'Destabilisierung' (destabilization) is the nominalization of the verb 'destabilisieren' (to destabilize). The ending '-ung' turns a verb into a feminine noun, so the article is 'die'.
Die Destabilisierung des politischen Systems hat weitreichende Folgen.
The destabilization of the political system has far-reaching consequences.
To say *what* is being destabilized, you usually use the genitive or the preposition 'von' (of). For example, 'die Destabilisierung der Wirtschaft' (the destabilization of the economy) or 'die Destabilisierung von ganzen Staaten' (the destabilization of entire states).
Experten warnen vor einer Destabilisierung der Finanzmärkte.

This noun is often combined with verbs that describe a process. Typical phrases are 'zur Destabilisierung führen' (to lead to destabilization), 'eine Destabilisierung verursachen' (to cause destabilization), or 'eine Destabilisierung verhindern' (to prevent destabilization).
Die neue Politik führte zur Destabilisierung des Landes.
