“…Strict legal regulation of the British national security doctrine is expressed, among other things, in the adoption of a permanent national security strategy of the United Kingdom. In addition to this, it is characterized by institutional, systematic, and specific nature, which is expressed, particularly in the functioning of the National Security Council of the UK, organizing and conducting regular five-year Strategic Defense and Security Reviews (Thomson & Blagden, 2018;Mattsson & Saljo, 2017).…”

This article aims to set the foundations for a comprehensive legal system ensuring national security through establishing the scientific principles and framework legislation and developing a constitutional Ukrainian national security doctrine. The empirical basis for this research consists of published documents and materials concerning national security in the USA, particularly the US National Security Strategy. The drafting of the mentioned doctrine as a main scientific result is of national significance for Ukraine. Furthermore, the scientific results presented in the article, including principles, general scientific, system-structural, and legislative models, can be used for the democratic development of constitutional models in Eastern European countries to ensure national and collective security in the world.

“…The existence of the NSC would assist the informal institutions that encircle security policymakers to better operate by transforming into more bureaucratically coherent while retaining adaptability. Strategic with innovative vision would be associated with an interdepartmental policy (Thomson & Blagden, 2018).…”

This paper aims to explain the National Security Council (NSC) in Indonesia Security Bill Design that refers to comprehensive security and human security concepts. The NSC's importance is to encounter military and non-military threats, which are constantly experiencing unexpected changes that the other country has implemented. The research methodology used in this study is to use qualitative descriptive studies with purposive sampling sample selection methods. Then to test the validity of the data used, data triangulation techniques by comparing the information obtained so that analysis could be done with different sources. Applications to this study are to support national security policy to in􀅫luence policymakers by offering a concept of the NSC as an alternative to make a national grand strategy based on comprehensive security and human security concepts. This study shows that the discourse of establishing the NSC serves as an institution that synchronizes overlapping national security policies through the National Security Bill. To realize the implementation of holistic and comprehensive state security, it is necessary to ensure human safety based on Human Security declared by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). To realize the stability of national security policy, it is necessary to eliminate several state institutions such as the Presidential Advisory Council, the National Resilience Council, and the Coordinating Ministry for Politics, Law, and Security which regulatory does not yet have a clear security concept. Therefore, to realize the establishment of the NSC as an institution that helps the President formulate a state security policy, a regulation that contains a national grand strategy to support the Republic of Indonesia that is ready to deal with military and non-military security threats.

“…resilient and adaptive organisational forms and cultures in a complex context) arguing that expert/epistemic networks 'represent a strategy for flexible crisis intervention that enables systems to deal with irreducible uncertainty and imperfect knowledge'. This is important for Britain given that UK expertise has proven to have had a major role in shaping the global policy direction of many areas of contingencies across a range of complex policy domains (Thomson and Blagden, 2018;Connolly, 2019, Judge, 2019.…”

In a globalized world, national-level policymakers make decisions, often during times of crisis and uncertainty, which have implications for neighboring territories. Britain is an example of a nation state that has had to accommodate such a multi-level context in the management of crises. What is clear is that the processes of crisis management rely heavily on the effectiveness and strength of policy relationships at multiple levels of governance. Managing and coordinating crises in these contexts represents a challenge for national crisis managers as these complex governance landscapes produce uncertainties and can reveal ambiguities when it comes to identifying “who” is the dominant crisis manager. For example, the challenges of global health threats, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, highlight how modern governance arrangements breed vulnerabilities for states due to the interconnection of infrastructures and systems. The lack of clarity with regards to who is accountable for the performance of crisis management approaches within complex government environments open up windows of opportunity for blame and ideological games to take effect. Crisis management research highlights that the effectiveness of transnational crisis management depends on policy relationships within and between networks, including the extent to which national technocratic actors feature in the political decisions that affect crisis governance arrangements. Policy relationships themselves are also shaped by the contexts and dynamics of regional and territorial governance, Europeanization processes, and the internationalization of crisis management—all of which produce their own political tensions for the workings and autonomy of national crisis managers. Understanding such complexities is key for researching British crisis management processes.
