THE CONCEPT OF ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUMENTS FOR ENSURING THE TERRITORIAL DEFENSE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

Attention is drawn to the fact that an administrative instrument should be understood as a complex concept that combines forms and methods (ways) of implementing public administration. A public administration instrument is a tool for the exercise of the will of power by authorized bodies and officials and ensuring its proper implementation. The presence of such instruments, on the one hand, provides the subjects of administration with real opportunities for appropriate managerial influence on certain social relations and processes, and on the other hand, is an important condition for ensuring legality, since these forms oblige the holders of authority to exercise the latter in appropriate forms and in the prescribed manner (ways) in order to prevent arbitrariness and abuse of power.
It was found that the administrative instruments for ensuring the territorial defense of Ukraine are a set of homogeneous actions of public administration bodies, carried out in the forms and ways determined by current legislation, aimed at exercising managerial influence on public relations in the field of ensuring territorial defense in order to effectively achieve the goals of national resistance.
It is emphasized that the list of relevant instruments is proposed to include: regulatory and legal acts; administrative act; administrative agreement; planning; coordination; control. The effectiveness of these administrative instruments depends on a number of conditions and factors, and primarily on the state of their regulatory and legal basis (i.e., the quality of legislative regulation) and on the professionalism and responsibility of the personnel who actually implement these instruments in practice.
