MECHANISMS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN MEASUREMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BORDER COMPETITIVENESS

Abstract

Taking into account negative tendencies that had an impact on the functionality of the existing crossing points at the state border of Ukraine because of circumstances caused by fullscale war, which the russian federation started against Ukraine, and previous quarantine restrictions originated from the acute respiratory disease pandemic COVID-19 that was originated from the SARSCoV- 2 coronavirus, in this article it was analyzed the capacity of existing crossing points on the example of the Ukrainian-Slovak border with several indicators of the full operation of the border infrastructure to specified force majeure circumstances, to understand several indicators of normal functioning of crossing points and returning to the specified levels in the post-war period. The purpose of the article. The article is devoted to the study of the impact of public management mechanisms on the processes of improving the border infrastructure of Ukraine through the prism of economic, logistical and regional features. Methodology. A study of legal support, as one of the key elements of the implementation of public administration mechanisms, and improvement of prospective crossing points within the current legal field of the state at various levels of their implementation and implementation of state policy, was carried out. Scientific novelty. Therefore, it was proposed, based on the regional logistics component, to open promising checkpoints (“Zabrid – Ulich”, “Mali Selmentsi – Velike Slementse”, “Pavlove – Matyovtse”, “Palad-Komarivtsi – Ruska”, “Solomonovo – Chierna” and “Storozhnytsia – Zahor”) on the line of intersection of the Ukrainian-Slovak border in the cross-border territories of Zakarpattia Oblast. Taking into account all regional features, the latest model of modernization and expansion of existing crossing points and the opening of new crossing points across the state border on the Ukrainian-Slovak section of the crossing within the Zakarpattia region was cartographically illustrated. Conclusions. According to the results of the study, it was proven that the border infrastructure has underestimated economic trends of influence on the economy of the state as a whole, which requires, with the aim of positive trends of its development on economic processes, to pay special attention of the state through the introduction, expansion and improvement of public management mechanisms to the specified processes of modernization of the state border.
