Modern society for almost 25 years of the 21st century, influenced by the negative effects of globalism and neoliberal policies, has been faced with a number of challenges of different nature and unpredictable risks and threats, which to one degree or another affect the security of countries. There is a complication of destabilizing processes, hybrid threats and impacts with a negative effect. Cyberspace is increasingly used as a field for confrontation and for imposing political and economic interests. In different parts of the world and primarily in the member states of the Euro-Atlantic structures, international terrorism is reawakening. The boundaries of internal and external security are gradually blurring. All this in itself leads to an increasingly uncertain security environment and unpredictability of risks. Against this background, in the broad range of national security of each country, its military-political character is of paramount importance. We are talking about defensive (military) security, which is one of the main subsystems of the national security system. It is directly dependent on the military-political and military-strategic situation of a country, which also predetermines the need to maintain the necessary sufficient defense potential. The latter, in turn, is directly dependent on the resource capabilities of a given country in strict compliance with international law and agreements, taking into account collective defense obligations in NATO and the EU. And they, the resource capabilities, are predetermined by the potential of the national economy in compliance with the necessary proportions between military and public needs. In accordance with them, the formation of military-economic potential requires an optimal ratio between capabilities and means of defense with purely economic potential. In this context, the scientific research for the purposes of this publication is in response to the interrelationship defense resources-defense policy-management for the Goals of capabilities and ensuring national security.
