IMPROVING INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION IN THE FIELD OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL SECURITY OF UKRAINE UNDER MARTIAL LAW

DOI: 10.52363/passa-2025.2-11

Abstract

The article examines the problems of interdepartmental coordination in the sphere of national security of Ukraine under martial law. Russian aggression has exacerbated the issue of effective interaction between government bodies, especially when responding to emergencies of a natural and man-made nature.
The purpose of the work is to identify key shortcomings of the existing coordination system and propose ways to improve it through the implementation of modern management mechanisms, digital technologies, and the adaptation of European practices.
The article analyzes the theoretical foundations of interdepartmental coordination in the system of public management of national security, examines the current state of coordination mechanisms with an emphasis on the activities of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and identifies systemic problems in the interaction of departments during response to crisis situations.
The study demonstrated that effective coordination necessitates the establishment of a unified information and analytical framework, standardization of interaction protocols, and a clear delineation of responsibilities. Specific mechanisms for improvement are proposed: the creation of integrated crisis management centers, the implementation of the "single window" principles, and the development of a culture of interagency cooperation.

Keywords: European integration, interdepartmental coordination, public administration, national security, martial law, emergencies, State Emergency Service of Ukraine, information, communications, digital technologies.
