Socio-economic paradoxes of reconciliation of world and national intellectual security in the context of goals and values of sustainable development

Abstract

The aim of this study is to uncover the socio-economic paradoxes that accompany the alignment process of national and global intellectual security within the context of achieving sustainable development goals. The article analyzes how globalization affects the provision of intellectual security, particularly in conditions of increased interdependence between states, which requires balancing national interests with international coordination. The research is based on the application of comparative analysis methods and a systematic approach, which made it possible to examine the experience of the European Union's deep integration and its controversial aspects, particularly through the lens of Brexit.

The key findings of the study include the identification of several critical paradoxes arising in the process of ensuring intellectual security: the globalization versus nationalism paradox, the intellectual property protection paradox, the technological development paradox, and the paradox of access to intellectual resources. The globalization versus nationalism paradox highlights the contradiction between the need for international cooperation to achieve global goals and the desire of individual states to maintain control over their intellectual assets. The intellectual property protection paradox emphasizes the risk that excessive protection limits access to knowledge and technologies, especially in developing countries, which contradicts the principles of sustainable development. Meanwhile, the technological development paradox shows that while technological progress fosters economic growth, it can widen the gap between developed and developing countries, creating inequalities in access to intellectual resources.

The conclusions emphasize the need to find an optimal balance between national and global levels of intellectual security, ensuring both the protection of intellectual resources and the development of innovations. The study's recommendations focus on the need to strengthen international standards in the field of intellectual security, invest in cybersecurity, and support innovative activities through international cooperation. The importance of adapting to the changing conditions of a globalized world and avoiding the excessive centralization of knowledge, which can hinder global innovation progress, is also highlighted.
