Managing sustainability of national security: Implications for Ukraine

Abstract

The article examines the interrelated categories of national security and sustainable development, which are currently the subject of special attention from government institutions, civil society, political parties, territorial communities, etc. The purpose of the study is to specify the topical issues associated with the sustainable development of national security, drawing on international experience in this area, and to determine locally adaptable ways to ensure the sustainability of Ukraine's national security. The process of sustainable development of national security is to be more effective when there is a clear idea of its structural and functional elements, and direct and indirect ties among them. The synergy between national security and the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals can ensure comprehensive modernization in line with today’s requirements and strengthen citizens' welfare and security. The integrated level of national security of Ukraine correlates with the goals of sustainable development. The country’s stability and its resistance to national security threats are a necessary condition for implementing a purposeful, sustainable development strategy for 2030. Successful implementation of sustainability tasks for Ukraine is possible provided there exist unity and capacity of state power and society. Keywords: national security, sustainable development, public administration.
