The article presents the concept of ecological security and it’s relation with the utilization of natural resources. Ecologicalsecurity has become equally important with military security, economic security, political security, and national security. Seriousenvironmental challenges arise on global and local levels, especially created by excessively exploiting natural resources and causingenvironmental risks, therefore, in the regulation of utilization of natural resources ecological security becomes an important issue.The first part of the article presents the essence and importance of ecological security. Ecological security transcend nationalborders, various aspects of the utilization and protection of natural resources are regulated by the international and regionallegal acts. The condition and quality of air, water, land, flora, fauna, etc, do not depend only on one particular State, but onthe Global community. Therefore ecological security issues are regulated on the international level. In the second part of the articlethe review of the international and regional legal regulation that defines the requirements for the utilisation and conservationof natural resources is presented. Declarations of the United Nations provided a framework for development of environmental law,which aims to find the right balance between states’ rights and obligations in the utilization of natural resources. Types of naturalresources and emerging threats for ecological security while utilization of these natural resources are presented in the third partof the article. The main natural resources which utilization is related with ecological security are: oil, gas, water resources, subsoilresources, mineral resources, forest resources, fish stocks, energy resources. The rational use of natural resources means the useof resource making it possible for current and future generations to achieve the common good, but within the permissible limitsof environmental impact.

The natural environment, as a source of natural resources, has long been perceived as being a factor in determining the development of many states and regions, especially less developed areas. The main research question in this article is what role is played by natural resources and traditional industry sectors based on natural resources (milk production and tourism), in the process of establishing a competitive advantage for Podlaskie Voivodeship, which is one of the less developed regions in Poland. The results of the research reveal weaknesses that are inherent in earlier ways of thinking about these industries and, at the same time, emphasise the importance of making use of natural resources in an integrated way and combining them with new technologies.

The aim of this paper is to identify the key determinants in the Gulf Cooperation Council (which will be referred as GCC) for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows. Using the understandings of financial econometrics, the study discusses a significant positive association between FDI in Non-oil industries, while on the contrary, the negative association with the Oil industries. Natural resources are a path for some countries to attract FDI but it does not achieve the main benefits of FDI, which is introduction of new technology and offering job opportunities. Existing literature argues the suggestion that resource-rich countries attract less FDI because of resource (oil) price volatility. Statistical Models in Economic are used to analyze the data in achieving the conclusion. This study examines that natural resources discourage FDI in GCC countries, and helps identify policy reform priorities to support diversification and growth in the GCC through foreign investment.

The ongoing technological progress creates many new possibilities for the use of natural resources. Economic theory does not give a straight answer to questions on the role of resources in the production process - it is unclear if natural resources are complementary or substitutive with other factors. A natural question on the impact of these facts on longterm economic growth arise. There are opinions that technological progress will provide solution to all the problems associated with the depletion of the resources. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to answer questions about the theoretical relationship between long term economic growth, technological progress and the consumption of natural resources, taking into account the modern theory of growth and ecological economics. The main subject of research is the impact that role of natural resources (complementary or substitution) to the other factors of production can have on growth. An additional question is about role of exogenous technological progress.
