Abstract
In today’s world national and international security are greatly influenced by the economy. In order to provide an analytical overview of these processes, the paper has been divided into three parts. The first part encompasses the theoretical background within which geoeconomics does not substitute, but rather complements geopolitical calculations. The second part focusses on the expansion and conversion of the concept of national security in the context of moving from geopolitics to geoeconomics, extending the traditionally observed political-military domain. The third part deals with the case of Croatia through eight interrelated concepts of economic security (security of supply, security of market access, credit security, technological and industrial capabilities, socio-economic paradigm of security, cross-border security of communities, system security, security of alliances), demonstrating its position and possible outcomes in the field of national security from the perspective of the newly dominant economic domain.
