Genesis and Evolution of Concepts of Resource Provision of National Security in Conditions of High-Intensity Military Conflicts
Abstract
Purpose. To study and systematize global models of strategic planning and resource provision for national security in order to develop recommendations for adapting Ukraine’s public administration system to wartime conditions and post-war recovery.
Method. A comprehensive approach was applied, including a comparative legal analysis of strategic documents of leading countries (USA, NATO members), a systemic-structural analysis of the hierarchy of planning levels, and a modeling method to determine the optimal architecture for integrated security resource management.
Findings. Key strategic planning models (American, European, Asian) were analyzed; the necessity of transitioning from a “reactive response” model to “proactive planning” was justified; the priority of integrating economic resilience into the general national security framework was identified; it was proven that a hierarchical system, where resource flows clearly correlate with forecast threat scenarios, is the most effective.
Theoretical implications. The work deepens scientific understanding of the “Grand Strategy” category in the context of national economic management; systematizes the levels of strategic planning and clarifies the role of intelligence and analytical support in the process of making state management decisions.
Practical implications. The results allow for improving the mechanisms of strategic document preparation in Ukraine, ensuring coordination between military and civilian management bodies, and forming scientifically based approaches to mobilizing defense industry resources and ensuring technological leadership in the face of security challenges.
Originality. For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of American strategic thought—from “soft power” to “smart power”—has been conducted in the context of ensuring economic prosperity as the foundation of national security, providing a practical roadmap for the transformation of the Ukrainian public administration system.
Research limitations. Limitations relate to the dynamic changes in the geopolitical situation, which require constant updating of input data, and the restricted access to information regarding specific mechanisms of resource provision for the defense programs of leading countries.
Paper type. Review.
