COORDINATION OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES' ACTIVITIES IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN CHALLENGES

Abstract

The article discusses the challenges and mechanisms of coordinating the activities of public authorities in the context of modern security threats and new challenges. The author analyzes the role of public administration in ensuring national security and the need for effective interdepartmental cooperation and coordination. The article discusses the current state of coordination between executive authorities, emphasizing the importance of creating effective coordination mechanisms to address complex issues that require a comprehensive, cross-sectoral approach. Potential barriers to effective coordination, such as departmental barriers, differences in priorities, and communication breakdowns, are considered, and solutions to overcome these obstacles are proposed. The theoretical foundations of public administration and national security are explored, outlining the key principles and models that should guide the coordination of public authorities' activities. International best practices and case studies are also analyzed to identify successful coordination strategies that can be adapted to the national context. Moreover, the article examines the role of information sharing, joint decision-making, and resource allocation in ensuring effective coordination among executive authorities. The author emphasizes the importance of establishing clear lines of responsibility, communication channels, and feedback mechanisms to enhance the overall efficiency and responsiveness of the public administration system. Furthermore, the article also explores the issue of manageability of the structure of coordination of public authorities' activities in the context of current social, economic, and political challenges. The author emphasizes the need for effective coordination of the work of various branches of public administration for timely and adequate response to complex, dynamic, and interconnected problems. The main characteristics of the manageability of the coordination system are revealed, including: a clear division of powers and responsibilities, established vertical and horizontal interaction, effective communication channels, flexible decision-making mechanisms, and effective monitoring and control tools. Particular attention is paid to the issues of adaptability and transformation of the coordination structures of the authorities in order to increase their relevance to modern realities.
