The growth of interdependence has made countries more vulnerable to external influence. The weakening of some countries has spurred the desire of other states to gain military-technological superiority over them and the use of "economic leverage" to achieve their political interests intensifies. As a result, the economic foundations of national security are being destroyed. The issue of maintaining a certain balance between the positive and negative sides of the influence of foreign economic factors on the development and stability of national economies, as well as ensuring the defense capabilities of the state, are vital. Therefore, one of the most important tasks of any country in the world at present is to achieve a level of economic security that would ensure internal stability, active participation of the country in the international division of labor and at the same time guarantee its national security.
All these processes and changes make such tasks as the conceptual analysis of current trends and principles of economic development in a globalized world more relevant than ever.A significant shift towards the priority of global economic regularities creates new theoretical problems, leads to the emergence of new research alleys, and makes it extremely relevant to analyze the current economic globalization trends, the growth of interdependence and, in particular, the role of asymmetric interdependence in creating prerequisites for the exacerbation of international economic conflicts. Military methods of warfare are being replaces by, no less dangerous, economic wars, which are often called geo-economic conflicts. This, in turn, determines the importance of geoeconomic mechanisms for ensuring national security over geopolitical and geostrategic ones, as geo-economics becomes a priority of world development. Geoeconomics, unlike geopolitics, views the world through the prism of the economic power of the state. The geoeconomic space is formed from resource-based, financial, production-technological, information and other components. Geoeconomics was initially a policy of redistributing world resources and profits.
Despite the lack of a unified definition, geoeconomics is nowadays becoming an increasingly important instrument of public policy. In the context of globalization, it is geoeconomic approaches that make the implementation of the economic role of the state possible, while taking into account strategic interests and ensuring economic security in the new international environment. In this environment, the importance of economic security, which is impacted by globalization, is being modified. In this regard, each country needs to develop its own development strategy while prioritizing geoeconomic aspects. Today we bear witness to dramatic events in the world and in the world economy. The traditional system of international relations is increasingly failing.
