This article provides a profound analysis of the paradigm crisis in political science, triggered by contemporary geopolitical upheavals such as Russia's aggression against Ukraine and the violent arms race. The author cites the 'Millennial Reflections' project edited by Brecher and Harvey, pointing to the need to reject theoretical elegance in favor of analytical rigor and methodological pluralism. The text connects theory with practice, drawing on Rodrik's Trilemma and contemporary challenges such as the geopolitics of silicon and technological sovereignty. The role of decision-makers' agency and the influence of public opinion on security strategy are emphasized, pointing to the Good State Foundation as a center integrating security with market mechanisms.
