Modeling Ecological Security of a State

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to develop a model of ecological security of a state. This purpose can be reached with the help of the following methods: induction, deduction, synthesis, comparative and problem analysis, modeling, and systemic approach. The authors analyze the modern situation in the global economy and determine the reasons for provision of ecological security. The authors consider the currents notions of national security and ecological security and determine the role of economic security in provision of national security of the state. As a result of the research, the authors concluded that the objective situation in modern global economy stipulates the necessity for provision of ecological security. In order to solve a variety of ecological problems, created by anthropogenous influence, the authors developed the model of ecological security of the state, the key instruments of which are ecological marking and ecological taxation. The offered tools of ecological marking and introducing ecological taxes throughout the world will ensure the efficiency of managing the ecological security, as they will form the internal moral motivation of economic agents for support for ecological security and external material stimulation. Implementation of the developed model of ecological security of the state will allow using the market tools of providing ecological security, through forming the demand for ecologically clean products due to the systems of ecological markings and due to mechanisms of state regulation of economy through the tax system, which ensures the complexity and efficiency of the developed model.
