INTERACTION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION BODIES IN THE SPHERE OF UKRAINE’S NATIONAL SECURITY: COORDINATION PROBLEMS AND WAYS OF IMPROVEMENT

DOI: 10.52363/passa-2025.1-15

Abstract

The article examines the issues of coordination between public administration bodies in the field of internal security in Ukraine, using the example of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES). The systematic organization and powers of key entities ensuring the internal security of the state are analyzed. The main shortcomings of interagency interaction are identified, in particular, duplication of functions, lack of effective mechanisms for information exchange, unclear distribution of powers between the national and local levels of government, and insufficient synchronization of actions during response to emergencies. Based on the analysis of real cases from the practice of the SES functioning in the conditions of modern challenges, a set of management solutions is proposed to increase the effectiveness of coordination: the creation of unified interagency operational centers, the implementation of integrated information and analytical systems, the improvement of the regulatory and legal framework for interagency interaction, the development of standardized protocols for joint actions, the formation of a system of continuous training of personnel for work in interagency coordination. Promising directions for the digitalization of internal security management processes and the possibilities of adapting positive European experience to Ukrainian realities have been identified.

Keywords: public administration, internal security, interagency coordination, State Emergency Service of Ukraine, emergency response, institutional interaction, information exchange, operational centers, legal framework, digitalization, personnel training, European experience.
