MAIN MECHANISMS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE SPHERE OF CIVIL PROTECTION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The genesis of approaches to the theory of public management and administration in the sphere of civil protection was examined. The theoretical and methodological foundations of public management and administration mechanisms in the sphere of civil protection were defined. Institutional-legal and organizational-economic mechanisms of public management and administration in the sphere of civil protection have been identified. It is stated that an important aspect of the system of public management and administration in the sphere of civil protection is the formation of a normative-legal and institutional framework. This framework should combine stability with timely adjustment of the interests of state policy subjects in accordance with societal changes, and it should facilitate the creation of truly operational mechanisms that ensure compliance with legislation in this sphere. Therefore, the institutional-legal mechanism of public management and administration in the sphere of civil protection is identified. This mechanism is formed by the system of legislative and normative-legal acts of the state, which ensures the proper functioning of the civil protection sphere and harmonizes Ukrainian legislation in this sphere with international legislation, including European law. It is determined that the organizational-economic mechanism of public management and administration in the sphere of civil protection is a set of organizational, financial, and economic incentives, levers, and tools provided by law, through which the stable functioning of the civil protection sphere is ensured. It is outlined that emergencies are becoming more complex, diverse, and atypical, with severe consequences for both the population and territories. This complicates the possibility of quick and proper response due to an insufficiently developed algorithm of actions, both within the system of public management and administration in civil protection and among the population. Therefore, in modern conditions, it is necessary to form unified methodological foundations for the collection, processing, storage, and dissemination of data on environmental monitoring, critical infrastructure objects, and the risks of emergencies in general.
