Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic was a crash test not only for the health-care system but also for the entire system of public administration. In this study, a hypothesis that pre-pandemic leadership and high efficiency of the public administration are one of the core prerequisites for national security resistance to shocks caused by the pandemic is developed. In order to test this hypothesis, the National Security Index based on a systematic combination of the principal components analysis, Fishburn formula, and additive-multiplicative convolution are developed. This integrated indicator takes into account the economic, social, environmental, resource, and energy perspectives of national security. Based on the literature review, a set of indicators for quantitative assessment of leadership and efficiency of the public administration sector has been identified. In this study, the strength and character of the relationship between the level of national security and indicators of leadership and efficiency of the public administration sector in the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods are empirically substantiated. The study was conducted on the basis of data generated from the World Data Bank for 2000–2021 (or last available period). The findings will reveal specific patterns of the level of resistance of countries to the destructive effects of COVID-19, as well as their perceptiveness to regulatory interventions to overcome the pandemic crisis.
