of the economic security of the state was proposed, which takes into account its interdisciplinary nature and modern challenges.
Three broad clusters of 256 keywords were formed in Scopus; five narrower clusters of 146 words (45% less) were formed in Web of Science. A wider thematic coverage was found in Scopus and a more specialized one in Web of Science, reflecting different research emphases.
The results are recommended for developing a state policy of economic security, improving anti-crisis management, planning economic development and harmonization with European standards. They can be used to forecast risks, assess the stability of the economic system and support sustainable development in conditions of martial law and post-war recovery.
