ANALYSIS OF SOME MECHANISMS OF PUBLIC GOVERNANCE FOR FORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY

Abstract

The article analyzes the mechanisms of government for the formation of the state’s foreign policy based on a synthesis of modern research and a systematic approach.

It is investigated that the development of the external functions of the state is accompanied by a dynamic change, that is, there is an evolutionary development of the structure of external functions, the evolution of the foreign policy mechanism.

The division of foreign relations bodies into two groups is described: domestic (central) and foreign, but the daily operational activities related to the state’s foreign relations are, of course, primarily carried out by a specially authorized executive body that oversees the sphere of international relations - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine .

It is indicated that the successful implementation of Ukraine’s foreign policy opportunities depends, first of all, on the complex of constitutional, legal, organizational and diplomatic measures undertaken by public administration entities in the field of Ukraine’s foreign policy activities are combined into a political and diplomatic mechanism in Ukraine’s modern foreign policy activity.

However, no matter what the mechanisms of the formation of foreign policy may be, it is practically impossible to drastically change the state’s foreign policy by decisions of certain individuals or bodies — these mechanisms themselves will impede this. This will happen for various reasons, but we are interested in exploring this from the point of view of combining a systematic approach and such a thing as a “funnel of causality”.

It is analyzed that the problems of the state’s foreign policy are complex, integrated, and this requires more coordinated and unified cooperation of individual organizational structures, and they are the mechanisms of the state’s foreign policy, will be responsible for solving external problems all the responsibility. The place and role of government in the mechanism of foreign policy implementation depends primarily on the form of government in the state and the political system of society.

The review that the use of new approaches to the analysis of the processes of formation of the country's foreign policy based on the systematic approach and the methods used in the social sciences makes it possible to look at these processes from a new perspective and gain a new vision of the mechanisms of government used in these processes.
