Threat prevention mechanisms of Ukraine’s economic security

Abstract. Introduction. The article grounds the necessity to introduce and implement organisational and economic threat prevention mechanisms of economic security of Ukraine’s national economy. It is emphasised that the issues related to the provision of the economic security of the national economy have already arisen. Such mechanisms should eliminate and neutralise negative impacts on the national economy.

The purpose of the article is to suggest and describe threat prevention mechanisms relevant to the economic security of the national economy, which involves the introduction of tactical measures of a preventive nature.

Methods. The theory of the governmental economic policy of growth is the basis of the fundamental research methodology. Methods of theoretical generalisation were applied to study and systematise public policy concepts to ensure economic security. The authors used functional and conceptual approaches. The system structural analysis was applied in the study of priorities in ensuring the economic security of the national economy.

Results. The organisational and economic threat prevention mechanism of the economic security of the national economy presented in the article allows rapid adjustment of state economic policy. Based on the information about its effectiveness with regard to the feedback received from civil society, the relevant mechanism is of particular importance in the integration of the national economy into the global economy.

Conclusions. The abovementioned mechanism is formed on the basis of advanced control by using methods of scenario modelling. It enables us to choose the best and most effective ways of forecasting possible consequences and aims to prevent the destructive impact of potential threats on the economic security system of the national economy.
