INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION POLICY MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN SECURITY CHALLENGES: ADAPTATION POSSIBILITIES FOR UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines international experience in public administration of information policy in the context of contemporary security challenges, digital transformation, and the need to ensure the information resilience of the state. It is substantiated that the development of the information society is accompanied by changes in the content and functional purpose of state information policy, which is gradually evolving from the regulation of information relations into a comprehensive area of public administration encompassing information and cybersecurity, strategic communications, the protection of information rights, and the resilience of the digital environment.

A comparative analysis of public administration models of information policy in the United States, Canada, Germany, and France is conducted based on legal and regulatory, institutional, organizational and coordination, and security and technological criteria. The distinctive features of national approaches are identified, including the security-oriented and strategic nature of the American model, the state-coordinated and socially oriented characteristics of the Canadian model, the regulatory, institutional, and human rights-based foundations of the German model, and the interagency and multilevel nature of the French model. Common trends in the development of state information policy are identified, particularly the strengthening of strategic governance, interagency coordination, public-private cooperation, and the integration of technological instruments for countering information threats.

The study substantiates the feasibility of applying a selective and combined approach to adapting international experience within Ukraine’s public administration system of information policy. This approach involves the selective integration of effective elements of foreign models, taking into account national security needs, institutional capacities, and European integration priorities. Priority areas for improving Ukraine’s state information policy are systematized, including strategic planning, the development of interagency cooperation, improvement of the regulatory framework, strengthening of public-private partnerships, and the introduction of mechanisms for evaluating the effectiveness of administrative decisions. The prospects for developing an adaptive model of public administration of information policy aimed at enhancing the information resilience of the state and society are outlined.
