metadata.value: In the article, the armed forces of the state are considered as a tool to serve the interests
  of global and transnational corporations. The problem is studied within the framework of the
  methodology of geopolitical realism. It is argued that the global and transnational corporations
  are economic empires and they have a structural characteristic of an empire as such: imperial
  center (a particular corporation), inclusions (other global and transnational corporations absorbed
  by this corporation) and economic limitrophes (dependent companies, in the share capital
  of which this global or transnational corporation has a blocking/controlling stake). With the
  collapse of the USSR and the world system of socialism, economic empires become a global
  actor not only in economic processes, but also in political and socio-cultural processes. Under
  the influence of these processes, the institution of the state itself is reformatted. It is transformed
  into a corporation-state and becomes a social resource for the struggle of corporations
  in all geopolitical spaces. As a result, the armed forces, as a structural element of the state,
  serve not so much the interests of society as a whole, but mainly the interests of global and
  transnational corporations based in a given country. The main functions of the armed forces of
  the corporation-state in the process of conducting conventional military operations in defense
  of the interests of specific economic empires are the following: an armed struggle with organizations
  representing the interests of opposing economic empires; control of a territory with
  the resources that are being developed by ledger-based corporations located in the state, the
  structural element of which is these armed forces; the creation of obstacles (constant military
  threat) to penetrate a certain resource territory of competing economic empires without the use
  of warfare technologies or military bases.
