INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR ECONOMIC SECURITY AS A FACTOR OF NATIONAL SECURITY RESILIENCE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines institutional support for economic security as a critical determinant of the resilience of Ukraine’s national security in the context of escalating systemic threats, prolonged wartime instability, and deep structural transformations of the national economy. It is substantiated that the effectiveness of economic security is shaped not only by the availability of material, financial, and human resources, but primarily by the quality of the institutional environment, the coherence of regulatory mechanisms, the capacity of public authorities for coordinated action, and their ability to adapt governance practices to crisis-induced uncertainty.

The purpose of the study is to identify and substantiate the role of institutional support for economic security in strengthening the resilience of Ukraine’s national security system under conditions of war and post-war recovery. The research is based on institutional, systemic, and structural-functional approaches, complemented by methods of analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, comparative assessment, and modeling.

The article analyzes the institutional architecture of economic security provision in Ukraine, identifies key deficiencies in interagency coordination, overlapping mandates, and fragmented decision-making processes, and assesses the impact of wartime threats on the effectiveness of public policy implementation. Particular attention is paid to the interaction between economic, financial, defense, and social policy institutions in ensuring the stability of the national security system.

It is proven that institutional coordination acts as a system-forming element of national security resilience, as it enables the integration of economic, financial, and security policies into a unified governance framework, enhances policy consistency, and reduces institutional vulnerability in crisis situations. The scientific novelty of the study lies in substantiating the institutional dimension of economic security as a fundamental and independent factor of national security resilience in the context of war and post-war reconstruction.

The practical significance of the research results lies in their applicability to the development and improvement of state policy, strategic planning documents, and institutional reforms in the fields of economic and national security, aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s resilience to current and future threats.
