CONTROL POWER AND PUBLIC CONTROL: TO THE PROBLEM OF INTERACTION

Summary/Abstract: The actual value of the topic. Nowadays, the state, each of its branches has a fairly extensive system of controlling bodies, which sphere of activity actually and legally covers all spheres of life in the country. The scientific community insists on the institutional formation of the control authority, which confirms the functional capacity of the controlling bodies and their significance. But in practice, the effectiveness of their activities is low and does not justify the expectations of citizens.The request of society to improve the efficiency of the law-enforcement system, in particular, anti-corruption bodies and national police, raises the question of strengthening the control of this system by citizens. The active part of society wants to take an active part in the control processes. Public control becomes important as a source of relations between the state and citizens. Thus, consideration of the possibility of coexistence of control authorities and public control is necessary today and relevant.The development of the subject. Separately, the problem of control activity of the state, control power and public control in the national science is widely developed. However, the definition of the status and place of public oversight in the control system remains the subject of scientific discussion, taking into account the recent update of the national security legislation.The methodology of the research is based on an integrated combination of general scientific, philosophical and special legal methods.The aim of the work is an attempt to determine the place of civil control in the existing system of control in the state.In the main part of the publication, the author analyzes the concept of control, control power and public control, tries to find out the connecting features. The analyzes are also subject to the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On National Security" in terms of determining the status of public control in the security sphere.Conclusions. Having a clear mechanism for monitoring virtually all spheres of life, creating new supervisory bodies (e.g., anti-corruption bodies (NABU, NAPC, SAP, WACS)), the state is not able to fulfill its functions. Public control is the reaction of citizens to the imperfection and inefficiency of the state control system. The desire of citizens to participate directly in control activities shows the seriousness of the citizens and the desire of the society to see clear positive developments in the field of security and defense. Therefore, public control can be considered an important and necessary element of the control authority, through which the public engages in control activities, but has a limited functional.
