COORDINATION IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF UKRAINE: REGULATORY LEGAL MECHANISM

Summary/Abstract: Swift global transformations in international relations; the emergence of new communicationsthat provide instant dissemination and transfer of information; increase number of internationalactors - all above mentioned put on the agenda further search for more effective forms and mechanismsfor coordinating activities of public authorities in foreign relations for both Ukraine aswell as any other country.Research of the regulatory legal mechanism of coordination of the activities of public authoritiesof Ukraine in foreign relations shows that Ukraine belongs to a group of countries with a "rigid"form of coordination, that is characterized by stringently regulated sphere of foreign relations,broad powers conferred on the center of coordination as well as the mandatory accountability ofall authorities to this center.It was also found that the vast majority of regulations are a post factum reaction to certain violationsmade by the authorities whose international activity was not agreed with the Ministry ofForeign Affairs and caused negative consequences for Ukraine's image on the internationalarena. The above indicates that the current level of coordination of activity of state authoritiesof Ukraine in the sphere of foreign relations is characterized (by a scale developed by Professorof the University of Lausanne Dietmar Brown) as "negative" administrative coordination.
