PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN POST-CONFLICT RECONSTRUCTION: UKRAINIAN REALITIES AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

Анотація

The problem of post-conflict reconstruction amidst an ongoing war is particularly relevant due to the necessity of balancing two key objectives: the rapid rebuilding of infrastructure essential for the functioning of society and the implementation of reforms aimed at enhancing the state’s investment attractiveness, promoting socio-economic modernization, and introducing modern educational standards. The fulfillment of these tasks is closely tied to the role of public authorities, which serve as the primary agents of the reconstruction process – from assessing the extent of destruction to integrating new practices and mechanisms in the context of socio-economic transformation. The purpose of this article is to examine global practices applicable to the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, taking into account its specific circumstances. The research methodology combines institutional and structural-functional approaches, enabling an analysis of how institutional transformations impact the implementation of recovery projects. The methods employed include document analysis, case studies, synthesis, and generalization. The study concludes that Ukraine requires both the adoption of global best practices in post-conflict reconstruction and the development of its own mechanisms, tailored to the specific nature of the destruction and occupation. The research also reveals that Ukraine needs differentiated recovery strategies for areas under its control and those still occupied. Additionally, the role of public authorities is emphasized as critical, requiring improvements in management practices and the establishment of safeguards against corruption and abuse. It is further demonstrated that the recovery process necessitates enhancements in both the legislative framework and the organizational structure of public authorities, with a focus on incorporating prioritization and planning principles across different levels of recovery efforts. Lastly, digital technologies are highlighted as instrumental in advancing recovery objectives, as they can streamline administrative processes, improve Ukraine’s investment rating, facilitate the compensation process for war-damaged property, and assist communities in executing recovery projects.
