Abstract
In recent years, the problem of economic security has become significantly more acute. One of the threats to economic security is excessive differentiation of the country’s regions by their level of socio-economic development. This differentiation makes the country’s economic space heterogeneous. The corresponding threat to economic security requires neutralization. The key issue here is the choice of a method for assessing the level of differentiation. The article analyzes the methodological techniques used to assess regional differentiation. It is shown that they not only differ, but can also give contradictory results when applied. The need for unification and integration of approaches to assessing regional differentiation in the context of ensuring economic security is revealed. These recommendations can be considered when implementing economic policy at both the federal and regional levels.
