ОСНОВНІ ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ СВІТОВОЇ КОСМІЧНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ В ІНТЕРЕСАХ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ ТА ОБОРОНИ

In recent decades, space, like land, sea, air and cyberspace, has become a platform for the confronting between powerful states, which has led to a change in the nature of action in the near-Earth space of a number of countries. The consequence of space activities was that the geographical location ceased to be dominant in international relations. Unfortunately, the national space activity has not become an effective tool for achieving the geopolitical goals of Ukraine, ensuring the fulfillment of tasks in the interests of national security and defense. In this regard, it is important to analyze current trends in the development of space activities in the world in the security sector, the results of which should be the basis for the introduction of best international experience in domestic practice. The article analyzes the directions of use of outer space, space products and services by leading countries in the interests of security and defense. The main trends of development of space activity are defined: globalization in connection with the increasing number of space states; expansion of partnership with simultaneous aspirations for autonomy in this sphere; emergence of inspection technologies for orbital means, etc. Space capabilities in the interests of national security and defense are considered, in particular the usage of military and civilian, intelligence and commercial space systems and infrastructure for supporting security strategies, achieving national goals and protecting public interests. Further directions of improvement of national space activity in the field of national security and defense of Ukraine are proposed, namely: improvement of its normative and legal support; clarification of the purpose, definition of the main tasks and priority directions of its improvement; formation of a management system; organization and development of interagency coordination, interaction and joint problem solving.

National Security Assessment Method Based on Fuzzy Sets Theory

National security is a complex multilevel system whose state of security depends on many uncertainties, so developing a method of assessing the level of national security, based on a mathematical modeling using fuzzy logic that makes use of both quantitative and qualitative information with the conclusion in the form of linguistic characteristics of the phenomenon allows simultaneous use of different types of information: deterministic, statistical and linguistic, which is difficult to implement using other methods. As a result, linguistic assessment of the state security can be formulated as a statement «high level-low». Described approach can also be useful for monitoring the dangerous processes taking place in the field of national security.

However, the situation has improved significantly. At the same time, some actual problems that need to be solved remain.The main directions and ways of quality of officers’ training improvement, the formation of personnel potential in the system of higher military education include the following:- development of a new generation of educational and higher education standards, taking into account NATO standards;- the formation and development of professional, ideological, moral and military qualities of a citizen-patriot defender of the Fatherland among applicants for higher education;- deepening the integration of military education with combat and special training of troops, holding joint events with the involvement of instructors from NATO member states;- improving the quality of professional and psychological selection of candidates for training;- optimization of the content of education based on the introduction into the practice of teaching developed competent content modules;- improvement of the system of competitive selection of officers for the positions of pedagogical, scientific-pedagogical and scientific workers;- increasing the responsibility of higher military educational institutions, as the main subject of the military education system, for the quality of military specialists training and guaranteeing the required level of formation competencies.

Participation of units and troops of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland in crisis situations

Ensuring security is one of the fundamental existential goals of nations. It is among the most important needs of every human being. Without satisfying the need for security, we can hardly speak of the existence, survival, development and ordinary everyday functioning of society. A world full of possibilities and diversity can also be a cruel world, creating a sense of threat. The implementation of state tasks in the field of national security depends, among other things, on effective crisis management. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, as the executive agent of the crisis management system, take an active part in counteracting and combating crisis situations. The purpose of this work is to characterize the crisis management system in Poland, present the legal bases and procedures for the use of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland in crisis situations and analyze the legitimacy and effectiveness of the use of military units and troops in this type of incidents.

POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT IN THE FIELD OF SECURITY IN KOSOVO

Writing for security and security policies in Kosovo is a special pleasure. As it is well known, the Republic of Kosovo is one of the newest states in the world since it was separated from the Republic of Serbia in 1999 after the NATO military intervention, internationally recognized as an independent state from 116 countries around the world it should be noted that only 23 European Union countries have been recognized as independent states by 28 as the EU has. Kosovo as a new country with about 1.8 million people has had great achievements in the field of national security. A serious problem is the non-recognition of Kosovo as an independent state from five European countries (Spain, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus and Romania), problems which continue to this day because of Kosovo's need for support from these countries around the membership in International Security Organizations, where their vote is very important. Another challenge is the consequence of the first problem and not having the opportunity for the new state to join international security organizations (such as Europol, Interpol), mainly due to non-recognition by the five European countries, which mentioned above. A very important element is the control of Kosovo's territory by Kosovo's security forces, which is a constant challenge but with many achievements. It is worth pointing out that Kosovo's security organs are very well formed. The socio-economic situation and the global crisis that has affected especially Balkan countries, Kosovo is still in the process of pursuing its goals for its citizens and high security for foreign visitors.

FORMATION OF PUBLIC POLICY IN US NATIONAL SECURITY: EXPERIENCE FOR UKRAINE

The author analyzes the contemporary concept of US national security and substantiates that US foreign policy focuses on military might as a primary means of securing national interests; in fact, national security is in fact equated with military security. The content of the concept of “national security”, “public administration in the field of national security” in each country has its own meaning and the mechanisms for ensuring national security in the state depend on it. Some countries are focused on ensuring military security, others on information, some on globalization with the challenges of the world community. Therefore, the issue of systematic analysis of foreign experience of national security is relevant. The United States has an extensive national security system, and many strategic documents have been adopted on this issue, and it is appropriate to analyze the experience of national security in the United States. The article substantiates the feasibility of borrowing the experience of planning the national security system to carry out the example of the United States. Necessary steps in this sense, which will serve to improve all the work on the strategic documents, may be: the consolidation at the legislative level of guidelines and requirements for the development of the strategic document and their formalization in appropriate forms; formation of uniform standards of the state administration system in the field of national security of Ukraine; development and approval of a single conceptual apparatus in the strategic planning system in the security and defense sector; planning of national security policy implementation processes; development of uniform methodological recommendations and legal norms regarding the organization and implementation of strategic planning in the security and defense sector of Ukraine; changes in national policy priorities in Ukraine.

ANALYSIS OF THE THREAT OF GOVERNMENT IN THE FIELD OF NATIONAL SECURITY

In order to counter threats to the public administration system and minimize their impact on Ukraine’s national security, it is first of all necessary to analyze and evaluate them. Existing approaches to the assessment of these threats do not involve their comprehensive consideration in the following areas: informative, cybernetic and corrupt. The urgency of this direction is the need to ensure the proper level of informational and cyber security for the functioning of electronic communications and state electronic information resources, along with the modern capabilities of the latest information technologies, which allow: expanding the freedom and capabilities of people, create a new global interactive market for intellectual property, stimulate accountability and efficiency of the government, to intensify the involvement of citizens in the administration of the state and to resolve issues of local self-government, which in turn will help to prevent corruption.   The author proposes to allocate threats to the public administration system into a separate category to allow their further analysis, forecasting, and development of counteraction policy. The purpose of the study is to characterize (analyze) key threats to the public administration system in the field of national security. The article identifies the sources, prerequisites and patterns of the emergence and manifestation of threats that affect the public administration in the field of public security. The main stages of the systematization process are considered. The main classification features are identified and multicriteria classification of threats to the public administration system is developed based on hierarchical analysis. The key threats to this system, which have an impact on all areas of Ukraine’s national security, are highlighted. The research revealed the complex nature of threats to the public administration, which in turn requires the development of integrated approaches to their neutralization. Therefore, in order to ensure the functioning of the public administration system, it is envisaged to introduce an early detection and prevention system for key threats, which involves developing the most productive ways of counteracting such threats.

Operações de Garantia da Lei e da Ordem: Estudo de Caso Comparado sobre o Uso das Forças Armadas no Estado do Espírito Santo e no Brasil

The emergence of new threats in the international system has generated an increasing number of national and intermestic conflicts in which the Armed Forces have been mobilized in the field of National Security and no longer simply in National Defense situations due to the international reality treads that gradually reflected also in Brazil. Based on this discussion, the main goal of this article is to develop a thematic and spatial mapping on the use of the constitutional maneuver of Warranty of Law and Order (GLO) in Brazil through an exploratory methodological procedure materialized through a historical-legal-deductive mixed method of document and bibliographical review and a case study in the State of Espirito Santo. It is concluded from the results presented in the article that the use of the Warranty of Law and Order in diverse types of operations have acquired an cumulative importance due to its systematic political use in different Brazilian states since 2010 in a context characterized by a series of large events that occurred synchronously in relation to an explosion of crime and an erosion of the Public Security apparatus reason. All these reasons contributed for the use of a GLO in the state of Espirito Santo since 2017mainly oriented on the maintenance of order.

Demographic policy and migration processes in modern Russia

The national security of Russia is largely determined by modern migration processes in the Russian regions. Against the background of international globalization, based on the opportunities for social, political and socio-economic development, competition and dominance, there is a visible transformation of migration processes taking place in the conditions of the development of modern Russian society. Migration processes strengthen their influence not only on the political and socio-economic situation in Russia, but also on the demographic sphere of the life of society, creating new challenges in the field of national security. The article analyzes social, economic and cultural consequences of ethnic migration in Russian society. Regional migration processes represent a dangerous trend towards the formation of Russia's national security. The authors come to the conclusion that the current migration processes in the Russian regions are the result of ambiguous, hardly predictable socio-economic, political processes and socio-cultural processes. The authors believe that a regular increase in ethnic migration threatens the national security of Russian society. Migration, as a consequence of socio-economic development, socio-political instability, on the one hand, can contribute to improving economic and social conditions, and on the other - to increase inequality, to cause a new turn of social and political intension. Understanding of this circumstance allows optimizing the demographic policy in the security system, the achievement of which is possible only with the formulation of an adequate Russian demographic policy.
