THE INFLUENCE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE SPHERE OF CULTURE ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF UKRAINE AS AN EXAMPLE OF MAJOR CULTURAL EVENTS AS SOCIAL INNOVATIONS

Abstract

The awareness of one's national identity, the preservation of national traditions, as well as the development of the creative potential of Ukrainians is a guarantor of the development of the state and national security of Ukraine. State policy should prioritize the preservation of the nation's cultural identity, as well as the issue of cultural identity in general. The Law of Ukraine on National Security protects the principles of statehood, including the national interests of Ukraine, rather than just infrastructure facilities. The law defines vital interests as those of a person, society, and the state, with the function of upholding Ukraine's sovereignty. Festivals, educational programs, forums, and literary and musical competitions are particularly important, as they can serve as platforms for the development and preservation of national culture, which is a crucial aspect of Ukraine's national security. The article analyzes the relationship between major cultural events of regional and national importance and national security, providing arguments to support the fact that culture is of great importance to national security.
