Conditions of formation and realization of national interests: selection and justification of criteria for their analysis

In political science and the expert community, there is a significant differentiation of opinions on the interpretation of the concept of national interest. Moreover, there is no clearly expressed understanding of the approach to analysis as a process of the study of this phenomenon. On the base of the theoretical foundations of international relations and the modern state, the authors propose solutions for the selection and justification of criteria for the analysis of conditions of formation and effectiveness of implementation of national interests.
