Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyze the conceptual and categorical apparatus for defining the institutional and legal mechanism for ensuring law, order and security in the field of public administration. The research methodology is based on the study and systematization of the conceptual and categorical apparatus regarding the institutional and legal mechanism of ensuring law, order and security in the field of public administration based on factor analysis and synthesis, as well as using epistemological methods of cognition. Scientific novelty – based on the results of the analysis, it is possible to define the institutional-legal mechanism for ensuring law and order and social security as an institutional-legal system that, based on interconnected means and measures, forms and methods of subject-object interaction, has the objectively necessary conditions for the formation the constitutional system, the maximally complete provision of the rights and freedoms of citizens, the regulation of social relations with the help of laws and normative legal acts in the balance of interests and protection from real or potential threats to individuals, society and the state. Conclusions: 1.
