Abstract
Aim: The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of public-private legal relations in the system of ensuring the state anti-drug policy of Ukraine.
Methods: The dialectical method allowed to reveal the development of public-private legal relations in the field of state anti-drug policy as a dynamic system that is transformed under the influence of social, economic, security and international legal factors. Thanks to this method, the relationship between the public interests of the state in ensuring public security and the private interests of business entities, health care institutions, public organizations and citizens was analyzed. The systemic method was used to study state anti-drug policy as a multi-level administrative and legal system, which includes state authorities, local governments, law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, medical institutions, the pharmaceutical sector, educational institutions, international organizations and civil society institutions.
Results: It is substantiated that the modern model of combating illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors can no longer be based solely on the activities of law enforcement agencies. The effectiveness of anti-drug policy largely depends on the proper interaction of public authorities, business entities, healthcare institutions, public organizations, educational institutions, international organizations and other civil society institutions.
Conclusion: As a result of the study, an author’s definition of publicprivate legal relations in the field of state anti-drug policy was proposed, their principles, elements, subject composition, administrative-legal forms of interaction were determined, and proposals were formulated for the implementation of European standards of public administration.
