Improving the Processes of Classification and Declassification
DOI: 10.33917/es-6.204.2025.134-143
The article proposes to examine a preliminary version of a program for improving methodological tools for increasing the level of objectivity when making decisions on classifying or declassifying information. The program consists of several stages, which include: conducting preliminary work, including collecting information and solving specially formulated problems, solution of which would facilitate the implementation of these stages; collecting additional information and solving the assigned problems; analyzing the information received and solving the problems that arise; ensuring ongoing monitoring of the implementation effectiveness of the proposed program. A total of 32 such problems are formulated. Furthermore, the authors discuss ways to improve methodological principles and methodological tools in this area. In conclusion, the authors present a plan for future research in the above area.
