Russian term or phrase: спекуляции на темах безопасности
Как обезопасить внутреннюю политику от спекуляций на темах безопасности, не допустить вмешательства извне во внутренние дела, какими должны быть структуры безопасности в современном мире, учитывая новейшие технологии и новую глобальную архитектуру, — вот та повестка, которую предстоит обсуждать.

agree  Sabina Metcalf: Думаю, вы правы - тут речь не о спекуляции как способе заработать (making profit), а именно как о домыслах, допущениях.

Если бы речь шла о спекуляциях, как о "размышлениях", то, ИМХО, должно быть спекуляции на темы (другой падеж). Спекуляции на темах означают именно получение какой-бы то ни было выгоды (не обязательно денежной) от данных вопросов. Как вариант перевода: making security issues a political football.
