Creating appropriate conditions for a stable development of the individual, society and state, and simultaneously providing a high level of protection of national interests, has been identified as a priority of the Ukrainian national security policy. The Ukrainian state ought to review all challenges and threats and adopt a new national security strategy. Current circumstances require the National Security Strategy of Ukraine of 2015 to become an integral functional element of the security and defence sector. The National Security Strategy has to become an open and mandatory document developed solely for the practical purpose of comprehensive protection of national security and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The implementation of these priorities is to be ensured through the restoration of peace and state sovereignty in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, by implementing a complex set of international, legal, political, diplomatic, security, humanitarian, and economic measures. The key implementation goal should focus on the establishment of the principles of safe and legal country, free in its choice of domestic and foreign political options and development tendencies. External threats are rather more dangerous than internal, but the content of geopolitical security is primarily based on the organic combination of external and internal security. The imperfection of national security legislation and the low efficiency of its implementation are the reason for malfunctioning of the defence sector, which makes ensuring the full realization of national interests impossible.

Security is one of the basic needs of the individual, society and the state, as well as an integral condition for their development. Corruption is among the threats to the national security of the Russian Federation, as it follows from the National Security Strategy approved by Presidential Decree No. 683 of 31.12.2015. The significant efforts made by the state since the mid‑2000s to form and improve social, legal and organizational mechanisms for combating corruption consistently lead to positive results. At the same time, we have to state that corruption continues to cause irreparable harm to public relations, creates an atmosphere of social tension in society. It is no coincidence that the new National Security Strategy, approved by Presidential Decree No. 400 of 02.07.2021, emphasizes the need of society to strengthen the fight against corruption. The high rates of development of anti-corruption legislation, as well as the institutionalization of anti-corruption structures, have led to the formation of natural intra-system contradictions that hinder the further sustainable development of anti-corruption activities. The emerging trends of stagnation of the anti-corruption system actualize the search for qualitatively new fundamental scientific developments that allow us to reach a new level of intersectoral scientific understanding and development of anti-corruption mechanisms. The current stage of the development of scientific knowledge about the phenomena of corruption and security, as well as the relevant anti-corruption and security systems, allows us to identify sufficient prerequisites for the beginning of the development of the theory of anti-corruption security, which contains methodological approaches to ensuring personal, state and global anti-corruption security

Abstract The purpose of this article is to present the Hungarian security policy over the last two years, focused on the migrant crisis. This policy is explained on the basis of the National Security Strategy. According to the Strategy, the migration is treated as a natural and at the same time complex phenomenon, bringing economic and demographic advantages and, at the same time, carrying public and national security risks. It is concluded that resolving the crisis is one of the most important priorities of the Hungarian security policy. The paper highlights the differences between the Hungarian security policy and the official policy of the EU. Like the other members of the Visegrád Group, Budapest is against the quota system for the allocation of migrants. The position of Hungary is that the discussion of the migrant problem both in the Group and at EU level should be based on the concept of effective solidarity. The country supports European integration of the Western Balkans. The study is based on documents, mainly of the Visegrád Group, and materials from the media.

AbstractThe article deals with the content of training Masters in National Security at the UK universities. The problem of the state’s national security in the context of the state’s general development and the realization of its national interests has been actualized. It is noted that maintaining the national interests of any state world provides an adequate response to the challenges and threats of today, namely the implementation of an effective national security policy. It is found that the UK’s national security strategy lists all the key threats that the government believes are threatening the state. Terrorism has been the top problem since the terrorist attacks in London in 2007. The proliferation of nuclear weapons and other types of weapons of mass destruction causes much anxiety, too. The UK strategy also includes threats such as transnational organized crime, global instability and conflictogenity (in the Middle East and Africa), global climate change, energy shortages, poverty, etc. The conducted research proves that the UK seeks to identify and eliminate such threats as transnational organized crime, global instability and conflictogenity, global climate change, energy shortages, poverty, etc. The UK National Security Strategy is based on such key values as human rights, the rule of law, a lawful and responsible government, justice, freedom, tolerance and equal opportunity for all. As a result, the UK universities aim to diversify professional training of specialists in national security incorporating into the field such areas as peace or war studies, conflict studies, terrorism, insurgency, etc. The content of professional training for national security specialists, namely masters, provided by King’s College London, the University of Leeds and Coventry University are characterized by the following features: adherence to the nation-wide principles of national security, the conceptual diversity of degree programmes (national security studies; peace and conflict studies; security, terrorism and insurgency), focus on humanities, profession-oriented compulsory modules, a wide range of optional courses, flexible combination of study and work and personal commitments, research challenges, taking into account the dilemmas and challenges of globalization and integration, promotion of human rights, etc. The relevant recommendations have been singled out to improve the content of professional training for such specialists at Ukrainian universities.

The use of the phenomenon of “national security” in various fields of knowledge testifies to its general scientific practical significance, raises the problem of its elaboration at the theoretical level, first of all, the search for its nature and general meaning (internal content), as a result, a conceptual methodological basis. This work did not provide for an exhaustive consideration of the problem, only its statement. For this purpose, philosophical knowledge was used to comprehend the essence of the “security” phenomenon. It has been established that "security" is a fundamental, constitutive feature that determines the essence of the "security" phenomenon. But not security in general, but one or more subjects of activity and communication. The content and meaning of the subject's existence is the satisfaction of his needs, the realization of his interests. From this point of view, security is associated with areas of public life with the versatile interests and needs of the subjects, and response actions to protect them, to realize their interests and satisfy their needs. This idea is consonant with that used in the basic document of strategic planning - the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation, the conceptual scheme: “national interests” - “threats to national security” - “ensuring national security”, where “national interests” is the basic concept of national security, the meaning of which is in fact, it consists in ensuring the protection of the individual, society and the state. Another question: what should one “rely on” when comprehending the essence of this phenomenon? How did the individual, society and state arise? What was the fundamental prerequisite in this process? This forced us to turn to the ideological foundations and explore the process of this theoretical development.
