Abstract:
The article is dedicated to the study of the instrumental support of state regulation of science in the field of
customs-legal relations, particularly in the proper application of administrative legal measures. It proposes
and substantiates the thesis about the possibility of using administrative legal measures to regulate social
relations related to conducting scientific activities, creating conditions for increasing the efficiency of
scientific research, and utilizing their results to ensure the development of all spheres of social life, as well as
to support scientific activities as a type of labor activity. It seems appropriate to improve administrative legal
measures in scientific activities related to customs by: 1) adopting the Regulation on the Scientific Council of
the State Customs Service of Ukraine; 2) approving priority areas of scientific activity in the customs field;
3) forming normative-institutional foundations for the separation of the Customs Affairs Academy.
The research methodology is determined by the defined goal and set tasks and includes various methods of
scientific cognition, approaches, and actions aimed at obtaining new scientific results during the study of
the issue of determining the administrative-legal nature of the licensing procedure for educational activities.
During the research, general and special methods of scientific cognition were applied, including the method
of systemic analysis, the dialectical method, formal-logical methods, structural-functional and comparativelegal methods, as well as a number of empirical methods. These ultimately made it possible to determine
the significance of administrative-legal measures in the regulation of scientific activities, with a focus on the
customs-legal sphere of scientific cognition.
The features of administrative legal measures, mediated by their sectoral affiliation in the field of scientific
activity, are highlighted: a) the institutional criterion, emphasizing the status of the majority of subjects
regulating the field of scientific activity as entities endowed with certain authoritative and regulatory powers;
b) the functional criterion, indicating the predominant application of the dispositive method of influence and
the corresponding encouraging administrative-legal measures aimed at the development of science in general
and the support of the qualitative and competitive state of scientific activity; c) the structural criterion, which
underlies the definition of the place of administrative-legal measures in the regulation of scientific activity.
