Overlapping long-term demographic trends with geopolitical shocks in a challenging economic environment

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.126.2026.5-11

The article examines the problems of configuring long-term demographic trends in the context of geopolitical shocks with a focus on increasing the operational array of human (bio-social) and resource-consumption (material and non-material) factors as elements of a socio-economic supersystem with a significant component of difficult-to-predict development. The paper analyses the problems of maintaining viability of the state as a supersystem. The authors substantiate a direction of the regulatory vector for the developed profiles of operational indicators depending on different population structures as a predictable phenomenon – a baseline from which to build on the factors stimulating demographic basis for the state’s viability. The main objective is to support transition of the human resource provision for the armed forces (in the context of the Special Military Operation) and production structures in various sectors of the economy from a cluster of difficult-to-predict development (instability) into a cluster with confirmed available opportunities for replenishing military personnel and key industries workers (primarily defence and critical infrastructure) as a computation solution in relation to the macro-space of operated indicators.

China’s Experience in Achieving Technological Sovereignty

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.126.2025.27-41

The article analyzes China’s model for achieving technological sovereignty, traces its historical evolution, describes its institutional system, outlines the key state governance tools used in this process, and provides concrete examples of outcomes achieved. Understanding China’s experience in achieving technological sovereignty through instruments and mechanisms of strategic state governance is of great relevance for implementing similar Russian plans and aligning the EAEU with China’s global Belt and Road Initiative. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the institutional mechanism of the guided transition to a new technological paradigm using China as a case study, as well as in systematizing the tools of strategic state governance that enable the reproduction of technological sovereignty. The methodological basis of the study is an institutional evolutionary analysis within the framework of technological paradigm shift theory.

Challenges to the economic security of enterprises in the context of digital transformation and the transition from static protection to dynamic adaptability. Part 1

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.126.2026.42-52

The article is devoted to substantiating the importance of the concept of dynamic economic security of an enterprise in the context of digital transformation and high turbulence of the external environment. The limitations of traditional static models of «perimeter» protection, which lose their effectiveness due to information overload and non-linearity of economic processes, are analyzed. The hypothesis is substantiated that the level of security of modern business is determined by the quality and speed of management decisions. A dynamic security architecture based on a symbiosis of artificial intelligence (for 24/7 operational response) and collective intelligence (for strategic thinking) is proposed. The necessity of transition from extrapolation forecasting to scenario modeling and management of a multi-criteria choice is argued. The principles of business resilience are formulated as the ability to maintain a development trajectory through controlled changes and cognitive convergence of heterogeneous data.

Occupational safety as the most important factor in an enterprise’s successful functioning

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.126.2026.67-70

The present article substantiates the relevance of introducing a risk-oriented approach and industrial safety management systems in the context of increasing industrial and organizational risks. Particular attention is paid to forming a strategy for the development of an industrial safety system, assessing the level of its maturity and applying audit as an effective tool for professional risks management. It is shown that transition from a reactive model of occupational safety to proactive management system, based on risk prevention, contributes to reducing the level of injuries and developing a culture of industrial safety.

The impact of the new Maritime Doctrine on the ESG–concept of sustainable development of the national economy and monitoring of regional environmental management in the Russian Federation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.126.2026.71-88

The priorities mentioned in the new Maritime Doctrine of the Russian Federation of 2022 (NMD–2022) were considered. Some aspects of the impact of the new Maritime Doctrine (NMD–2022) on the sustainable development of the national economy of the Russian Federation and monitoring of regional environmental management in the Russian Federation are also considered, namely: the development of principles for the strategic development of coastal systems and coastal infrastructure; scientific justification for the management of coastal territorial systems and the infrastructure located on them; the development of cruise and yacht tourism, the preservation of marine cultural and historical heritage; providing subjects of marine activity with regime reference materials, factual and predictive information on the state of the environment and its pollution, including emergency information; increasing the level of environmental protection due to the transition of domestic marine vessels to environmentally friendly fuels; monitoring regional environmental management.

A set of organizational and economic measures aimed at: responsible attitude to ecology and the environment; implementation of the concept of transparency, law enforcement, anti-corruption and ethical decision-making; implementation of the concept of social responsibility within the framework of the implementation of the NMD–2022. The paper shows that the implementation of the provisions of the NMD–2022 will contribute to the sustainable socio-economic development of the country, ensuring its national security and strengthening its authority in the international arena.
