SELF-PROMOTION OF THE MONOGRAPH "OUTLINE OF THE THEORY OF THE STATE  AS AN ECOLOGICALLY SAFE ORGANIZATION  IN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH"

Four concepts – ecological security, social responsibility, sustainable development, and environmental management – are analyzed to show that the same terminology can represent different meanings and approaches to the development of a state or urban areas. This research implies a discussion on (i) a transformation leading to confrontation and rapprochement between states and nations, (ii) ecological security as a complex, multi-level, and multi-threaded concept of state development, (iii) social responsibility because the essence of state development lies in breaking traditional social behaviors that use environmental resources, (iv) practicality of the sustainable development concept because it determines social justice and joint responsibility for the theory of state development, and (v) environmental management inspiring the integration of the above-mentioned development trends. The results are discussed. Formulated definitions of the state’s ecological security and of socially responsible and sustainable development of the city are given.
