Abstract
The country’s domestic policy and foreign political relations are one of the main directions of the study of the spy state. Accordingly, in order to reduce/avoid the risk of intelligence-related damage and infiltration, it is important to carry out a structural analysis of the informational impact of political power and the political security of the state, also analysis of threats and intelligence vulnerabilities. In the same context, it is important to consider the intelligence aspects of economic soft power, as well as to analyze power as a behavior control mechanism, the communicative concept of power and its intelligence side. All of the above should be an important basis for planning preventive measures for the internal and external security of the state.
Keywords: power, political power, soft power, economic power, intelligence activity, counterintelligence activity, communicative concept
