Ukraine’s constitutional doctrine of national security

Abstract

This article aims to set the foundations for a comprehensive legal system ensuring national security through establishing the scientific principles and framework legislation and developing a constitutional Ukrainian national security doctrine. The empirical basis for this research consists of published documents and materials concerning national security in the USA, particularly the US National Security Strategy. The drafting of the mentioned doctrine as a main scientific result is of national significance for Ukraine. Furthermore, the scientific results presented in the article, including principles, general scientific, system-structural, and legislative models, can be used for the democratic development of constitutional models in Eastern European countries to ensure national and collective security in the world.
