Abstract

The article analyzes the state system of Ukraine as a conceptual model of sustainable realization of international relations. It is noted that the state, entering into various international relations, sets itself the priority of pre- serving its own statehood. After all, not only the development and proper functioning of the state itself will depend on this, but also the dynamic and progressive development and life of society and an individual. In order to ensure this, an integrative category should be distinguished, which will be at the intersection of the formation of statehood and the dynamic, and at the same time, sustainable development of international relations. The article argues that such a category will be the state system.

The state system is considered as the structure of the state and society, de- fined by the constitution, as a stabilizing political and legal document. After all, its provisions have a fairly high degree of stability, including those relat- ing to the realization of international relations. The Constitution of Ukraine, establishing the key parameters of the state system, forms the basic prin- ciples of the realization of international relations, as a rule, not of a specific nature, but of a general nature, which corresponds to the nature of modern constitutionalism. However, these general provisions serve as the basis for the realization of both foreign and domestic policies aimed at the active and mutually beneficial participation of the state in all types of international rela- tions.

The Constitution of Ukraine, forming the basic contours of the organization and functioning of the state system, pays significant attention to the issues of the development of international relations and ensuring their stability. At the same time, relevant laws should be adopted to develop the provisions of the Constitution. In particular, a few words should be said about the Law of Ukraine “On the Principles of Domestic and Foreign Policy of Ukraine”.

Based on the above, it can be summarized that the state system and interna- tional relations are quite interconnected state, political, organizational and legal categories. Moreover, the state system in its entirety in the aspect of international relations has a significant stabilization potential, which must have appropriate scientifically substantiated directions for further develop- ment.
