MODERN INSTRUMENTS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN ENSURING NATIONAL SECURITY

Abstract

It is noted that ensuring national security is one of the most important functions of any state, as it guarantees the protection of the interests and security of citizens, the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country. Various tools are used to achieve this goal. Public administration tools in the context of ensuring national security include a wide range of methods, procedures and policies aimed at identifying, analyzing and responding to potential threats to the security of the state.It was determined that by analyzing state policy and the works of scientists, the following tools were identified: state control, the creation of institutional mechanisms, legislative regulation, strategic planning, foresight, international cooperation, civic activity.It is emphasized that in situations of crisis or threats to national security, civic activity appears to be a key factor in mobilizing society and overcoming negative consequences. This process plays a critical role in ensuring stability and security in the country. Citizens can actively participate in various aspects of recovery and maintaining stability in times of crisis. They can help victims by providing necessary assistance and support. This can include material assistance, volunteer work, as well as psychological support for those affected by the crisis. It is emphasized that citizens can interact with governmental and non-governmental organizations to jointly implement measures to counter threats. They can participate in the development and implementation of programs and projects aimed at preventing crisis situations or reducing their consequences. Civic activism can manifest itself in mobilizing public opinion in support of government measures and strategies in the field of national security. Citizens can advocate for the need to take certain measures or express their support for measures aimed at preventing crisis situations. If in the given contexts the Ukrainian nation mobilized in conditions of war, then the actual mobilization to the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in recent years demonstrates the decline and unwillingness of the population to fulfill their constitutional duty.
