Enhancement of the Mechanism for Ensuring Russia's National Security: Some Directions

Abstract

The main problem of enhancing the mechanism for ensuring national security is seen in maintaining legal and institutional mechanisms that are kept by the resources of the state and society at the proper level (corresponding to modern challenges and threats in this field). The author highlights the main directions of enhancing the mechanism for ensuring national security in the Russian Federation that include the improvement of legislation (elimination of collisions, deficiencies, gaps, etc.), adoption of new laws, and improvement of the effectiveness of the participants of this mechanism by means of coordination and interaction of bodies and entities of a relevant administrative level. The author makes a proposal for legislative consolidation of the functions and powers of the Security Council of the Russian Federation as the sole and main coordinating center for ensuring national security.
