Резюме

This article offers a conceptual reconsideration of national security in the context of an intensifying polycrisis characterized by interconnected health, climate, economic, cyber, and geopolitical risks. The study argues that the classical model of national security, based on territorial defense and military power, is increasingly insufficient for managing complex and nonlinear threats. In response, the article develops the concept of systemic resilience as a framework for adaptation, policy coordination, and effective management of contemporary crises.
