INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF CIVIL PROTECTION IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION PROCESSES

Abstract

The article highlights the state of political and administrative processes of institutionalization of the sphere of civil protection in the context of globalization processes, as well as their conceptual problems using the experience of expert analysis. It is stated that the current geopolitical situation of most countries of the world indicates that the implementation of institutional, structural and legislative changes in their civil protection systems is insufficiently effective in responding to emerging threats. Such threats include: hybrid wars, non-violent methods of struggle, terrorism, mass migration of the population, use of modern precision weapons. Different aspects of the issue of institutionalization of the Unified State Civil Protection System of Ukraine are considered. On the whole, the concept of institutionalization reveals the importance of the processes by which action acquires not only normative ordering, but also organization, the result of which will be the creation of an institute. Such an interpretation of the institutionalization of the activity of public authorities is a synthesis of normative, institutional and procedural elements (some processes, procedures and decisions that allow for the effective functioning of public administration bodies are explored). The analysis of complex structural hierarchical levels in the creation and functioning of the public administration system in the field of civil protection. It is argued that the process of creating a unified state civil protection system is not yet complete, and the management bodies are in the mode of «permanent» reorganizations for a number of reasons: imperfection of current legislation, acute shortage of material support for civil protection measures at all levels, systematic outflow of qualified personnel in other areas of work, inconsistencies in the functioning of state policy on the national civil protection system, etc. The general conclusion is that the actualization of transformation processes, which leads to improvement of public administration mechanisms in the field of national security, requires the study of the institutionalization of the central authority of the country on civil protection in order to prevent the recurrence of systematic errors in the development of a unified state system of Ukraine for the period of its formation.
