The investigation discusses the difference between the concepts of «resilience» and «stability». It is noted that within the Ukrainian national academic scientific dialogue there is a significant terminological uncertainty, due to the lack in the Ukrainian lexical array of historically established equivalent of the English-language term «resilience», which occupies a key place in the modern security paradigm among the English-speaking scientific community. As a result, the Ukrainian-language scientific discourse uses a variety of synonymous terms that distort the semantic load of the original concept of «resilience» There are analyzed in detail the differences between the concepts of «stability» and «resilience», stressing that despite the fact that both of these concepts cover similar areas, their goals and scope of practical application in the security domain are significantly different. «Stability» is defined by the author as the resistance of a system to change and the ability to return to its initial state in response to perturbations. «Resilience» is seen as a more dynamic property, implying the ability of a system to adopt and develop in response to threats and environmental changes. This concept includes not only recovery from perturbations, but also adaptation, the ability to self-organize and evolve in the process of interaction with changing conditions. The author analyses these concepts through the prism of chaos theory and synergetic, emphasizing that resilience includes elements of non-linearity and the ability to self-organize under conditions far from equilibrium. These concepts help to understand how systems can evolve and adapt, turning random perturbations and crises into opportunities to evolve and improve their functions. Finally, the author emphasizes the need to distinguish precisely between these concepts in research and practice, especially within the security domain. Fig.: 2. Refs: 14 titles.
