Abstract

The article is devoted to clarifying the state of highlighting the problem of public management of thehumanitarian sphere of Ukraine in the scientific works of Ukrainian scientists. With the help of the problem-searchmethod of research in the information scientific space, a large number of works of a humanitarian direction, whichare difficult to analyze, were found, therefore, in order to limit them, the article focused on the conceptual-categoricalconstruction "humanitarian sphere", which is found only in the title of the works. The initial data of the research were identified and analyzed, a preliminary analysis of scientific achievements was carried out, and the main trends inherentin this direction of research were determined.The main conclusions of the study are: only 17 dissertations were found, in which the subject of research is thehumanitarian sphere, including 2 doctoral dissertations; these dissertations were completed in 5 scientific fields(historical, philological, political sciences, national security, public administration) and defended in 7 specialties, mostof which are in the science of public administration and historical science; today, there is no dissertation with theissues defined in the article, completed in the science of public management and administration; the most popular arevarious aspects of state management of the humanitarian sphere, issues of cooperation in this sphere, formation andimplementation of state policy regarding the development of the humanitarian sphere; most often, the works revealthe problems of the development of the humanitarian sphere in the conditions of modern challenges and threats to thenational or state security of Ukraine, which fully corresponds to modern realities. However, the reality of today is notreflected in the works. In particular, the dissertation defended in 2020 is purely historical and is devoted to researchingthe activities of the Ukrainian Central Committee in the humanitarian sphere during the Nazi occupation.The article outlines prospective directions of research into the problem of public management of the humanitariansphere of Ukraine. Since today the national security of the Ukrainian state is the ability to protect its independence,the system of state administration, and public institutions from external negative influence and external aggression,we believe that the following are the promising and most relevant areas of modern research: the formation andimplementation of national security policy in humanitarian areas, threats and challenges; public administration in thehumanitarian sphere of Ukraine; the state policy of Ukraine regarding the provision of humanitarian security; thehumanitarian sphere as a component of Ukraine's national security.
