PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE MODEL OF THE STATE SECURITY ENSURING SYSTEM OF UKRAINE

Attention is focused on the conceptual uncertainty in the critical issue of what should be the most optimal public administrative model for ensuring the state security of Ukraine in the current realities of the development of the strategic security environment. The article analyzes the national scientific achievements in the development of state security ensuring system of Ukraine as a fundamental public administration system which comprehensively covers, among other things, the state security sphere. Research of theoretical general methodological approaches to improving existing and developing new forms and methods of ensuring state security of Ukraine is presented, highlighting promising scientific and academic experience that can be useful for the development and improvement of the optimal public administrative model of ensuring state security of Ukraine. Considering the national scientific discourse on the categorical concepts of “state security”, “national security”, and “national security system”, the article examines the characteristics which should be inherent in a perfect system of ensuring state security, that should be developed in the Ukrainian State. The authors’ definition of the generalized concept of Ukraine’s security ensuring system is presented, considering the above analysis, and the critical tasks of Ukraine’s security ensuring system are detailed. Characteristic features of the state security system of Ukraine are identified: the system has to be manageable, observable, and identifiable; the system may contain destabilizing elements of subsystems; it is necessary to distinguish security levels based on the principle of their relative independence (“strategic-tactical-operational” or, for example, “national-district-regional-local” or “functional-sectoral”). Methodological approaches to developing a complementary public administrative model for ensuring the state security of Ukraine are proposed, which is intended to serve as a reliable tool for solving organizational and administrative tasks in the sphere of ensuring the state security of Ukraine.
