Principles of State-Building in Modern Management and Security Strategy in Ukraine

Abstract

State-building and the study of this process is relevant for every country. Ukraine is no exception. Firstly, the relevance of the topic is enhanced in the context of the ongoing Russian aggression. This conflict reflects the historical and political ties between Ukraine and Russia and affects the processes of state-building and defense. It challenges Ukraine to strengthen its military potential, develop international alliances, and develop effective strategies to counter external threats. Also, the situation opens up the possibility of a deeper understanding of the impact of historical aspects of state-building on Ukraine's current policies and strategic decisions. Secondly, an analysis of historical and contemporary state-building and defense strategies is critical to understanding how Ukraine can adapt and develop in this environment. This article aims to review key stages and aspects of state-building in Ukraine, with a focus on current governance approaches and defense strategy. Through a detailed analysis of these areas, we aim to understand how Ukraine is responding to current challenges and what prospects it has for strengthening its statehood and security. The purpose of the article is to study the long historical process of Ukraine's statehood, which began before the creation of Kievan Rus and continued even when Ukrainian lands were part of other states. The authors try to show how historical traditions and the development of Ukrainian statehood, which were laid down in ancient times, became the basis for the development of modern Ukraine and its civilizational progress. In addition, the authors believe that the current stage of Ukraine's development is important for its future functioning, and therefore the article also aims to show what challenges Ukraine faces in terms of strengthening its military potential, strengthening international alliances, and developing effective strategies to counter external threats. The key research method used by the authors is the method of analysis and synthesis. This method provided a deeper understanding of the complexity and multidimensionality of the topic.
