The article examines the activities of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine in the context of ensuring national interests and information security of the state. In the third year of the full-scale, combined with a hybrid component, the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the issue of information sovereignty becomes a critical element of the country's overall security. Attention is focused on the role of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine as a key body responsible for the formation and implementation of state policy in the fields of culture, information policy, and national heritage. The article analyzes the organizational and legal foundations of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine, its functions and tasks. Special attention is paid to the legal and regulatory aspects of the functioning of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine, its evolution, as well as interaction with other state authorities, in particular the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting. Since the Constitution of Ukraine does not provide for a specific department responsible for information security, the functions of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine are regulated by secondary legislation and specific laws, such as the Law of Ukraine "On National Security of Ukraine" and the Law of Ukraine "On Media". The study emphasizes that the Information Security Strategy of Ukraine, approved in 2021, defines key threats and tasks in the field of information sovereignty. It also lays the foundation for coordinated actions of all subjects of state policy in countering destructive informational influences. The significance of the Information Security Strategy as an important regulatory document defining the basics of protection against external and internal threats is outlined. The Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine, among other tasks, forms and publishes a list of persons who pose threats to national security. The problem of separation of powers in the field of information security is analyzed. At the same time, it is emphasized that information security remains one of the key priorities of national security, particularly in the context of countering disinformation and other negative informational influences. It is emphasized that strengthening cooperation between authorities and civil society is key to ensuring a stable information space and forming a favorable environment for the protection of Ukraine's national interests. The results of the study are aimed at finding ways to increase the effectiveness of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine in the context of countering modern threats and ensuring information sovereignty.

The article explores the relationship between youth policy and civil society institutions, as well as their impact on ensuring fundamental national interests targeted by state policies in the sphere of national security and defense. In current conditions, when the country faces numerous challenges and threats, the role of youth in strengthening national security becomes particularly significant. Youth policy is regarded as an important element of the humanitarian space that promotes the formation of a resilient and patriotic society capable of effectively countering internal and external threats. This necessitates new approaches to shaping policies aimed at integrating youth into processes of socioeconomic and political development. An important aspect of the conducted research is the identification of mechanisms through which youth policy can contribute to strengthening national security. Specifically, emphasis is placed on the role of youth civil organizations as significant actors in this process, fostering the development of active civic engagement, patriotism, and increasing the level of social responsibility among youth. Youth civil organizations, like civil society institutions, can act as partners to the state in addressing socio-economic and political issues that directly affect national security. The conducted research provides grounds to argue that youth policy can be an instrument for strengthening national security through supporting youth initiatives and integrating youth into decision-making processes. The adoption of a series of normative legal acts and program documents regarding the legal support of the implementation of youth policy, unfortunately, did not completely solve deep-seated problems (paternalism; lack of dialectical connection between programmatic documents and legislative acts; inefficiency and a formal approach to monitoring, etc.). The Euro-integration direction of Ukrainian policy dictates not only the normative establishment of “participation-based policy” but also the implementation of advanced European practices.

The scientific article examines issues related to the determination of the essence, role and meaning of definitions in the regulatory and legal regulation of economic security. The uniqueness of the phenomenon of economic security is emphasized, which is the guarantor of ensuring the national interests of the state, society, and the individual in the economic sphere and the basis for the unhindered implementation of the state’s strategic national priorities. Ensuring these interests and implementing strategic priorities is possible through the creation of effective legal regulation, which includes various legal means, in particular, regulatory prescriptions. It is pointed out the important role of definitions in normative and legal regulation, which contain definitions of concepts as integral elements of the legal basis for ensuring economic security. It is noted that the legal definitions of the concepts have a universally binding nature and contribute to the formation of a single legal space. The functions of legal definitions in the normative and legal regulation of ensuring economic security are revealed. An attempt was made to evaluate the conceptual and categorical apparatus in the analyzed field from the point of view of the universality of the relevant definitions, the completeness of their textual expression, as well as state policy. It is noted that the current security legislation does not contain a legislative definition of key concepts in the field of ensuring economic security. In this regard, the problem of unification of the conceptual and categorical apparatus in the field of ensuring economic security by adopting the main strategic planning documents is raised. In the opinion of the author, taking into account the main approaches of the legislation to the definition of national interests, the legal concept of “economic security”, similar to the definition of “state security”, should reflect a certain state of the state, under which conditions are created to ensure the appropriate state of security of the economic system of Ukraine. The expediency of developing a new Strategy for the sustainable development of the economy of Ukraine for the post-war period was emphasized, which would not only determine the ways to achieve goals and implement priorities of national interests in the field of ensuring economic security and foresee the main challenges and threats, but also contain a legal definition of “economic security” and such its components, such as “financial security”, “foreign economic security”, “investment and innovation security”, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is indicated in a legal state, regulation of interaction between members of society, coordination of their interests and smoothing of conflicts arising between them and their associations is unthinkable without law. With the help of the influence of law on social relations, it is possible to order and regulate them in a civilized manner. In the sphere of achieving a state of security, the law allows you to set the limits of what is permitted, to determine the obligations and prohibitions in the behavior of the relevant subjects. Due to regulatory legal regulation, security receives a unique meaning that determines the final goal of its provision, connects it with national priorities and interests of each legal entity, preventing blurring of the understanding of the essential characteristics of the basic category «national security» and its derivatives. The conducted scientific analysis of the legal regulation of the economic security system of Ukraine made it possible to conclude that it has a complex and multifaceted nature, that is, it involves the creation of a complex of legal, economic and administrative-organizational mechanisms aimed at ensuring the rights of citizens and other subjects of economic activity to protect private property, economic freedom and unimpeded implementation of economic and other economic activities. It is pointed out that the state should implement the appropriate organizational and legal provision of economic security of Ukraine, aimed at increasing the investment attractiveness of the country, eliminating offenses in the economic sphere. The analysis of regulatory legal acts made it possible to single out the following shortcomings of the legal provision of economic security of Ukraine: complexity, vagueness and inconsistency of individual legislative norms, ambiguous interpretation in their application; inconsistency between developers and lack of system of legal acts regulating economic security. It was concluded that the presence of such shortcomings indicates the need to modify approaches to the formation of legal support for the economic security of the state, to make changes to the current legislation.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems of formation of national interests and values and their social awareness during the years of independence. It is noted that the study of Ukrainian national interests and values and their social awareness during the years of independence is quite appropriate and relevant within the limits of both theoretical and methodological problems and practical tasks of national political science at the current stage of the development of Ukrainian society.A theoretical analysis of Ukrainian national interests and values is carried out, as well as an analysis of the problems of their formation and awareness by the population of Ukraine in the conditions of state independence. The categorical and terminological apparatus regarding national interests and values is considered. A classification of the main Ukrainian national interests in the conditions of war is proposed. From Ukrainian national interests, it is proposed to derive the content of Ukrainian national values.Based on the results of sociological researches, the dynamics of the attitude of Ukrainian citizens to the model of national interests and values is considered. It is pointed out that fundamental values and priorities, by which the developed nations of the world live, have been deformed, devalued or eliminated in the country as hopeless. It was noted that Ukrainians are experiencing deep spiritual reconstruction, spiritual renewal. It is noted that Ukraine is in a situation where there is no complete system of national values and ideals, and there are antagonistic values in various social systems of Ukrainian society.Conclusions are provided and perspectives regarding the scientific study of awareness of Ukrainian national interests at the current stage of social development are considered.

The purpose of this publication is to study scientific approaches to understanding the conception of global economic security. The analysis of current foreign and domestic sources made it possible to classify the scientific approaches of different authors regarding the essence and features of the conception of economic security: as a process of meeting needs; from the point of view of protecting the national interests of a particular country, business entities, individuals; as a state of the system-based object; as a condition for sustainable development; as features of the system elements; as a system for preventing harm; as a manifestation of an integrity of security measures; in terms of economic sustainability and sovereignty of a country; as an aggregate of conditions and factors; as a dynamic development of a system component. It is determined that the conception of global economic security covers a wide range of interrelated issues and elements, such as investment verification, instruments to counteract coercion, research integrity, and stability of supply chains. When focusing on supply chain stability, three main issues should be considered. It is found that the regimes of national economic security require a balance between defensive and offensive policies depending on the specific conditions of the country. The main factors in developing strategies are national security interests and competitive advantages in certain sectors of the trade. Transparency and information exchange between countries is the first step towards meaningful international cooperation on economic security issues. This is crucial to avoid creating protectionist economic weapons that countries can use against rivals. It is defined that in a rapidly changing world, the issue of global economic security becomes the most open and at the same time of responsibility in case of calling and responding to problems caused by various factors of society life as a subject of international economic relations, developing effective mechanisms for dealing with challenges in the sectoral economic parts of the institution of economy.

The article considers the main theoretical aspects of the creation of Ukraine’s nation branding. The construction and development of a nation branding as a PR tool used in public administration is analysed. It is noted that the promotion of Ukrainian national interests is a strategic investment in the future. The success of economic growth and the dynamic development of relations with other states largely depend on how the brand of the state is formed and promoted in the Ukrainian and world markets. It is emphasised that the transformation and popularisation of the Ukraine’s nation brand should meet the challenges of the time, be coordinated and purposeful. In particular, it is necessary to establish cooperation between the public and private sectors, including representatives of the business community, culture, education, and mass media since the nation branding is also intrusted with the task of countermeasures against Russian disinformation for Ukrainian and foreign audiences in the situation of military aggression by Russia. The greater there is trust in the brand of Ukraine as the state, the higher there is trust in the information that is produced by both governmental and non-governmental organisations in Ukraine. The article points out that today Ukraine has much more opportunities for direct and effective communication with Western audiences. Meaningful and emotional speeches of the President of Ukraine at parliamentary platforms in different countries of the world give representatives of the elite and the general public a fairly objective picture of what is happening in Ukraine. Perhaps for the first time in the history of Ukrainian independence, the way Ukraine is perceived by Western consumers, is determined by objective reality, not by Russian narratives.

The article analyzes the problems of ensuring human security through the prism of international legal protection. Approaches to understanding the concept of «human security» in domestic research and in international law are revealed. Emphasis is placed on the special role of the UN in the field of ensuring and protecting human rights. It is noted that the ideas of human security began to develop thanks to the activities of the United Nations, a special group of researchers. In 1994, the report of the UN Development Program was devoted exclusively to human security. The report proposed to develop the idea of expanding the interpretation of the concept of personal security, distinguishing in it two interrelated factors: protection from unexpected and harmful disruptions of everyday life (known as «freedom from fear») and protection from constant threats of hunger, disease, crime and oppression (known as «freedom from want»). Seven separate components of personal security were further distinguished: economic, food, health security, environmental security, personal security (freedom from physical violence and threats), minority security, political security (protection of basic human rights and freedoms). In addition, the article raised the issue of ensuring human security in the conditions of armed conflicts, in particular, the war in Ukraine. Advantages and disadvantages of UN activities in this area are considered. Problems are singled out, without the solution of which it is impossible to fully ensure human rights, especially in the field of their unlawful restriction. Therefore, options for solving these problems are proposed. It was emphasized that in the current conditions, cooperation, support and mediation of international organizations in the settlement of the military conflict is important for Ukraine. The priority in the order of resolution of armed conflicts in Ukraine should belong to the United Nations - the main intergovernmental international organization that supports peace and security throughout the world. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which took place on February 24, 2022, shook the security situation in Europe and around the world. This war has already been called the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Economic interdependence between countries is becoming increasingly higher in the rapid process of integration and globalization. This helps economic diplomacy to become an important part of international relations. It is a necessary and effective tool for ensuring international competitiveness, as it is aimed at developing economic and trade relations between countries, attracting foreign investments and protecting national economic interests. The ability to establish connections and find allies becomes even more important in times of war, internal economic crisis, various political unrest, social problems and Ukraine's loss of the image of a reliable partner in the international arena. It is also about the art of diplomacy and the protection of national interests through partnerships with foreign entities. Conversely, protection of economic interests is also a direction of economic diplomacy. This study aims to understand how economic diplomacy and its tools contribute to the attraction of foreign direct investment in the economy of countries, including Ukraine. The focus of this study will be on the concept of «economic diplomacy» and «foreign direct investment», and the classification of Ukraine's national interests and the ways of their implementation against the background of global crises will also be highlighted. The main directions of domestic economic diplomacy will be analyzed: promoting the development of foreign economic and investment cooperation of Ukraine on a mutually beneficial basis, expanding international cooperation with the aim of attracting foreign investments to the national economy. In particular, the burden of the country's diplomatic representatives in solving economic problems and facilitating the needs of the country's commercial structures has increased sharply, and related issues have also developed at the multilateral level, contributing to the deepening of international cooperation between the two sides of both economic partnership and competition. It was determined that the achievement of economic diplomatic goals in Ukraine is carried out with the help of the following state authorities: the President of Ukraine and his Government, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Department of Economic Development of Ukraine.

The article, based on the analysis of the features of the content of the Anti-corruption Strategy, highlights certain shortcomings of the regulatory potential of the specified regulatory act. Their isolation gave grounds to substantiate the expediency of the legislative implementation of a specific legal institution - the institution of anti-corruption security. We propose to understand anti-corruption security as a state of protection of the national interests of Ukraine from the use of official powers or related opportunities by the subjects defined by the anti-corruption legislation for the purpose of receiving an undue benefit or accepting such a benefit or accepting a promise (offer) of such a benefit for themselves or other persons or, accordingly, a promise (offer) or provision of an unlawful benefit to a circle of subjects defined by anti-corruption legislation, or at their request to other natural or legal persons with the aim of inciting this person to unlawfully use the official powers granted to him or opportunities related to them. Since corruption is defined by the legislation of Ukraine as a threat to national security, it is suggested that those responsible for the implementation of the Anti-corruption Strategy and ensuring anti-corruption security define the President of Ukraine as a state institution responsible for the effectiveness of state policy in the field of ensuring national security and defense. It is substantiated that the introduction of the anti-corruption security institute into the legal system will contribute to the optimization of the legal policy of Ukraine in the field of anti-corruption. Therefore, the creation of a system of legal support for the anti-corruption security institute is a promising and urgent task of the state legal policy. The implementation of the anti-corruption security institute will be a factor in creating real conditions for and decorporatization of power relations at all levels and stopping the degradation and deformation of the system of legal regulators by eradicating illegal practices. The implementation of the anti-corruption security institute requires preliminary urgent scientific analysis, broad discussion and, ultimately, the adoption of a consolidated political decision by higher authorities regarding the development and adoption of a legislative framework for the implementation of the anti-corruption security institute.

The article examines the political trends in the African region in the context of Ukraine's national security, and provides recommendations to improve the situation. According to the latest version of Ukraine’s National Security Strategy, the priority in the African region has been placed on diversifying markets and strengthening Ukraine’s political support in the face of Russian aggression. A significant threat is the growing presence of the Russian Federation in the African region with its extensive usage of both force and soft power tools, which was particularly evident at the Russia-Africa summit in October 2019 and the rapid spread of demand for the Russian “Sputnik V” vaccine against COVID-19 in 2021. Another related issue is the low level of support for Ukraine’s declarations in the UN General Assembly condemning human rights violations in occupied Crimea. The UN vote on occupied Crimea is one of the main factors in assessing relations with African governments, which Russian experts clearly point out. This reality highlights the need to increase Ukraine’s diplomatic presence and political weight in the African region in order to better contain the influence of the Russian Federation. Another important task is to monitor the destructive activities of the Russian Federation often aimed at fueling chaos, which could encourage local governments to establish closer bilateral relations with Moscow. At times, Russian policy has gone as far as supporting military coups that help to increase the level of Russian military and political presence in some states (for example, the cases of Mali in May 2021 and Sudan in October 2021).Strengthening the diplomatic level of representation in the region is a priority of Ukrainian foreign policy. In addition, the separation of economic and military-political factors is a problem for Ukraine. Trade is developing mostly with the stable countries of the eastern and southern parts of Africa, while the turbulent landscape of the west and center (except Nigeria) is poorly covered by the activities of Ukrainian enterprises. However, Ukrainian peacekeeping contingents have been active in these countries for a long time (primarily in the DRC).

After the collapse of the USSR, the region of Central Asia attracted a lot of attention from politicians and entrepreneurs of Western countries, including France. The priority of the national interests of the Fifth Republic in the region is the establishment of political, economic, cultural relations with the largest Central Asian state, Kazakhstan. The purpose of the article is to analyze the history and current state of French-Kazakh relations, to study the entire complex of French interests in Kazakhstan during 1991-2021. The article proves that over the 30 years of its independence, Kazakhstan has built relations with France, observing the foundations of its traditionally multi-vector foreign policy, and France has all this time considered Kazakhstan as the main bulwark of regional stability and security. An indicator of the level of relations between the two countries was that France became the first EU country with which Kazakhstan signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2008, and in 2021 - the Roadmap for Economic and Investment Cooperation until 2030. The results of the analysis of the study indicate that the most dynamic relations between the two countries are developing in the economic sphere, and the key interests of 170 French companies are mainly associated with the joint development of large oil, gas and uranium fields. It has been proven that the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively affected the global economy, led to a significant drop in French investment activity in Kazakhstan. Another factor that will spoil bilateral relations is the pressure of the Kazakh authorities on the opposition, facts of human rights violations in Kazakhstan. The analysis presented in this article, the study of the positive and negative experience of these bilateral relations will be important for the development of appropriate strategies of international interaction for other post-Soviet countries, in particular, Ukraine.

The modern globalised world is characterised by economic independence, which is a component that measures the level of relations between countries, the content, direction and intensity of which has begun to be influenced by economic dependence. In other words, economic relations have become central to diplomatic activity, which determines the relevance of the subject matter. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of economic diplomacy in the system of modern international economic relations, to compare the theoretical model of economic diplomacy and the practice of its implementation. This paper uses the following methods: scientific abstraction; monographic, dialectical, historical-logical; structural-logical; abstract-logical; methods of regression analysis; synthesis; problem-oriented method; statistical and graphic methods. The author used a Scatter plot model and performed a regression analysis to determine which free trade area (Ukraine-EU, Ukraine-Canada, or Ukraine-Israel) affects Ukraine's GDP growth. The study model confirms the positive relationship between Ukraine's GDP growth and the growth of foreign trade turnover (FTT) between Ukraine and the EU. The linear model explains that a 1% increase in FTT affects an average 5% increase in Ukraine's GDP. At the same time, the regression model shows the opposite trend in terms of FTT between Ukraine and Canada, Ukraine and Israel. Thus, the dynamics of Ukraine's FTT with these countries does not have a significant impact on GDP. Only the growth of FTT between Ukraine and the EU indicates the effectiveness of bilateral cooperation. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that the theoretical foundations, conclusions, and recommendations obtained and formulated by the author can serve as a basis for further study of issues of economic diplomacy and for the development of such a concept of economic diplomacy, which should take into account the positions of stakeholders to balance the interests of ensuring the national economic security of the state

Introduction. Under the influence of global transformations in the world, both economic processes and the system of international relations are undergoing changes. Accordingly, modern diplomacy acquires new features, its forms and methods of conduct change, the way of presenting information about one's intentions or rejection of certain phenomena, despite the obligation to comply with protocol requirements. Therefore, the current issue is the scientific substantiation of the conceptual foundations of economic diplomacy and its role in implementing the strategic priorities of the countries' development and ensuring their economic progress. Methods. The research methodology is based on a systemic approach, according to which the tools and methods of economic diplomacy and the economic progress and strategic development of states are considered in a close relationship and causality. To solve the research tasks, both general scientific and special methods of scientific research were used, in particular: the method of going from the abstract to the concrete, analysis and synthesis, generalization and analogy, conceptual and logical analysis, the historical method in combination with the methods of empirical research and international comparative studies. The results. The role of economic diplomacy in the economic development of countries is substantiated. Conceptual approaches to the concept of "economic diplomacy" are defined, and its role in the implementation of the strategic priorities of the countries' development is revealed. It is argued that economic diplomacy acquires a new character and covers wider areas. It is substantiated that the processes of economic integration force more active use of the tools of economic diplomacy. The peculiarities of the experience of some countries in the implementation of strategic development priorities using the tools of economic diplomacy are revealed. The strategic vectors and goals of economic diplomacy in promoting the national interests of countries are outlined. As a result of the conducted research, the conceptual foundations of economic diplomacy were scientifically substantiated; its role in implementing the strategic priorities of the development of individual countries and ensuring their economic progress is argued; the strategic vectors and goals of economic diplomacy in promoting the national interests of states are outlined. Discussion. The obtained research results can be used for further scientific developments regarding the improvement of the theoretical basis of economic diplomacy and its influence on economic progress.

A comprehensive theoretical and legal study of the transformation of ideas about the nature of national security reform in domestic jurisprudence has been carried out. The author has defined the priorities and directions of the reform in the field of national security and, more importantly, its theoretical and methodological basis. It has been determined that the main object of the reform in the field of national security is the whole complex of public relations, which is subject to special protection by the system of entities of ensuring national security. The system of such social relations is centered around the defining national interests, which usually include the vital interests of a man, society and the state and the implementation of which ensures the state sovereignty, its progressive development, and safe living conditions and welfare of citizens. It has been noted that the main purpose of national security reform is to improve legislation and governance in the national security sector, which can provide qualitative strengthening in accordance with current and future needs of society to protect key national interests from external and internal real and potential threats. It has been concluded that national security is not considered in modern, both domestic and international science, exclusively as an “acquisition” and a sphere of monopoly responsibility of the state; we cannot eliminate the active participation of civil society structures, which should exercise public control over the course of such a reform and, if necessary, should have the tools of close communication with state authorities at the stage of initiating the reform, constructing its goals and objectives, directions and perspectives and at the stages of its implementation. Restriction of the capacity of the state, especially in times of economic crisis, highlights the need to optimize the participation of non-government actors in ensuring national security. Obviously, such activity of the non-governmental sector should be strongly encouraged by legislative instruments, legitimizing measures for national security reform through its close involvement and providing them with additional public support.

Conceptual principles of the strategic planning are set forth in the field of safety of state boundary of Ukraine, that include the concept of the strategic planning in the field of safety of state boundary, her aim, principles and model. Origin of the new threats of national safety, related to "hybrid" aggression of Russian against Ukraine, to temporal occupation by her Crimea, kindling of the armed conflict in the east regions of Ukraine, realization of the events sent to destabilization of political and economic situation in Ukraine, development of terrorism and by the threat of his distribution territory of Ukraine, transformations that take place in the sector of safety and defensive stipulated an urgent requirement in a revision and determination of new aims, priorities and tasks on development frontier organization Ukraine, and also revision existent strategic document. In addition, the necessity of creation of the new system of defence of border appeared with Russian and other contiguous states as a guarantee of state sovereignty and providing of national safety, introductions of the European standards of the integrated management by borders. Determination of concept, principles, aim and model of the strategic planning in the field of safety of state boundary of Ukraine offers authors. In the context of this research, under providing of safety of state boundary of Ukraine the process of defence of national interests is understood on a state boundary, and also, making the systems of providing of national safety. For today, strategic planning in the field of safety of state boundary of Ukraine, as the mechanism of state administration, sent to providing of counteraction to the present and potential threats of national safety, that comes true in interests a frontier department, other law enforcement authorities and soldiery forming, and also executive, enterprises, establishments and organizations activity of that is related to national safety bodies.

The article is devoted to the study of a comprehensive assessment of the level of information security as a basis for timely and reasonable determination of measures to prevent and overcome the negative consequences in the event of potential risks and threats. It is substantiated that in the context of information and hybrid wars, strengthening information security is a prerequisite for the protection of national economic interests. The formation of a security-oriented information environment, ensuring the security of state information resources, information with restricted access, in particular that circulating on the objects of economic information infrastructure is the basis of the national security of the country. The absence of a unified approach to assessing the level of information security is noted and the author's approach based on the use of qualitative indicator indicators of information security with the use of quantization, smoothing and normalization methods is proposed. It is proposed to define the following subindices of the integral indicator of information security: development of the state policy in the field of information security; monitoring and analysis of threats to the information environment; education and advanced training in the field of information security, including cyberspace; contribution to global information security, protection of digital services and basic services in cyberspace, electronic identification services, personal data protection; fight against cybercrime and military cyber operations. The results of the correlation and regression analysis made it possible to establish that information and economic security have the potential to provide synergistic effects. The necessity of ensuring the formation of a security-oriented information environment as a basis for the realization of national interests is substantiated, which creates new opportunities for strengthening the security of the national economy in the face of increasing influence of internal and external destabilizing factors.

It is widely recognised that climate change is having malign effects on human life. Climate change is a global issue, but the political action necessary to address it is inevitably local and national as well as international. The security dilemma is one of the most important theoretical ideas in international relations. The content of security policy is evolving because "security" is a social structure, the content and structure of which is constantly changing depending on the transformation of existing and the emergence of new threats and challenges (climate change, destruction of the ozone layer, desertification, fresh water shortages, etc. - the list of current environmental problems in the XXI century is increasingly supplemented by new threats. Scholars, policy-makers, and activists have proposed broadening use of the concept security beyond its traditional military focus to take into account environmental threats that seriously jeopardize human well-being. This paper explores how ecological and climate problems have fundamentally changed the way we think about security. The non-physical security, diversification of threats, and the salience of identity are key effects of globalization in the security realm. These security effects translate into certain behavioral tendencies in a Germany foreign policy that have thus far not been studied in the literature. The claim that environmental factors should be integrated into the concept of security was first made in the early 1980s. In the late twentieth - early twenty-first century the concept of security has been expanded and applied to address many of the most important issues of international relations theory and security policy. Environmental issues are not only to be treated as non-military threats to the security of societies, but can also work to promote cooperation and peace-building. In modern conditions, the ability of the state system to respond to environmental hazards is criticized, and therefore fundamentally different management structures are proposed as a replacement for it. Therefore, targeted climate protection policies at the international and regional levels, as well as at the national and local levels, are needed to effectively address environmental and climate threats and challenges. Germany positions itself as a regional and world leader in the field of environmental protection and climate. The idea of ​​caring for the environment is gradually becoming an essential element of the value system, legal culture and national identity of German society and the state, which it not only promotes both in the European Communities / European Union and beyond, but also consistently protects. Within the framework of the EU environmental policy, there is room for independent national action by the German government. This guarantees Germany a free choice of national strategies in promoting environmental policy.

Abstract. The existence of threats to economic security can become a factor in the development of an imbalance in the functioning of economic entities of any level of activity. Support and patronage of constant indicators of economic security today is one of the main tasks of state policy, since the economic sphere has both direct and indirect impact on various types of national security. Only under the condition of full provision of all aspects of security is it possible to implement a programmed economic growth, improve the standard of living of ordinary citizens, as well as the all-round development of all spheres of the state. For today's economy of the state, in the context of the desire to be a full-fledged member of the world economic society, it is especially important to solve the problem of ensuring continuous socio-economic development, creating mechanisms to counter exogenous and endogenous threats, improving the welfare of citizens, as well as developing a powerful system of international economic relations. The degree of influence of exogenous and endogenous threats on the level of the country's economic security is variable, taking into account the dynamic conditions of the life of society, the national and world economy. The task is to form a model of countering the main threats to economic security in the context of protecting national interests. The main purpose of the study is the formation of a methodological approach to countering the main threats to economic security in the context of protecting national interests. The research methodology includes the use of a graphical method to reflect the main results of the study. Also, from the general methods, the abstract-logical method should be distinguished, which was used to form appropriate conclusions based on the results of the study. Of the specific ones, let us single out the modeling method, which made it possible to form an appropriate composition of the main ways to counter the main threats to economic security in the context of protecting national interests. Keywords: security, economic security, threats, countering threats, national interests. JEL Classification G28, F60, F52 Formulas: 0; fig.: 3; tabl.: 0; bibl.:12. .

The article substantiates a comprehensive study of theoretical and practical problems of ensuring the national interests and territorial integrity of Ukraine in the context of crisis management, modern transformational changes in the field of public administration. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the complex of national interests are analyzed, the concept and essence of public government activities in the field of national interests and the preservation of territorial integrity are determined. The concept, essence and elements of ensuring national interests in public administration are defined. Based on the analysis of studies of domestic and foreign scientists, it is proposed that research approaches to the formation of a complex of national interests be divided into the following areas: the first direction involves a combination of international and national parts of the qualification of problems in the field of national interests, based on regulation by international legal acts, which are set forth in the form decisions and resolutions of international organizations, and on this basis a generalization of the concept of "national interests sys ”, based on constitutional norms, regulations on the functioning of managerial structures, provisions of relevant legislative acts, specifics of geopolitical status, membership in international and intergovernmental organizations. The second direction is based on establishing the institutional characteristics of formalizing national interests and provides for a combination of political, socio-economic and security components, and is now complemented by factors of military-political and military-economic cooperation. The third area is based on a modern understanding of the concept of "security and territorial integrity of the state." In the framework of this direction, the mutual influence of national security factors, the identification of threats to state sovereignty and territorial integrity are investigated, and the country's geopolitical status is determined. The fourth direction is based on a comprehensive study of the features of ensuring national interests in open or latent armed conflicts. The content of legal norms as an element of the mechanism for ensuring national interests and territorial integrity in the field of public administration is analyzed.

Among the scientific issues facing the Ukrainian legal community at the present stage, problems in the field of national security law is of particular relevance and practical importance. It is caused, first of all, by the need for systematic reform of the security and defense sector of Ukraine, which is aimed at ensuring the the constitutional order, sovereignty, territorial integrity of Ukraine in the conditions of armed aggression. Of course, researches in that sphere should not be limited by certain subject directions in the development and resolution of complex problems in particular of national security law. Since independence, there has been no systematic assessment of direct or indirect influence of the national security doctrine on legal regulation of the security sphere in Ukraine. As a result of ignoring the issue on identifying potential opponents of Ukraine and threats caused by them, government, while making security policy, was largely driven by subjective considerations, ignoring existing and potential threats to national security. As a result, it was impossible to properly assess the consequences of political decisions taken in the field of national security.

Urgency of the research. The national idea has always been an important factor in consolidating and spiritually uniting Ukrainians as a political nation and defining their identity. Today, it is also a key factor in the revival of a new, independent, free Ukraine, which testifies to its formative, constructive and creative mission. In difficult times of history, the very awareness of the national idea helps a person to realize his place and role in shaping the future of his nation. These circumstances determine the relevance of the study of the Ukrainian national idea at the crucial stages of development of Ukrainian society, which is the main factor that sets the basic guidelines for the future historical path of the nation and integrates it around these guidelines, especially in times of crisis. Target setting. The history of our state confirms that the national idea has never been a permanent, complete phenomenon. The uniqueness and uniqueness of each nation depends on the national idea, which, as an internal engine, moves the country to progressive change, preserving the nation as such. The specificity of the national idea is that it helps a person to realize the meaning of belonging to their country, its long-term goal and the means to achieve it by the joint efforts of the whole nation. That is why the process of complex evolution of the Ukrainian national idea, which is constantly dominated by the idea of preserving ethnic identity in this context, needs serious research. This process began in the days of Kievan Rus and is extremely relevant today to solve many problems of development of the Ukrainian nation. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. S. Krymsky, M. Popovych, L. Gubersky, V. Andrushchenko, M. Mykhalchenko, Yu. Zerniy, F. Medvid, A. Fartushny, Yu. Rymarenko, L. Shklyar, S. Rymarenko, M. Rozumny, M. Stepyko, O. Maiboroda and other domestic researchers analyzed the problem of defending national identity and forming a national idea in their scientific works. They stressed that the Ukrainian national idea determines statehood, identity, independence, sovereignty, catholicity and should contribute to the construction of a truly civil society and the consolidation of modern Ukraine on a democratic basis. Despite the high level of existing theoretical developments, the problem of forming the content of the national idea and its implementation in the context of modern Ukraine remains unresolved. The research objective. To reveal the role of the national idea in the era of the Ukrainian Baroque as a decisive stage in the formation of the Ukrainian nation. To analyze the main ideas of building the Ukrainian national idea in the context of the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood. To determine the role and significance of the creative work of M. Drahomanov in the development of the Ukrainian national idea, this has a deep connection with the history of the people, its mentality and traditions. Investigate the essence of Ivan Franko's concept of the Ukrainian political nation as a component of the Ukrainian national idea and its role in building an independent Ukraine. The statement of basic materials. The article analyzes the specifics of the Ukrainian Baroque era, which stimulated the formation of the Ukrainian nation and the Ukrainian national idea, which acted as a unity of "physical sword" and "spiritual sword". The historical mission of Ukrainian civilization at that time, which was closely connected with the Cossacks, who embodied the spirit of freedom, free individuality, protection of the homeland from external and internal enemies, is revealed. It is believed that the Zaporozhian Sich, as a spiritual component of the Cossacks, demonstrated not only the strength and power of the Cossack shablyuk, but also was an example of patriotism, courage, high moral virtues inherent in knights. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the educational activities of the fraternities and, above all, the KyivMohyla Academy as a fortress of spirituality. M. Drahomanov’s powerful contribution to the development of the Ukrainian national idea, which should be deeply connected with the history of the people, its mentality and traditions, has been studied. The significance of the role of the figure of Ivan Franko, who was one of the first in the Ukrainian political thought of the XIX-XX centuries to form the concept of the Ukrainian political nation as the main component of the national idea, is revealed. Conclusions. The most powerful Ukrainian national idea, which originated in Kievan Rus, manifested itself during the Ukrainian Baroque. The national idea in this day has acquired a double meaning: first, it is the Cossacks, as the main force in the defense of the Ukrainian state; secondly, the spiritual activity of the fraternities and the KyivMohyla Academy. The new stage of development of the Ukrainian national idea is connected with the activity of the Cyril and Methodius Society and the program document of this organization, presented by M. Kostomarov in the "Book of the Existence of the Ukrainian people". M. Drahomanov made a powerful contribution to the development of the Ukrainian national idea, emphasizing the need for a deep connection with the history of the people, their mentality and traditions. In the XIX-XX centuries the figure of Ivan Franko became fundamental in continuing the formation of the concept of the Ukrainian political nation as the main component of the national idea. Nowadays, the formation of the essence and content of the Ukrainian national idea is in a state of search. After all, the process of forming the Ukrainian national idea is a complex and incomplete phenomenon. It is influenced by such factors as: cultural and historical heritage; understanding of historical reality; system of national interests, which change depending on internal and external transformation processes. The development and effective implementation of the national idea depends on the observance of such priority factors as humanism, democratization and orientation to the values of civil society, the social nature of reforms, the priority of national interests over global ones, strengthening the state's authority, economy, etc. The basis of all these processes must remain the unique spirituality, culture and humanity inherent in the Ukrainian nation.

The article considers the phenomenon of legal reform in the sphere of national security on the example of modern Ukraine through the prism of modern theoretical jurisprudence and national security science. Such a reform is studied as an invariant of legal reforms, which is subject to all the general laws of initiating, organizing and conducting legal reform as a generic phenomenon. It was found that such a reform appears as a complex, multifaceted social phenomenon that reflects a certain level of general theoretical legal thought and national security, features of legal science, the state of legislative and conceptual developments on this issue, based on which it can be considered in various aspects. It is concluded that the legal reform in the sphere of national security provides for systematic, scientifically sound, socially acceptable and justified changes: 1) in the legislation that guarantees national security and protects national interests; 2) in the structure, organization and activities of public authorities and other entities responsible for ensuring national security, in the system of their functions and powers, as well as in the ways (forms, methods) of their implementation; 3) in the qualitative strengthening of the state of protection of the whole array of public relations, centered around national security and covered by the object of reform, from external and internal, real and potential threats. Thus, the reform of national security appears in the unity of three components: normative-legal (regulatory), managerial (subjective) and object (change of the sphere of public relations in the field of national security). It is proved that the reform of national security should take place in the legal plane, by legal means, with the involvement of those constructive elements and developments that have been made within the framework of both general theoretical jurisprudence and branch legal sciences. It is revealed that, from the procedural point of view, this reform is a set of measures initiated, organized and carried out by authorized subjects of national security (usually by higher state authorities) in accordance with existing public needs, lead to significant changes in legal, institutional and/or functional subsystems of national security, which leads to a qualitatively higher level of protection of national interests from real and potential, internal and external threats. Instead, in the institutional sense, such a reform should streamline and rationalize the activities of the state apparatus, in all its necessary components, to implement measures aimed at bringing the entire national security system of Ukraine in line with social needs, ensuring its institutional capacity constantly (continuously), effectively and timely respond (respond) to challenges to national interests, actively and consistently protect these interests both within the state and abroad, and so on.

Foreign policy articulates and gears the process of pursuit of national interests. The research aims at looking into the diverse foreign policies of various states in the Southern region of Africa. It brings out the nature of Namibia and Zimbabwe interaction with other countries in Europe, America, Asia (China in particular) and even other African countries through what is being induced in their respective foreign policy agenda. African countries, belonging to the «global south» are characterized with under development due to long experience of war which renders them dependent on the «core» or «global north» for co-operation and interaction. A country’s foreign policy is peculiar to it, as it represents the interests of a country which is usually distinctive in nature. It is safe to say that foreign policy can be likened to an organizational set of objectives. Basically, an organizational set of objectives entails the processes of goal attainment. Based on this, foreign policy is an agenda that enlists national interests, and ways to attaining them. It is noteworthy that Zimbabwe and Namibia hold strong ties with their colonial masters. Both countries have strong foreign relations with the country that colonized them far more than with other countries. Zimbabwe has got strong ties with Britain and Namibia has got strong ties with Germany. Over the years, the efficiency of Zimbabwe and Namibia foreign policy has been undermined by conflict. The study reveals the development in Namibia and Zimbabwe is attributed to their relations with other countries of the world. Mainly, in the areas of finding market for locally made products and in the aspects of attracting foreign investors. A major issue that jets itself into the foreign policy agenda of both of these countries is the issue of security both domestically and internationally. However, the reason is no foreign policy can be successful in area of chaos, unrest and hunger. A potent foreign policy is that which is flexible, versatile and serves the interest of all, the formulation of policies based on these criteria will ensure efficiency and ultimately development.

This article examines the role of social sciences to maintain national safety. The research is based on the concept of the four stages of spiritual growth of a human-being, which under different concepts passes from the ancient philosophy to the philosophy of I. Kant, J. Fichte, G. Hegel. It has been proved that a ground of the crisis in Ukraine is the domination of the mediocre person, who is incapable of conceptual and critical thinking. Social sciences, based on outdated ideas and views of a human being, form a dependent and mediocre person, while society lacks a critical mass of mature individuals. This article suggests the teaching of social sciences to base on the concept of four stages of human spiritual growth, national values and interests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The status of counteracting the activity of agents of influence in Ukraine has been separately investigated.

In particular, to increase transparency of financial flows, it is suggested to consider expanding the scope of declaring. At present, it covers only civil servants and individual representatives of the non-governmental sector. The necessity of adaptation of norms of the Criminal Procedure Code to the real needs of counterintelligence structures in the part of formation of adequate procedural norms for crimes against the bases of national security is substantiated.

The modern world is characterized by rapid integration and globalization processes, which have both a positive and a negative impact on the development of each country. National economies operate in the midst of global uncertainty, which is becoming the platform for the formation and implementation of the State economic policy, which should not only describe the conditions for strategic development of country but also adequately respond to the risks emerging out of the complex integration processes. The failure of the State to respond in a timely and adequate manner to the risks will result in lesser benefits and positive effects of integration processes than the impact of destabilizing factors. In such circumstances, economic sovereignty becomes the most important instrument of the State through which it can defend its national economic interests and form an effective economic policy.

The article attempts to outline the main challenges and threats to the national interests in the late XXth – early XXIst century on the example of the USA and Canada. A review of the period from the end of the Cold War to the present day in two major dimensions, axiological and geographic, has been carried out. The former is focused on identifying the basic and essential features of those threats and challenges which are distinguished for the American and Canadian foreign policies. This dimension has been analyzed within the context of core values to which American and Canadian politicians appeal on both domestic and international arenas. The latter outlines those major regions detached as menacing the United States and Canada. Both leading democratic states combine “national” and “international” values in substantiating of their foreign policy. The basic democratic and universal human values are subject to special attention. It is generalized that the main modern dangers for both countries represent mostly axiological, not geographic dimension. That is why among the main threats to the American and Canadian national interests one can distinguish those as follows: terrorism, climate change, proliferation of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, challenges to the cyber-security, uncontrolled migration, international crime, failed states etc. It is concluded that the universal nature of the values, the protection of which is the basis of the current foreign policy of both states, is coherent to the universal nature of the dangers that arise for the American and Canadian national interests.
