Abstract

This research aims to explore how public administration contributes to safeguarding national security through policy formulation and implementation. It seeks to construct theoretical frameworks and provide actionable suggestions for addressing emerging risks, threats, and vulnerabilities to national security. It is particularly relevant in contemporary events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, instability, and external pressures. The research uses a variety of methodologies, including economic analysis, systems analysis, specialised professional methods, scientific abstraction, comparison, synthesis, and statistical techniques such as correlation and regression analysis, as well as multivariate cluster analysis and the K-means method. Additionally, it employs various techniques for organising, presenting, and generalising data, such as tabular and graphical representation. Russian actions have worsened security challenges in Europe and emerging markets, hindering public administrations' ability to maintain national security. The Fragile State Index for Ukraine hit a critical juncture in 2023, highlighting the imperative to confront these threats promptly. The evolving landscape of national security, marked by heightened instability and external pressures, demands a thorough reconsideration concerning functioning public administration safeguarding national interests. Empirical data underscores the pressing necessity to confront these challenges through deliberate strategic planning and efficient operational frameworks. It underscores the significance of collaborative efforts and coordinated responses among nations confronting analogous threats to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity amidst a dynamically shifting geopolitical milieu.
