Managing the International Competitiveness of Countries in the Context of Postwar Economic Recovery

Анотація

The article examines the features of managing the international competitiveness of countries in the context of postwar economic recovery based on a comparative analysis of the experiences of South Korea, Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine. The relevance of the study is driven by the need to develop an effective model for the recovery of Ukraine’s economy after the full-scale war, taking into account the international experience of countries that have experienced significant military or systemic shocks and were able to restore and strengthen their competitive positions in the global economy. The aim of the article is to substantiate the theoretical foundations and develop practical recommendations for managing the international competitiveness of Ukraine’s economy in the context of postwar recovery, based on a comparative analysis of the experiences of countries that have undergone military conflicts. The article analyzes the dynamics of key macroeconomic indicators, including GDP growth or decline rates, GDP per capita, volumes of foreign direct investment, and the share of exports in GDP, inflation, unemployment, and demographic changes in the periods before the war, during the war shock, and post-crisis adaptation. Special attention is paid to the role of institutional factors, State economic policy, and foreign economic integration in shaping long-term competitiveness. The study’s findings indicate that, despite differing historical and geopolitical contexts, the countries analyzed faced similar challenges, including large-scale destruction, reduced investment activity, high inflationary risks, worsening demographic conditions, and a decline in trust toward economic institutions. At the same time, successful examples of postwar recovery highlight the critical importance of an active role of the State, targeted industrial and investment policies, export development, and attracting international financial support. It is concluded that enhancing Ukraine’s international competitiveness in the context of postwar recovery requires a comprehensive approach that combines macroeconomic stabilization, institutional reforms, investment promotion, and integration into global economic chains. The practical value of this research lies in the potential application of the obtained results in shaping the strategy for Ukraine’s economic recovery and competitive development.
