Achievement of technological sovereignty in the context of ensuring Russia’s economic security in the conditions of sanctions

   Aim. To develop a methodology for assessing technological sovereignty in the context of ensuring Russia’s economic security under sanctions.

   Objectives. To analyze domestic theoretical developments in the field of technological sovereignty research; to identify the relationship between political and economic turbulence caused by sanctions, technological sovereignty and national economic security; to describe the author’s
methodology for assessing technological sovereignty in the context of ensuring Russia’s economic security under sanctions.

   Methods. The study used general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, analogies, expert evaluations. Special methods, including content analysis of economic publications, index method, economic and statistical modeling, structural analysis of economic indicators, methods of multi-criteria decision-making, scaling of economic indicators, etc., were applied.

   Results. Based on the results of the research, a new methodology for assessing the level of technological sovereignty as an element of national economic security under the impact of non-economic shocks has been developed. The methodology is realized by working out the following actions: 1) selecting the industry to assess the level of technological sovereignty (at this step of the methodology it is recommended to select only critically important industries); 2) decomposition of technologies used in the industry (for this purpose it is recommended to use the taxonomy of technological sovereignty projects of VEB.RF); 3) expert assessment of the level of technological independence of primary processes (the assessment is carried out on a ten-point scale, where 0 corresponds to full technological import dependence, 10 - to full technological import-independence); 4) assessment of the level of technological independence of primary processes (the assessment is carried out on a ten-point scale, where 0 corresponds to full technological import dependence, 10 - to full technological import-independence); 4) assessment of the level of technological sovereignty of primary processes).

   Conclusions. Technological sovereignty in the conditions of increasing anti-Russian sanctions and political and economic turbulence serves as an important element in the system of ensuring national economic security. To assess the level of technological sovereignty the corresponding methodology is proposed. The results obtained from its application allow to develop and implement a set of measures to maintain technological sovereignty at the necessary level.
