Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of the legal dimension of the problems and prospects of the economic security system of Ukraine. The question of the legal dimension of the specified system is of significant interest, as it considers its organization and functioning from a legal point of view. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the economic security system of Ukraine in the legal dimension of its problems and prospects. The article substantiates that the constitutional consolidation of the term "economic security" created a prerequisite for the definition and formation of the system of economic security, the development of the appropriate legislative framework, and the determination of the basics of the legal status of state authorities as subjects of security of the specified type. It was found that there is no unified opinion regarding the definition of the term "economic security" among scientists, although in theory and in practice different types of security are distinguished. It has been proven that due to the war in Ukraine and insufficient scientific development, the system remains unbalanced in order to respond promptly and effectively counter the severe challenges of today. The article concludes that the economic security of Ukraine is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, which includes such types of security as production, energy, foreign economic, demographic, food, social, financial, investment-innovation and macroeconomic, etc. It is emphasized that there is still no legal definition of the concept of "system of economic security of Ukraine", although the scientific community operates with a number of powerful doctrinal definitions. At the same time, it is determined that improving the economic security system should also pay attention to its functions, as they are a necessary attribute of any system of the past and present, because they determine the direction of the economic security system. In addition, it has been proven that the system of economic security must change over time, as it can acquire new features and characteristics, change priorities, goals and tasks, perform functions that will be relevant in a specific situation. The practical value of the work consists in substantiating the need for changes in the perception of economic security as a system and proving the need to legally consolidate the concept of "economic security system of Ukraine".
