Recommendations on the Adaptation of the Regulatory and Legal Field in the Field of Military Security of Ukraine for the Implementation of Methodological Foundations for Assessing the State and Level of Military Security of the State
Abstract
Purpose. To develop recommendations for the adaptation of the regulatory and legal framework in the field of Ukraine’s military security through the implementation of methodological foundations for assessing the state and level of the state’s military security.
Method. The research is based on a comprehensive methodological approach that includes analysis of Ukrainian regulatory and legal acts in the field of national and military security; the comparative legal method; the system analysis method; and the logical-structural method.
Results of the research. The research results include: a proposed system of national interests in the field of military security; drafted amendments to Ukrainian legislation in the field of national and military security; clarification of key concepts (state and level of military security, national interests); identification of principles for the functioning of the military security system; substantiation of a mechanism for cyclical monitoring, including through situational centers; and justification of the need for a separate section of the law dedicated to the state’s military security system.
Theoretical implications. The theoretical value lies in the development of a conceptual model of the state’s military security system; the substantiation of new approaches to determining the state and level of military security based on national interests; clarification of the conceptual and categorical framework, which was previously fragmented; and the advancement of scientific foundations for the legal support of military security under conditions of large-scale armed aggression.
Practical implications. The practical significance is reflected in the possibility to: legally formalize procedures for assessing the state of military security; improve the effectiveness of interaction among actors in the security and defense sector; strengthen the operational response to military threats at the national level; standardize terminology and management approaches in the activities of public authorities; and ensure integration with NATO systems based on the principle of interoperability.
Paper type. Analytical research article with elements of applied legislative design.
