Abstract

The article is devoted to research and identification of problems and challenges in the implementation of public management mechanisms in the field of national security in Ukraine. It is noted that there is a need for further research into this issue and systematization of scientific approaches. It was established that the sphere of national security and defense was and still is one of the most urgent issues for consideration and research, since the complete protection of the vital interests of a person, society and the state as a whole depends on it. The author states that the mechanisms of public management in the field of national security in Ukraine should be considered a system of tools, principles, and methods by which interaction between subjects of the institutional structure of national security is carried out in order to achieve defined goals and objectives. The article draws attention to the fact that when raising the issue of implementing public management mechanisms in the field of national security in Ukraine, the first thing we should emphasize is the difficulty of implementing effective long-term changes in wartime conditions. The article describes the main problems (institutional, legislative, economic, information and communication, social, cultural, psychological (mental)) and challenges (public safety and public order; corruption; dependence of the national economy on supplies of energy raw materials; unsatisfactory competitiveness of the Ukrainian economy and decapitalization national wealth, in particular industrial, energy, transport and residential infrastructure) in the implementation of public management mechanisms in the field of national security in Ukraine.
