To ensure the efficient State border management system in the context of implementation of the State policy for integrated border management, an in-depth cognition and understanding of variable states of the State border security objects and the subjects of integrated border management is needed.

The purpose of the article is to generalize the historical periods during which the integrated border management system has been formed and developed in Ukraine.

The article shows the main stages through which in Ukraine the border policy was developed and the European mechanisms for integrated border management were introduced. Besides, main concerns and areas of action with regard to border security enhancement have been outlined. Determining the stages of border policy development, national experience on the following issues is taken into account: improvement of the legislative and regulatory framework of Ukraine relating to the State borders; implementation of the European mechanisms for integrated border management; exercise by the border authority of law enforcement powers; introduction of criminal analysis and risk analysis. The author emphasizes that introduction of the integrated border management mechanisms stems from the need to find a compromise between enhancement of the freedom of movement of persons across the State border, transportation of goods and ensuring of adequate counteraction to cross-border crime. The author mentions main scientific categories used in the theory of integrated border management. In particular: mechanisms for integrated border management; border policy principles; grounds, powers and activity methods of its subjects; objects of integrated border management; methods and tools of integrated border management; functions of integrated border management; the State border protection model and its basic components; the system of indices and indicators of the effectiveness of border policy implementation; systems of quality improvement of border management and social responsibility. The author notes that the following remains insufficiently investigated: methodology of integrated border management; mechanisms and tools for border policy implementation; the State border protection model and its basic components; border management procedures and technologies; the system of indices and indicators of the effectiveness of border policy implementation. Attention is focused on the need to improve: allocation of tasks and functions among border security subjects; bringing the tasks and functions of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in line with its mission; implementation, within the border management framework, of recommendations of international standards for continuous improvement of the quality of operation and social responsibility of organizations.

Based on the historical analysis of the prerequisites for forming and developing of the integrated border management system in Ukraine, six historical periods are identified which differed from each other significantly by the principles according to which the State border protection was organized, and the content of each of these periods is described.
