Security and Prosperity: Reexamining the Connection Between Economic, Homeland and National Security

Abstract

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instruction, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington What is the relationship between economic, homeland, and national security? This question drove the investigation of journal articles and federal doctrine to determine the answer. Through qualitative and quantitative research, I explored definitions, examined connections, and made observations. From this effort I found that the definitions for these security elements are cloudy; furthermore, the relationships between the elements are primarily described in relation to the elements explored but not in the context of the security environment, which plays a significant role. Key findings include: 1) there is not a balanced relationship between economic security, homeland security, and national security; 2) the security relationship is an uneven overlap of the elements; and 3) metamorphic forces shape the security relationships. All combined, when some security decisions are being made they lead to unintended consequences. To align national security efforts, the focus should be on discussion the nation's health through the lens of security and prosperity. The first steps to accomplishing this goal are: 1) develop a national narrative, 2) integrate Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense, 3) create a Department of Prosperity, 4) continue combatting violence and extremism and, 5) continue promoting prosperity abroad.

Financial Security in the Context of Economics Welfare

“…In addition, various financial reporting tools and mechanisms exist in the financial sector. Karimi (2015) also claims that security elements have economic, social, and political impacts on the surrounding world. Kremen, Shkolnyk, Semenog, and Kremen (2019) pointed out that the financial sector has dynamic characteristics and is influenced by financial and economic policies and the financial market.…”

“…Different instruments for ensuring financial security are possible. Financial security instruments Karimi (2015) pointed out that elements of economic, state and national security exist in a broader framework and the need a unifying construct that brings the security elements together, is focused on larger, long-term issues, and orients resources to address national issues. Based on Amadae (2017), Franchuk, Omelchuk, Melnyk, Kelman, and Mykytyuk (2020), Delas et al (2015), it can be said that the choice and implementation of the financial security concept creates opportunities for the growth and stability of the company.…”
