Background. The formation of a new world order raises the issue of global security. Today, 9 countries possess nuclear weapons. They are unofficially called the "nuclear club". They include: The United States of America, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the French Republic, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of India, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and the State of Israel, which does not officially confirm the presence of nuclear warheads. Given the growing confrontation between these states, in particular the United States, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the French Republic on one hand, and the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on the other, the question arises of a mechanism for deterring, controlling, and preventing a conflict that, without exaggeration, could become the last conflict of human civilization. It is also necessary to take into account other threats and challenges that directly affect global security, such as climate change, migration, the threat of famine, soil degradation, lack of drinking water, etc. International security institutions can and should act as such structures. Today's security organizations cannot perform these security functions, so there is an urgent question of their transformation in order to increase their ability to ensure and maintain global peace and order. The purpose is to study the transformation of international security institutions in the context of the formation of a new world order. The object of study is international security institutions.

Methods. The research methods used are modern general and special methods of scientific research, including, in particular: analysis was used to process scientific and analytical sources; structural and functional - to study the actors of the international security system; inductive and deductive - to analyze and summarize information on the subject of the study; forecasting and synthesis methods were used to formulate conclusions and recommendations based on the results of the study.

Results. The author reviews scientific and analytical works on the issues of the formation of a new world order and the transformation of international security institutions. The author emphasizes the issues that constitute the main problem of transformation of international security institutions in the context of the formation of a new world order. At the same time, the author states that the analysis of research and publications by domestic and foreign scholars on the change of global security players in the new environment allows to conclude that, at present, during the rapidly changing global security situation, they have not substantively studied the transformation of existing security institutions. Further, based on the analysis of the current security situation in the world and the impact of existing international security institutions on it, the researcher showed the main directions that, in his opinion, are aimed at understanding the transformation of international security institutions in the context of the formation of a new world order, and therefore at ensuring global security.

Conclusions. The study has led to the following conclusions: the analysis of the works of domestic and foreign scholars and analysts has made it possible to outline the main existing problems with the activities and possible transformation of international security institutions in the context of the formation of a new world order and to state that more attention should be paid to it in order to ensure international peace and stability. The analysis of the current international situation has shown that the activities of the existing international security organizations in the context of global transformations do not meet current requirements and do not contain clearly defined ways to address this issue, and therefore require reflection and initiation of measures to transform international institutions into more effective and efficient international security bodies for ensuring and maintaining security. The study also notes that the involvement of the scientific and political community in the processes of transformation of international security institutions in the context of the formation of a new world order is an important aspect of enhancing the status, role, image and authority of international security organizations.
