The article examines the concept of «national security» within the categorical framework of public administration, highlighting the absence of a universally accepted definition of «national security» and its role in public administration.
It is emphasized that studying the concept of «national security» in the context of public administration is crucial for understanding and interpreting the «state policy of national security» strategy. This is also essential for ensuring that public security agencies meet security requirements and effectively address both current and potential threats to the formation and functioning of Ukrainian society.
It is noted that, in the 21st century, global challenges and changes in the world order have led to increased attention on the concept of «national security». This concept is now viewed as a domain of public relations focused on preventing both real and potential threats to the state's national interests, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
It is noted that the conceptualization of the phenomenon known as «national security» within the public administration system can be characterized as a domain of public relations aimed at ensuring the foundational conditions for the functioning of individuals and society, while also protecting national values and interests from various threats.
It is determined that the concept of «national security» has the following semantic dimensions: first, as a state of society that reflects the protection of the state's vital interests; second, as a political, legal, and organizational mechanism of public administration; third, as the state and level of protection afforded to individuals; and fourth, as the protection of fundamental national interests, which include: state sovereignty, territorial integrity, independence, democratic constitutional order, and sustainable economic development.
For future research, it is proposed to focus on the relationship between national security and globalization processes, particularly exploring how globalization impacts the national interests of states.
