IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE MECHANISMS FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL VALUES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES (THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE UNITED KINGDOM, JAPAN)

Abstract

The protection of national interests in states outside the EU has one extremely important difference - such states do not have the necessary political, institutionalized mechanism to consolidate all resources without exception to solve this problem. Such states outside the EU have to create the necessary level of resources, including political ones, on their own to solve the problem of protecting their own national values. In this case, a situation arises in which their own resource base becomes insufficient, which requires such states to seek additional external sources of resources. This process is cyclical, and therefore forms a new global reality, when, in defense of their systems of national values, states consolidate around them either states that are identical in ethnic and cultural composition, common historical past; or through direct expansion and imposition of their own ideologies. In the article, the authors emphasize two types of states: the first, which actually defend their systems of national values, and the second, which only proclaim the values of their states. The first type of states includes the Commonwealth of Nations, which unites the countries of the Anglo-Saxon legal family. The second type includes states united by the totalitarian camp of the communist regime that existed from 1923 to 1991 and had the USSR as its center. Using the method of historicism and historical and legal analysis, the authors have made a quite logical and only correct conclusion about the effectiveness of the approaches underlying the existence of each agglomeration and union of countries. That is why the article focuses on the analysis of the process of implementation of the State mechanisms for protection of national values in countries which implement, rather than proclaim, the democratic path of development and the system of civil rights and freedoms, recognizing a person as the highest value of the State, in particular, the United States of America, Great Britain, and Japan. The authors of the article determine the application of a systematic approach to the implementation of state mechanisms for the protection of national values in foreign countries and identify their main conclusions for implementation in the domestic practice of functioning of state mechanisms for the protection of national values in Ukraine.
