Page–10 : Economic Security, Governance & Way Forward
Shaktimatha 369 Learning
Q46. “Economic security is an integral component of national security.” Discuss.
Economic security refers to the ability of a nation to safeguard its economic interests, ensure stable growth, and protect livelihoods. Disruptions in economic systems can weaken national stability.
Threats such as financial instability, energy dependence, supply chain disruptions, and unemployment directly affect internal security. Globalisation has increased interdependence and vulnerability.
Therefore, strengthening economic resilience, diversification, and inclusive growth is essential for national security.
Q47. “Food, energy and water security are interlinked challenges.” Examine.
Food, energy and water form a critical nexus. Agriculture depends on water availability and energy inputs, while energy production often requires water resources.
Rapid population growth, urbanisation, and climate change have intensified pressure on these resources. Poor management can lead to conflict and developmental setbacks.
Integrated planning and sustainable resource management are necessary to address these interlinked challenges.
Q48. “Good governance is essential for achieving sustainable development.” Discuss.
Good governance ensures transparency, accountability, and effective service delivery. It enhances public trust and improves policy implementation.
In the absence of good governance, even well-designed policies may fail to achieve desired outcomes. Institutional weaknesses and corruption undermine development efforts.
Thus, good governance is a prerequisite for sustainable and inclusive development.
Q49. “Linking development with security is necessary for long-term stability.” Analyse.
Underdevelopment, inequality, and lack of opportunities can fuel unrest and insecurity. Purely security-centric approaches often fail to address root causes.
Development initiatives in education, health, infrastructure, and employment reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen social cohesion.
A development-security nexus is therefore essential for long-term peace and stability.
Q50. “Integrated and future-oriented policymaking is the key to addressing GS–III challenges.” Comment.
GS–III issues such as economic growth, environment, technology, and security are interconnected. Isolated policy approaches often create unintended consequences.
Future-oriented policymaking requires data-driven decisions, inter-sectoral coordination, and stakeholder participation. Adaptability is crucial in a rapidly changing world.
An integrated approach ensures balanced development, resilience, and national progress.
