The authors analyze key challenges of digital transformation, including insufficient IT infrastructure, low levels of digital competence among judges and court personnel, and the judiciary’s traditional cultural closedness. The study underscores the necessity of integrating technical innovations with value-based changes to transition from a bureaucratic to a service-oriented justice model. The paper examines international best practices in judicial transformation, with insights from the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, and post-conflict nations in the 21st century. Key methodological approaches are identified, such as developing comprehensive digitalization strategies, emphasizing user-centric design, encouraging grassroots judicial initiatives, and fostering "soft skills" among judges. The authors emphasize that digitalization must be accompanied by the formation of a new organizational culture grounded in transparency, accountability, user orientation, and openness to innovation. <br>Practical recommendations for the effective transformation of Ukraine’s judiciary include simplifying and digitalizing basic court services, implementing user-friendly electronic registers, establishing interdisciplinary change management teams within courts, and supporting volunteer-driven initiatives to develop innovative solutions. The study places particular emphasis on the need for a comprehensive digital transformation strategy that integrates technological, procedural, and cultural reforms. The authors argue that the introduction of electronic public registers is not merely a tool for judicial optimization but a powerful driver for renewing organizational culture. This transformation is critical for rebuilding public trust in the judiciary, ensuring the rule of law, and creating a favorable environment for Ukraine’s post-war recovery.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25907Confirmation of the principle of the rule of law in the field of public and administrative relations.2025-04-14T01:24:32+00:00Yuriy Drevaldrevaly@ukr.net<p>The article justifies the introduction of digitalization into the human resources policy of the public administration system, including an analysis of global trends in the introduction of digitalization into the human resources policy of the public administration system, and identifies the possibilities of applying artificial intelligence in the human resources policy of the public administration system.

Attention is focused on the relevance of the topic due to rapid digitalization, decentralization processes and increasing social demands that encourage the introduction of innovative approaches in the field of public administration. Geoinformation analysis is seen as a key tool for combining, visualizing, and evaluating spatial data necessary for informed decisions in the public sector. The paper summarizes previous research on e-government, including the analysis of technical, social, and legal aspects. The authors draw attention to the limited research aimed at integrating geographic information systems into e-government practices. The insufficient use of GIS in the processes of assessing the competitiveness of territories is revealed, which emphasizes the need to develop new management approaches. The methodological approach of the study includes systematization, analysis, generalization and deductive methods, which allowed a deeper understanding of the essence of e-government and the possibilities of its modernization using GIS. The main content of the article reveals the concept of competitiveness of territories assessed through indicators of economic growth, living standards, access to basic services, development of innovations and management efficiency. The importance of geoinformation analysis for increasing transparency and efficiency of management decision-making is emphasized. The need to introduce GIS into e-government processes against the background of digital transformations is highlighted. The analysis of international experience in the use of geographic information technologies in European countries, such as Germany, Denmark, Finland, and Switzerland, demonstrates the effectiveness of GIS integration into public administration strategies.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25911Public-private partnership: conceptual basis and features of implementation in Ukraine.2025-04-14T01:24:56+00:00Oleg VashevOleg.Vashev@gmail.comStanislav Khyzhniakkhyzhniak.stanislav27@gmail.com<p>The article provides a detailed analysis of the conceptual foundations of public-private partnership (PPP) as an important mechanism of interaction between the public and private sectors, which allows to effectively solve socially important tasks using innovative approaches and business resources. The role of PPP in the modern management of state assets and infrastructure projects is substantiated, as well as its importance for improving the quality of public services is determined. An analysis of key PPP models, such as concession, leasing, joint venture, and others, which are actively used in international practice, was carried out. Attention is focused on the advantages and disadvantages of each of the models, as well as on the conditions under which their use is most appropriate and effective.<br>A separate section of the article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the implementation of public-private partnership in Ukraine. The regulatory and legal framework regulating PPPs, as well as organizational mechanisms and institutions involved in the partnership process, were analyzed. The main obstacles to the development of PPPs in Ukraine are identified, among which legal uncertainty, administrative barriers, an imperfect system of assessing risks and benefits, as well as a low level of institutional support stand out.<br>The article provides examples of successful PPP projects implemented in various sectors of Ukraine’s economy, in particular in energy, transport, and utilities, which demonstrate the positive impact of partnership on the socio-economic development of the country. The prospects for the development of PPPs in key sectors, such as health care, where the private sector can make a significant contribution to modernizing infrastructure and improving the quality of services, are outlined.<br>The article also pays attention to the analysis of modern trends in the development of public-private partnership at the global level, which allows to determine the main vectors of transformation of this model of interaction in the conditions of constant economic challenges and growing public needs. In particular, innovative approaches to PPP financing are considered, including the implementation of digital technologies, blockchain and green financing tools that can contribute to increased transparency and reduced risks in partnerships.<br>The issue of risks in public-private projects, which are associated with economic instability, changes in legislation and the need to ensure the interests of both parties, has also been studied. Recommendations for the development of effective mechanisms for risk distribution and improvement of monitoring mechanisms are offered, which will minimize possible negative consequences and increase confidence on the part of investors.<br>In addition, attention is focused on the importance of integrating PPPs into the state development strategy and the need to create a favorable investment climate, which will contribute to the attraction of foreign investors and the expansion of opportunities for the implementation of large-scale projects. In the context of Ukrainian realities, the potential for PPP development in the regional dimension is considered, which will allow for more uniform development of infrastructure and improve the quality of life of the population in different parts of the country.<br>Thus, the article provides a comprehensive view of public-private partnership as a strategic development tool, emphasizing its role in reforming various sectors of Ukraine’s economy and creating sustainable socio-economic effects.<br>The results of the study can be useful for policymakers, business representatives and scientists who are working on finding optimal models of cooperation between the state and the private sector to achieve sustainable development in Ukraine.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25912State policy of renewable energy development in Ukraine.2025-04-14T01:25:09+00:00Tatyana Koroliukkoroliuk.tetiana@kneu.edu.uaYulia Zvierievychuzverevic@gmail.com<p>The article explores the current aspects of state policy on the development of renewable energy in the context of global challenges related to climate change, depletion of traditional resources, and environmental pollution. It reveals the characteristics of renewable and alternative energy sources, their advantages, and their role in strengthening energy security, ecological sustainability, and ensuring economic growth. The article analyzes the legal framework, institutional structure, and current state of renewable energy development in the context of war, which made it possible to identify key issues and justify the directions for improving state policy in this area. The importance of developing a decentralized energy system as one of the approaches to enhancing energy resilience to external threats is emphasized. The necessity of improving the legal framework, optimizing the functions of government bodies, ensuring coordinated interaction between the state and the private sector in developing and implementing renewable energy projects, and stimulating scientific research and investments for achieving sustainable development of the energy sector is highlighted.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25913Current trends in the development of digitalization and implementation of innovation in the sphere of public-private partnership.2025-04-14T01:25:17+00:00Mykola NegrychN5085878@gmail.comAndriy Blyznyukabliznyuk1986@gmail.com<p>It has been established that the presence of a sectoral strategy for digital transformation allows us to determine a single vector of industry development and synchronize the directions of innovation activities of the main participants. Currently, the direction of digital development is contained in a number of sectoral programs, but the degree of their depth and elaboration at this stage of development cannot be called corresponding to the important goals assigned to the direction of digitalization of the economy.<br>It has been proven that domestic practice in the innovation sphere shows both the importance of market forces and the significant role of the state in stimulating innovative activity. The directions and scale of state support are currently important sources of development of the digital economy. At the same time, significant digital transformations can be achieved only under the condition of simultaneous "movement from below", when organizations and citizens are the drivers of development. The study shows that the formation of an effective digital economy requires the establishment of interaction between: the state and business; the state and society; business and society.<br>Such interactions in Ukraine have been actively developing in recent years within the framework of concession institutions and public-private partnership. Therefore, it is advisable to use the approaches and solutions obtained within the framework of the functioning of these institutes, as well as to use these mechanisms themselves for a more successful implementation of the achievements of the digital economy. The most promising areas that stand out allow for the integration of the business, state and scientific sectors into certain technological areas that have the greatest prospects and significance.<br>The development of the digital economy can lead to the emergence of an economy of a new technological order. Transformational changes will occur not only at the level of individual areas, but also at the level of entire industries and the macroeconomic system as a whole. This can be presented as a new technological order in addition to the already existing approaches, according to which 6 or 7 technological orders are distinguished.<br>Of course, digital technologies are an integral part of the fourth to sixth modes, but the new wave of digitalization will affect the established methods of economic activity in most areas of economic activity, social and public spheres, which is why it is worth concluding about the existence of a separate seventh mode, which is almost entirely based on the achievements of the digital economy. At the same time, the development of the digital economy is currently not progressing at a high enough pace. An analysis of the development of innovation processes in the digital economy of Ukraine shows that this sphere is not even close to the leaders in the national economy, neither in absolute nor in dynamic characteristics, and continues to experience a high dependence on imported developments. Indeed, it is difficult to talk about the significant role of digital technologies in the economy of Ukraine, despite all the efforts and all the attention that has been paid to this direction in recent years. Accordingly, it is necessary to activate innovation processes based on digital tools.<br>Within the framework of the development of the digital economy, which can be considered as an integral part of innovation processes, there is a high probability of the appearance of obstacles characteristic of innovation activity in general. Thus, within the framework of the development of the digital economy, special attention should currently be paid to the formation of a favorable innovation climate (digital climate) and the elimination of existing barriers and restrictions at the level of the national innovation system, innovation systems of regions and municipalities, industries, as well as the shortcomings of innovative business entities.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25914Transformation of the public administration system in modern Ukraine: analysis of basic principles and approaches.2025-04-14T01:25:23+00:00Maxim Khozhylom.khozhylo@gmail.com<p>The article examines the processes of transformation of the public administration system in Ukraine in the context of modern challenges caused by both internal reform processes and external influences, in particular, European integration and globalisation, full-scale war and problems related to it. The article analyses key approaches to the modernisation of public administration, including the adaptation of European governance standards, implementation of the principles of transparency, accountability, efficiency and focus on the needs of citizens. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the legal framework governing the reform of the public administration system, as well as to the practical implementation of the decentralisation concept, which has become one of the most significant reforms of recent years.<br>The article examines the peculiarities of organisation of public services, digital transformation of management processes and innovative approaches to decision-making at various levels of government. The author identifies the main challenges facing public administration, including imperfect communication mechanisms between the authorities and civil society, lack of qualified personnel and slow adaptation to European standards, corruption risks and the ‘legacy’ of the USSR.<br>The author emphasises the need to introduce integrated approaches that take into account both national peculiarities and the best international practices, existing military challenges and the processes of subsequent post-war reconstruction.<br>Promising directions for improving public administration are proposed, including: increasing the level of digitalisation and automation of management processes, developing human capital in the public administration system, introducing effective mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of reforms. The findings may be useful for developing practical recommendations for improving the efficiency of public authorities and local self-government bodies aimed at achieving the goals of sustainable development of Ukraine.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25915The current state of application of the media-communicative mechanism of public administration in Ukraine. 2025-04-14T01:25:27+00:00Ivan Lopatchenkoivan.lopatchenko@gmail.com<p>The importance of media communication in public administration is due to the need for rapid and high-quality exchange of information between state structures and citizens. In the context of globalization and digitalization of society, media resources are becoming not only a tool for information, but also a platform for two-way dialogue, public control and citizen involvement in management processes. In addition, the media-communicative mechanism plays an important role in shaping public opinion, ensuring accountability and responsibility of state structures to citizens. The successful implementation of media-communicative technologies contributes to strengthening trust in government bodies, improving the quality of public services and creating conditions for active participation of citizens in democratic processes.<br>Thus, the study of modern approaches to the application of the media-communicative mechanism of public administration in Ukraine, especially in modern conditions of war, is an urgent task that requires systematic analysis, the introduction of innovative technologies and the development of effective communication strategies in the field of public administration.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25917The meaning of the category “public interest” in the public administration system.2025-04-14T01:25:32+00:00Yuriy Drevaldrevaly@ukr.netDmytro Karamyshevdvk1vip@gmail.comDaniel VelychkoVel057law@gmail.com<p>The article examines the main aspects of the problem of the ratio of private and public interest in the context of public administration, in particular the issue of harmonizing private and public interests, the role of public administration in ensuring the public interest, as well as ways to resolve conflicts between the interests of the state and an individual. The essence and meaning of the category “public interest” in the theory and practice of public administration are investigated. The problems of the ratio of interests of a person and the state, private and public interest are considered. The ways of harmonizing the state interest with the public and a set of private interests are analyzed. The statement that public administration is always aimed at the implementation and provision of the public interest is substantiated. Ways of solving the problem of harmonizing state interests and the interests of an individual are proposed. It is proven that the subject of public interest is a public need that has a social character and is necessary for the full functioning and development of society and individual social groups.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25918Public policy on support and development of participatory democracy at the regional level: philosophical dimension. 2025-04-14T01:25:38+00:00Veronika Kovalchukcovveron@ukr.netOleksandr Rudenkorudenko.aleks2020@gmail.com<p>The article examines the public policy of supporting and developing participatory democracy at the regional level through the prism of the philosophical dimension, in particular, through the analysis of the axiosphere of society. Participatory democracy is viewed as a process that depends not only on institutional mechanisms but also on citizens’ value orientations, the level of social capital, and trust in state institutions. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the authors apply axiological analysis, comparative method and qualitative content analysis to determine the relationship between the value structures of society and the effectiveness of participatory democracy mechanisms.<br>The results of the study show that public policy should take into account axiological factors as a basis for building effective models of regional governance that promote sustainable democratic development. It has been found that successful practices of democratic participation are based on a high level of social trust, political culture and the authorities’ readiness to engage in an open dialogue with civil society. The insufficient level of these factors can reduce the effectiveness of democratic processes even in the presence of well-developed institutional mechanisms.<br>The author outlines prospects for further research in the area of developing strategies for integrating value aspects into participatory politics, analyzing the mechanisms of democratic culture formation, and comparative research on the effectiveness of regional models of participatory democracy in different countries.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25919Conceptual approaches to unevenness of regional development: management aspect.2025-04-14T01:25:43+00:00Marina Novikovanovikova@kname.edu.uaOleksandr Manoylenkoaleksvman@gmail.comRoman Sobolsobol_roma@ukr.netMaria Sobolmaresobol@gmail.com<p>The article considers the managerial aspect of conceptual approaches to the unevenness of regional development. The current state of regional development management is characterized as a systemic crisis, which means that the economy is simultaneously in a state of structural, institutional, investment, debt, social and other crises. In connection with the above, this means the inadmissibility of using the traditional technique of extrapolation of formed trends for forecasting the regional development of Ukraine and its individual territories. An immediate transition to a new method of forecasting and management of regional development, focused on the search for new opportunities for economic growth based on the activation of existing and creation of new competitive advantages of the Ukrainian economy, is necessary.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25921Theoretical basis of modernization of public administration in the conditions of digitalization of public relations. 2025-04-14T01:25:48+00:00Natalia Korotchenkon.korotchenko@promodo.com<p>Public administration in the context of digitalization of public relations requires digital transformation and reform of the existing system. One of the key tasks for public authorities today is to move away from established stereotypes of carrying out their activities and transition to new models that correspond to radical changes in social reality. One of the important areas of public administration in the context of digitalization of public relations is the formation and correction of the personal information space of citizens and public servants.<br>The article examines theoretical approaches to the modernization of public administration: public-administrative, political-sociological, social-legal, information-communicative. Problematic issues that may serve as an obstacle to digitalization in public administration are identified.<br>The factors of modernization of public administration and the features of the implementation of tools for the formation and correction of citizens’ personal information space are summarized.<br>The modern approach to the modernization of public administration in the context of digitalization of public relations should take into account: factors that influence the modernization of public administration; ways propaganda enters the personal information bubble through advertising and recommendations, bots that take personal preferences into account, bloggers and pseudo-experts, pseudo-local media, pseudo-patriotic media; algorithmization and personalization of the personal information bubble.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25922Theoretical basis of public management of road economy development.2025-04-14T01:25:56+00:00Anatoly Tymokhaanatoliy.tymokha@gmail.com<p>The article is devoted to the question of the role of ethical management, which is proposed to be implemented in the format of a model. Because ethical management is conceived by the author as a dynamic and continuous process that needs to adapt to the changing internal and external context of the organization, such as industry, market, stakeholders, culture and values. Ethical governance benefits organizations by improving reputation, trust, loyalty, productivity and profitability, and by avoiding legal, regulatory and reputational risks. It is emphasized that ethical management can be implemented in the form of a model. In turn, an ethical management model requires awareness, commitment and action from all levels of the organization, especially top management. The author states that in order for the ethical model of management to become effective, it must first be guided by a certain set of criteria (components) that must be followed so that management within the organization and its development takes place in line with ethical principles and principles. The following are highlighted among them: honesty, integrity, justice, kindness, legality, perfection, leadership and responsibility. It is shown that conceptually ethical management can be implemented through a number of approaches. In particular, this traditional approach involves the implementation through society’s perception of management as an ethical category, under the conditions of performance of the assigned tasks by the team without going beyond the framework of ethical norms and standards. A principled approach is based on the use of ethical criteria to guide behavior, actions and policies in an organization. The approach to the survey in the field of ethical regulation is based on short practical questions that regulate the behavior and process of ethical decision-making in the organization.<br>It is concluded that each individual brings his own ethical profile to the workplace and is ultimately responsible for his actions or decisions from an ethical point of view. However, organizations can and do influence the quality of ethical decisions made by their leaders, managers, and employees, as well as the ethical principles they adhere to and refer to when making these decisions, thereby implementing ethical governance at work.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25942Resource-environmental component of regional government under the conditions of marital state in Ukraine: strategy of european state-formation.2025-04-14T01:26:05+00:00Valery Vorotinvevorotin@gmail.comVasyl Prodanyknubiru9x9@gmail.com<p>Currently, Ukraine is in the process of forming a new state regional policy under martial law. This process takes place on the basis of the use of ecological mechanisms of public administration and their legislative support in the difficult conditions of Russian aggression and the implementation of European norms (regulations) in this sphere of public relations. The purpose of such formation is to create conditions for preserving or restoring the quality of human life, environmentalization and compliance with state-guaranteed social standards for every citizen, regardless of his place of residence. This happens through ensuring the territorially integrated and balanced development of Ukraine, the integration of regions into a single economic, political, legal, informational and cultural space, the maximum full use of their potential taking into account natural, political, historical, cultural, social and other features, increasing the competitiveness of regions and implementation of effective self-management.<br>The article substantiates that environmental and resource development cannot be realized without real decentralization of the management system, strengthening of self-government in Ukraine and the involvement of territorial communities in the formation and implementation of the policy (strategic vision) of regional and local development, in particular in the field of ecology and restoration resources.<br>State regional development strategy for 2021-2027 (with changes), which was approved by the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated August 13, 2024. No. 940, remains the main planning document for the implementation of sectoral development strategies, coordination of state policy in various spheres. The strategy defines certain achievements in the effectiveness of the use of state resources in territorial communities and regions in the interests of people, the unity of the state, the sustainable development of historical settlements and the preservation of the traditional nature of the historical environment, the preservation of the natural environment and the sustainable use of natural resources for the current and future generations of Ukrainians after the Victory [1].<br>It has been proven that the most significant challenges to which the state must respond through the development and implementation of state regional policy are the inability of most territorial communities to independently resolve issues within their jurisdiction.

A comprehensive analysis of the main advantages of using blockchain to increase the efficiency, transparency and security of management processes in crisis situations is carried out, among which special attention is paid to such characteristics as decentralization, immutability of records, transparency and data security. The author examines in detail examples of successful implementation of blockchain technologies in different countries of the world to solve a wide range of public administration tasks in emergency situations, in particular to establish effective coordination of actions of various entities, ensure transparent distribution of resources and humanitarian aid, reliable verification of information and consolidation of data from various sources.<br>Based on the analysis of advanced foreign experience, the feasibility and prospects of using smart contracts on the blockchain to automate management decision-making processes and minimize corruption risks when responding to emergencies are substantiated. The potential of smart contracts for optimizing such processes as the distribution of financial assistance, the implementation of compensation payments to victims, monitoring the targeted use of resources and other aspects of crisis management, where the human factor and discretionary powers create the prerequisites for abuse, is revealed.<br>Based on the identified advantages and successful examples, the article proposes scientifically sound ways and mechanisms for implementing blockchain technologies into the public emergency management system in Ukraine, taking into account its specifics and existing challenges. In particular, the following key areas of implementation are identified: the development of an appropriate regulatory framework, the creation of the necessary technical infrastructure, increasing the level of digital competencies of public servants, and the implementation of pilot projects in various areas of crisis management. At the same time, the importance of ensuring a strategic and comprehensive approach to the implementation of blockchain, which will take into account not only technological, but also institutional, organizational and socio-cultural aspects of the digital transformation of public administration, is emphasized.<br>The potential areas of application of blockchain in Ukrainian realities are outlined, where distributed ledger technology can bring the greatest added value in the context of improving public administration in crisis conditions. These include the creation of secure databases for information exchange between different entities, increasing accountability and transparency in the processes of distributing financial and humanitarian assistance, automation of insurance payments and compensation for victims, crowdsourcing and validation of data on the scale and consequences of emergencies. The possibilities of using blockchain in combination with other advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, big data for developing innovative early warning systems, risk forecasting and management of critical infrastructure of the state and territorial communities in crisis conditions are revealed.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25945Public Management of Intellectual Resources for National Security: What are the Prospects for the Idea of Regional Hubs of Expert Resources?2025-04-14T01:26:14+00:00Igor Dunayevi.dunaev@karazin.uaYugene Soloviovljuka76@gmail.com<p>The article explores the prospects for the development of regional hubs of expert resources in Ukraine as an innovative model for organizing public management of intellectual support for national security in the face of hybrid threats and geopolitical turbulence. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of global trends and models of decentralization of expert resources in the security sphere, highlighting key determinants and variability of approaches in different countries and regions of the world. Particular attention is paid to the experience of leading international security alliances and think tanks, such as NATO, AUKUS, and RAND Corporation, which develop adaptive networked ecosystems of expertise capable of rapidly mobilizing intelligence to respond to the complex challenges of our time. The authors investigate the principles and mechanisms of horizontal interaction in the formation of interregional expert communities, emphasizing the importance of shared values, trust, inclusiveness, and technological base. Based on the analysis of the role and models of functioning of local competence centers in different countries, the authors outline the potential and challenges of building a network of regional security hubs in Ukraine. In particular, the need to overcome structural constraints and anachronistic approaches to the organization of analytical work, ensure adequate resources and technological support, develop horizontal links and a culture of collaboration between the public, private, and civil society sectors is emphasized. The authors propose promising mechanisms for the expert community to influence security policy in the context of Russian aggression, including intensifying expert diplomacy, creating "coalitions of support" within the country, developing joint projects with partners from Central and Eastern European countries, and actively using public diplomacy and strategic communication tools. The conclusions emphasize that building an influential network of regional security hubs is a strategic task for Ukraine, which requires systematic investments in the development of analytical capabilities, cross-sectoral cooperation, and communication with society. The article has an interdisciplinary character at the intersection of national security, public administration, and network analysis, and will be of interest to scholars, experts, and practitioners dealing with the transformation of the security expertise system in the context of global challenges.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25946Modernization of social relations in the context of social changes under conditions of hybrid threats.2025-04-14T01:26:18+00:00Viktor Yelahinelaginvp@ukr.netNatalia Luhovenkonata_vict@ukr.ne<p>By emphasizing the urgent needs of the population under martial law, the article provides an overview of the most critical aspects of social policy and the resolution of social issues arising during the war in Ukraine. The necessity for the social and legal state of Ukraine to improve political and social mechanisms within the modern paradigm of state-building under conditions of hybrid threats is clearly defined.<br>It is determined that the country’s economy, for its further development during martial law, significantly depends on the availability of sufficient resources, primarily human resources, the volume of which is constantly decreasing.

It emphasizes that the modern world, marked by high turbulence, demands public finance professionals to possess not only traditional expertise but also advanced digital skills, including data analysis, digital literacy, strategic thinking, and the ability to make informed decisions under uncertainty. The impact of emergencies, particularly armed conflicts, on the public finance system is analysed, highlighting the need for modernization of management approaches through the integration of innovative digital technologies. The paper systematizes the theoretical and methodological foundations of developing digital competencies, defining their essence, structure, and significance for enhancing the efficiency of the budgeting process, revenue and expenditure management, financial risk monitoring, and accountability. The distinctive features of implementing digital competencies during wartime are outlined, focusing on the extraordinary strain on public finance systems caused by budget deficits, shifting funding priorities, and the need for rapid responses to humanitarian challenges. Particular attention is paid to methodological approaches for developing digital competencies among public finance professionals. These include building skills in data analysis, strategic thinking, leveraging artificial intelligence technologies, automating processes, and ensuring financial transparency. Practical cases from Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Estonia, and other countries are presented, illustrating successful experiences in the digital transformation of public financial management. The authors propose a combination of formal and informal educational formats, including veteran training, the introduction of Chief Data Officer positions, digital key performance indicators (KPIs) for public officials, and the integration of artificial intelligence into budgeting processes. The study substantiates that the development of digital competencies is not only a tool for enhancing the efficiency of public financial management but also a critical factor in ensuring institutional resilience during emergencies and wartime challenges. The conclusions of the article aim to foster a new governance culture oriented towards innovation, transparency, and adaptability, which will form the foundation for Ukraine’s recovery and development in the post-war period.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25948The role of inclusive communications and strategic narrative in public administration under martial law and emergency conditions.2025-04-14T01:26:39+00:00Natalia Stativkanstativka@ukr.net<p>This paper explores the role of inclusive communications and strategic narratives in shaping effective public administration during martial law and emergency situations. It addresses the challenges of ensuring social resilience, societal cohesion, and trust in public institutions amidst prolonged warfare and large-scale humanitarian crises. The paper highlights key conceptual approaches to inclusivity in public administration, grounded in the principles of dialogic communication, human-centered governance, and equitable engagement between authorities and citizens. Drawing on a comparative analysis of communication practices in Croatia, Georgia, and Israel, which faced prolonged armed conflicts, the study identifies essential principles for developing inclusive communications: engaging socially vulnerable groups, tailoring narratives to local contexts, integrating digital platforms for citizen interaction, and crafting unifying strategic narratives. Special attention is given to the application of inclusive approaches in Ukraine, currently in a state of war with Russia. The study analyzes existing public communication strategies employed by Ukrainian institutions, particularly in the context of the informational reintegration of temporarily occupied territories, support for internally displaced persons, and assistance to the families of fallen soldiers. A conceptual model is proposed for integrating inclusivity into strategic narratives of public administration. This model emphasizes the creation of a «narrative of hope,» fostering citizen participation in decision-making processes, utilizing empathetic communication to address psychological trauma, and enhancing social cohesion. The study employs a multidisciplinary methodology that synthesizes theoretical foundations from public administration, social psychology, conflict studies, and communication theory. Its empirical basis includes case studies of international experiences and a content analysis of official documents and sociological surveys in Ukraine. The findings demonstrate that effectively integrating inclusive approaches into strategic communications can consolidate society, reinforce the legitimacy of public institutions, and lay the foundation for Ukraine’s post-war recovery. The proposed model can be adapted for implementation at both national and local levels of public administration.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25950Methodology for developing a national cybersecurity strategy2025-04-14T01:26:44+00:00Yevhen Zhyvylozhivilka@i.ua<p>Since their inception, ICTs have become the foundation of modern business, critical services and infrastructure, social networks and the global economy as a whole.<br>As a result, national leaders have begun to implement digital strategies and finance projects aimed at expanding access to the Internet and harnessing the benefits of ICTs to stimulate economic growth, increase productivity and efficiency, improve service delivery and empowerment, ensure access to business and information, enable e-learning, improve workforce skills and promote good governance.<br>While our societies are increasingly dependent on digital infrastructure, technologies remain inherently vulnerable.

Based on the analysis of modern scientific concepts, the essence and characteristic features of hybrid influences in the information sphere are revealed, which are based on a synergistic combination of traditional methods of propaganda and disinformation with innovative manipulative technologies and covert forms of intervention with the aim of destabilizing society, controlling mass consciousness and undermining trust in government institutions. The author thoroughly analyzes the key vulnerabilities of the domestic information space to hybrid threats, in particular, he emphasizes the problems of the low level of media literacy of a significant part of the population, the significant spread of Russian disinformation narratives and fakes of an anti-Ukrainian direction in the Ukrainian media environment, institutional weakness and insufficient coordination of actions of state authorities in the field of strategic communications and ensuring information security. Considerable attention is paid to the consideration of the external context of the information war against Ukraine, associated with the geopolitical positioning of our state at the intersection of the interests of various centers of power, which actively use the tools of information and psychological influence to achieve their own goals.<br>Based on the systematization and critical reflection of advanced foreign experience in the field of countering hybrid threats by means of information policy, key priorities for the development of the relevant tools in Ukraine have been identified. In particular, special emphasis is placed on the feasibility of building a comprehensive system of media education and increasing the digital literacy of citizens based on best European practices, strengthening institutional capacity in the field of strategic communications by creating specialized units for the analysis of disinformation and debunking fakes, establishing an effective partnership of the state with leading social networks and Internet platforms in order to limit the spread of destructive content, as well as strengthening information interaction between the authorities and civil society to increase trust in official sources. The importance of implementing a proactive information policy aimed at forming a positive agenda and establishing national narratives based on democratic values and national interests of Ukraine is argued.<br>It is substantiated that the effectiveness of countering hybrid threats in the information sphere depends not only on the use of adequate tactical tools, but also on the implementation of systemic democratic reforms aimed at increasing the inclusiveness, transparency and accountability of public administration. Only an organic combination of the information policy development strategy with practical steps aimed at strengthening national identity, consolidating society around a common vision of the future and developing civic activism can ensure the necessary level of resilience to the aggressor’s information operations. At the same time, the need for further comprehensive research into innovative forms and methods of countering hybrid attacks in the conditions of turbulence in global development, taking into account the unique nature of the Ukrainian context, is emphasized.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25952Ensuring the stability of the revenue side of state budget under post-war emergency conditions: Ukrainian experience for the world.2025-04-14T01:27:05+00:00Igor Dunayevi.dunaev@karazin.uaOleksandr Basiukaleksandr.basiuk777@gmail.com<p>This article addresses the critical issue of ensuring the stability of the revenue side of Ukraine’s public finances in post-war emergency conditions. It analyses the performance of Ukraine’s fiscal system during 2022–2024, a period marked by unprecedented challenges, including significant GDP contraction, a sharp rise in budget deficits, infrastructure destruction, and extreme reliance on external financial assistance. Using an analysis of macroeconomic trends, structural transformations in the budget system, and crisis management mechanisms, the study substantiates the need for a systematic approach to assessing fiscal stability under the conditions of a wartime economy. The study’s aim is to identify the key factors contributing to the resilience of Ukraine’s public finances during wartime and to formulate recommendations for adapting these mechanisms to new global and security challenges. The research methodology combines structural-dynamic analysis, scenario forecasting, a systematic risk management approach, and policy analysis, using official data from Ukraine’s Ministry of Finance and international organizations. The fiscal stability assessment matrix developed in the article covers key evaluation aspects, including: budget revenue dynamics, effectiveness of crisis management measures, risk identification, structural transformations, long-term trend forecasting.</p> <p>The findings indicate that Ukraine achieved stabilization of its budget system through a flexible combination of tax reforms, international assistance mobilization, temporary deficit monetization, and fiscal process digitalization. Tax revenues increased from 37.6% in 2022 to 48.5% in 2024, reflecting gradual economic recovery. However, the analysis identified significant structural risks, including excessive dependence on external assistance (up to 13.6% of budget revenues in 2024) and limitations of traditional revenue sources. The study emphasizes that achieving fiscal stability in the medium- and long-term requires several reforms: expanding the tax base through economic de-shadowing and innovative taxation mechanisms; optimizing intergovernmental fiscal relations by enhancing regional tax autonomy; creating an integrated system for fiscal risk management; introducing a medium-term budget framework to account for macroeconomic shocks. Comprehensive digitalization of the budget process to improve transparency and forecast accuracy. The research findings hold practical value for governments of other countries facing extreme economic challenges due to wars or other crises.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25953Main directions for improving public emergency management in Ukraine.2025-04-14T01:27:09+00:00Dmytro Kashchenkoalfik19874@gmail.com<p>The article is devoted to the justification of priority areas for improving the domestic public administration system in the field of civil protection and emergency response in the context of full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Based on the analysis of more than a year of experience in the functioning of state authorities and local self-government bodies in martial law, a number of problematic aspects of an institutional, organizational, material and technical and communication nature have been identified, which reduce the effectiveness of anti-crisis management in the public sphere. In particular, attention is focused on the incompleteness of the formation of a single nationwide civil protection system, insufficient interagency coordination of actions, excessive centralization of powers and resources, the absence of clear protocols for information interaction, and outdated technical equipment of situational centers and emergency headquarters. It is shown that the existing shortcomings of public administration, which were not critical in peacetime, in wartime significantly affect the state’s ability to adequately respond to the sharp increase in military threats and the exponential increase in the number and scale of crisis phenomena. The author proposes a set of practical measures to strengthen the institutional capacity and resilience of public authorities to hybrid aggression in both the short and long term. <br>The need to make changes and additions to the current regulatory framework on civil protection and national security is substantiated in order to regulate the specifics of the functioning of all components of the security sector in martial law. Ways to optimize interagency interaction, the distribution of tasks and resources between the central, regional and local levels of government are identified. Attention is focused on the urgency of building a network of situational centers and crisis headquarters equipped with modern means of communication, information processing, modeling and visualization. The need to implement the latest digital technologies of artificial intelligence and work with big data for timely forecasting of threats and risks, planning of civil protection measures is emphasized. The issue of modernization of the system of training of managerial personnel in the field of national security and defense is separately considered with an emphasis on the development of crisis management and stress resistance competencies. The features of organizing effective communication of authorities with society in the conditions of the spread of destructive information influences and attempts to destabilize the situation by the aggressor are revealed. The importance of further building a culture of security and resilience at the level of both state institutions and local communities is emphasized, which should become part of a comprehensive strategy for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25954Foreign experience in forming state policy in the social sphere2025-04-14T01:27:11+00:00Ruslan Klivadenkokliva_rus@bigmir.net<p>Problems in the activities of the management bodies of the territorial divisions of the state civil protection system were identified. It was proposed to adopt additional systemic measures invested in preventing disasters in the regions and reducing losses from them. It is necessary to continue work on developing a disaster risk reduction system taking into account the specifics of the regions.<br>Systemic measures were proposed. 1. Within the framework of the implementation of the state policy of Ukraine, it is necessary to continue the introduction of modern technologies for forecasting and preventing disasters. 2. To carry out additional measures to modernize anti-crisis management centers and carry out organizational measures to form integrated management in crisis situations.<br>At the same time, in order to increase the effectiveness of the decisions taken, methodological recommendations were proposed to the executive authorities of the regions on implementing additional measures in the field of safety of life of the population: to organize regional supervision, accounting and ensure the safety of hydraulic and other engineering structures for the protection of the population, regardless of departmental affiliation; introduce bans on timber harvesting and other economic activities in territories with a current state of emergency and a special fire prevention regime caused by natural fires; grant the heads of regional and local commissions on technogenic and environmental safety and emergencies the right to use all the forces and means of a unified state system for the prevention and elimination of emergencies located in the region; increase the efficiency of the three-level anti-crisis management system using a modern digital platform; introduce the practice of comprehensive use of all modern means of telecommunications and communications, mass media, and social networks to provide information about dangers and means of protection to the population.<br>3. Take measures to improve the quality and reduce the time for providing assistance to people affected by crisis situations. It is advisable to make changes to the organizational and methodological documents on the implementation of compensation payments to the population that are necessary to improve the mechanism for providing assistance to citizens and control over the activities of relevant local authorities.<br>Currently, the above-mentioned regulatory legal documents are being revised, and new approaches to assisting victims in disaster zones are being developed. The adoption of the necessary regulatory legal documents will simplify the procedures and terms of providing financial assistance to victims in disaster zones. Reserves of financial and material resources should be created in advance in order to urgently attract the necessary funds in case of emergencies, fires and other disasters.<br>It is necessary to simplify the procedures for preparing supporting documents for paying for state housing certificates, repairing and restoring housing, recognizing citizens as victims, supporting small and medium-sized businesses, private entrepreneurs and self-employed people who find themselves in disaster zones. All of the above will allow to increase the level of insurance protection of life, health and property of the population in the event of probable natural and man-made disasters, significantly reduce the costs of budgets of all levels for the prevention and elimination of probable disasters.<br>Other forms and methods of economic support for measures in the field of population safety, prevention and elimination of crisis situations are also used. However, they are applied on a limited scale and do not take into account the peculiarities of the current stage of economic development of Ukraine. The requirement of the time is the effective implementation of the state programs adopted by the Government of Ukraine in the field of protecting the population and territories from crisis situations. Within the framework of the programs, the state and regions should regulate and stimulate measures for the development of the system of economic security of the population in the future, develop and implement long-term measures to increase its efficiency, taking into account work experience.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25955Regulatory and legal security of the activities of the notary in the conditions of marital state.2025-04-14T01:27:11+00:00Bohdan PazdnikovBohdan9417@i.ua<p>In today’s world, war not only threatens peace and security, but also significantly affects the legislation of the country that will be in conflict.

Based on a systemic approach and general principles of managing economic systems as conditions for the functioning of state property objects, the following blocks have been formulated and disclosed: financial and credit, informational, property, legal, social and organizational. Their interpretation allowed to formulate both the management decisions adopted within certain limits, and the possibilities of their implementation, and even the content of the projected impact of the functioning of state property objects.<br>Since property and property are different economic phenomena that imply that property is a system of relations, and property is the objects of these relations, the management of state property seems to be correctly carried out in two directions. First, the management of state property objects represented by real estate, in connection with which it is necessary to organize only at the level of state power structures a management mechanism based on market principles, taking into account the principles of investment planning. Second, the management of the activities of business entities with the participation of state property: management of blocks of shares owned by the state, as well as state enterprises.<br>The problem of managing state property is reduced to clarifying the economic functions of the state. There is a replacement of the concept of "state property" with such concepts as "state sector" and "public sector". There is an absolutization of the material form of wealth. The problem of institutional development of state property relations is reduced to the issue of its privatization. Gradually, not only the problem of state property management, but also the problem of socio-economic maintenance of property remains outside the scope of theoretical and practical research.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25957Analysis of the effectiveness of the financial equalization system in Ukraine in the context of reducing regional disparities. 2025-04-14T01:27:28+00:00Yanina Kaziukyanina.m.k@ukr.netViktor Ventselventsel@ukr.net<p>This article examines the effectiveness of Ukraine’s financial equalization system in addressing regional disparities. The authors explore both theoretical and practical dimensions of horizontal equalization mechanisms for local budgets, implemented as part of the fiscal decentralization reform initiated in 2015. Using statistical data on local budget performance for 2021, the study assesses the extent of financial disparities among territorial communities before and after the application of equalization tools—basic and reverse subsidies. The findings indicate that, despite some progress in reducing gaps in budgetary provision, the current financial equalization model falls short of achieving its intended goals. Specifically, even after income equalization, the disparity between the wealthiest and poorest communities remains excessively high (15–19 times) compared to the standards of developed countries (3–5 times). Furthermore, the impact of equalization policies varies significantly depending on the type of administrative-territorial unit: rural communities experience the greatest benefit, whereas urban areas feel minimal effects. The authors conclude that improving the effectiveness of financial equalization requires both broadening its base (by incorporating not only personal income tax but also all local budget revenues) and diversifying its tools (introducing targeted development transfers, special subsidies, and other mechanisms to support depressed areas). The study highlights the need for future research on the post-war state of local finances, strategies for reconstruction based on the financial sustainability of communities, and the adaptation of international experience in addressing the consequences of armed conflict and economic crises.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25958Ideological contradictions of the sustainable development concept: towards a new paradigm of sustainability in a rapidly changing world?2025-04-14T01:27:34+00:00Oleksiy Gibadullina.gibadullin@beer-co.com<p>The article focuses on the possibilities of creative adaptation of the fundamental principles of sustainability to the realities of the modern world by resolving the ideological contradictions of the concept of sustainable development. The purpose of the article is to scientifically substantiate the possibility of building a context-oriented model of sustainable development based on a flexible approach to management, which does not deny the fundamental principles of sustainability, but calls for their creative adaptation to the realities of the modern world. The author emphasizes that with the help of a flexible management model, a conceptual transformation of approaches to ensuring sustainability is possible, taking into account modern global challenges and the needs of national economies. The author argues that it is an adaptive approach to building management processes that will contribute to resolving the ideological contradictions of the concept of sustainable development and the formation of a context-oriented model of ensuring sustainability and harmonious growth in the future. The author notes that today the concept of sustainable development, which until recently was the mainstream and the basis for the formation of policies at the national and international levels, is experiencing a certain crisis of confidence and requires critical rethinking due to excessive abstraction, detachment from local realities and insufficient consideration of the specifics of different countries and regions. The article reveals the ideological contradictions of conceptual approaches to sustainable development as the basis of the internal imbalance of the system, the catalyst of intrasystem conflicts and the root cause of the modern worldview shift. Resolving ideological contradictions based on the modernization of approaches to building management processes allows us to offer a conceptual view of updating the concept of sustainable development in today’s conditions.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25960Integrated approaches and tools for ensuring the efficiency of multilevel governance in crisis conditions.2025-04-14T01:27:39+00:00Valentin Suvorovvip.suvorov@gmail.com<p>The article examines the theoretical foundations of integrated multilevel governance, in particular, the concept of results-based management (RBM) and its role in ensuring the effectiveness of multilevel governance in Ukraine is discussed. The formation of a new paradigm of multilevel governance based on the convergence of various management concepts of public administration in combination with integrated management approaches is substantiated. It is noted that a comprehensive integrated approach, on the one hand, involves preserving the basic democratic principles of multilevel governance, and on the other, is aimed at strategic orientation, results-based management, quality management, risk management and crisis response to create a comprehensive system of multilevel governance under conditions of uncertainty and hybrid threats. The integration of Results-Based Management (RBM) and Total Quality Management (TQM) approaches is proposed to increase the effectiveness of crisis management, combining a strategic focus on results with continuous improvement of the quality of processes. This will allow public organizations not only to effectively respond to crises, but also to prevent their occurrence through proactive management at different levels, focusing on the subnational level, which includes regional, local and subnational levels, to conduct continuous risk analysis and improve processes, which will help ensure the long-term sustainability of public organizations in conditions of uncertainty.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25961Eatures of the process of formation and management of the corporate image of an enterprise (organization) as a factor of its development in conditions of change2025-04-14T01:27:45+00:00Oleksandr Shtyrovbratislava@ukr.netAnna Sukhorukovaa.l.sukhorukova83@gmail.com<p>The article analyzes the features of the implementation of corporate image and its impact on the functioning of the enterprise. Creating an image covers all aspects of the organization’s work and requires proper management by all stakeholders. That is why organizations that understand the use and value of a quality corporate image consider it a matter of strategy, marketing and balance. It is the value that the organization gives it that determines the emphasis of management. It is noted that the authors understand corporate image as an important tool in the organization’s activities, because it forms an idea of it in the external environment, including customers, partners, employees and society as a whole.<br>In the context of the study, corporate image is proposed to be considered from four different approaches, namely "mirror", "current", and "multiple" image. Each of them reflects a certain interpretation of the corporate image, reputation or perception of the enterprise. They can be considered as an instant interpretation of the image of the enterprise at a particular moment by its various stakeholders.<br>It is noted that an important factor influencing the development of corporate image is corporate culture, because when considering the cultural aspects of corporate image, we note that all enterprises have a culture. Culture includes a set of common values, beliefs, attitudes, customs, norms, personalities and ethos that describe an enterprise or society. Culture can be considered as a unique way of conducting business by an enterprise. The analysis revealed a number of factors that directly or indirectly affect corporate image, in particular, group psychology at the enterprise, corporate boards, corporate leadership, corporate management skills, corporate self-awareness and national compliance, corporate strategic planning and goal setting, corporate motivation, corporate organizational climate, corporate advertising, etc.<br>It was concluded that corporate image is the perception that an interested party of the enterprise has of the enterprise itself.

Analysis of research on the innovative development of regions, the role of technological changes indicate that the structure of innovative development should take into account not only technological changes, but also systematically consider the relationships and interdependencies in all areas of socio-economic, monetary and financial, managerial, etc., "expanding the separate analysis of private problems into a holistic view of innovative development.<br>Otherwise, without taking into account the general patterns of development of changes in technologies, a gap appears between the macro, meso and micro levels of economic analysis, as demonstrated in the methodology for assessing GIC (at the macro level) or implementing strategic programs for innovative development (meso, micro levels). That is, only the impact of macroeconomic indicators of individual innovations or even the overall innovative activity of the economy (country, region, organization) is studied and analyzed, at the meso level changes in sectoral and inter-sectoral proportions, shares in GDP and other macroeconomic indicators are studied. Meanwhile, the relationship between the spread of innovations, the possibilities of innovative development and certain structural shifts has been practically not studied. Such a connection, dependence, at best, can be stated. To develop an effective mechanism for managing the innovative development of the country and its regions, it is important to understand, have a clear idea of such relationships, that is, how individual innovation processes are integrated into holistic development directions, the nature of structural shifts and explain the listed processes with the necessary completeness. Therefore, for the effective implementation of IRR programs, it is necessary to determine the main interrelated directions along which one should move and be able to assess the level of IRR, have tools for determining the innovativeness of the economy of regions and the country as a whole, and determining factors to achieve effective development, that is, to determine the innovation paradigm itself. Thus, at the heart of innovative development is a complex relationship and mutual influence of technological, scientific, managerial, economic capabilities and needs of society, the result of such a complex interaction must be studied. The persistence of the skew in the directions of development complicates the understanding of the mechanisms of competition and the selection of alternative programs, technologies, uneven economic growth, does not allow the effective development and formation of development programs without clarifying the causes of technological and structural shifts. The innovation paradigms on which current approaches are based are focused mainly on science, technology and economics and have limited responses to the process of global economic and institutional changes.<br>Developed economies have refined their core innovation paradigms, such as the role of organized innovation and strong national innovation systems in Finland and Sweden, but have not sufficiently considered the innovation management experience of developing countries such as China, India and the wider Asian region. On the other hand, the contribution of Asian civilizations, represented by China, India and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, to global development is gradually increasing.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25964European Experience of Public Administration.2025-04-14T01:27:57+00:00Volodymyr Yemelyanovsuharnikov.vova@gmail.comVolodymyr Sukharnikovsuharnikov.vova@gmail.com<p>The article proves that the European integration vector of development covers all spheres of Ukrainian society and is closely related to the reform processes implemented by the government. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of public administration in European countries to improve and increase the efficiency of the domestic public administration system. The article highlights the main directions of reforming public administration in the EU countries (digitalization, simplification of the distribution of responsibilities between levels of government, improvement of policy development and implementation, public employment, administrative simplification, improvement of the efficiency of the judicial system, modernization of public services). The main strategies and government programs for reforming the public administration of EU countries (Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Ireland, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal) are summarized. The key institutions in the field of public administration in the EU countries, which coordinate the processes of public administration reform in the EU countries, have been identified. The key principles of public administration in European countries (openness and transparency, active participation of citizens, accountability, effectiveness, coherence), the main financial and non-financial instruments of public administration regulation (Common Assessment Framework, Open Method of Coordination, Metcalf Coordination Scale, Twinning, Support for Improvement) are highlighted in Governance and Management). It is substantiated that the general tool for public administration implementation in the EU countries is the orientation of the activities of public administration bodies on the results and improvement of the quality of public services. It has been proven that the introduction of European experience of public administration into domestic practice will increase the level of trust in the sphere of public administration and form a sustainable, effective system of public administration.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25966Public administration mechanisms for combating raider attacks during Ukraine’s post-war recovery and reforms: integrating international experience into Ukrainian realities.2025-04-14T01:28:04+00:00Tetyana Kuzmenkosaenko2505@ukr.net<p>This article is devoted to the analysis of public administration mechanisms for combating raider attacks in the context of Ukraine’s post-war recovery and reform, with an emphasis on integrating international experience into Ukrainian realities. The central idea of the paper is to enhance the mechanisms of public management in counter-raider activities through the creative adaptation of foreign approaches to the unique specifics of Ukraine during its post-war transformations. The article examines the destructive impact of raider attacks on the economy, law and order, and the investment climate, which emerge against a backdrop of archaic mentalities and paternalistic stereotypes cultivated during years of statelessness and a totalitarian past. The author emphasizes that, despite numerous legislative innovations and the efforts of law enforcement agencies, the existing public administration system – characterized by excessive bureaucracy, ineffective law enforcement, and a corrupt judiciary – creates a “window of opportunity” for raiders. The methodological approach of the study is based on a critical review of scholarly literature, a comparative analysis of international practices, and a conceptual synthesis that identifies the key trends in countering raider attacks in the EU, USA, Australia, and Turkey. Central to the discussion is a creative synthesis of foreign approaches, tailored to account for the specific institutional, socio-economic, and cultural contexts of Ukraine. A comprehensive set of measures is proposed, including the creation of a specialized counter-raider authority, the strengthening of criminal and administrative liability, the development of digital infrastructure for protecting property rights, and the promotion of business integrity through the adoption of ethical codes and compliance mechanisms. The author underscores that the effectiveness of counter-raider policies depends on a transformation of societal values toward the principles of democracy, transparency, and government accountability. <br>The conceptual proposals aim to establish the conditions necessary for sustainable post-war recovery, an improved investment climate, and Ukraine’s integration into the European economic space. <br>In summary, a comprehensive approach – combining legislative modernization, the reform of public institutions, and the implementation of cutting-edge digital technologies – is essential for overcoming raider attacks and reinforcing Ukraine’s legal system.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25967Foreign experience in forming state policy in the social sphere. 2025-04-14T01:28:13+00:00Ievgen Tryshnovskyievgeniy.trysh@gmail.com<p>Foreign experience in the formation of state policy in the social sphere has been further developed, in which it was determined that: the sphere of social policy of the EU is constantly lagging behind the economic, financial, political and technological dimensions against the background of the new reality. This requires an optimal solution to the dilemma of the requirements of the economy and the expectations of society, and not one, but many and very different. The peculiarity of state policy in the social sphere of the USA, in contrast to other states, is determined in that it is based on the principles of individualism and freedom of choice (the state is not the only provider of social services, and citizens have the opportunity to choose between different providers, including private companies and non-profit organizations). The Chinese model of the social state differs from the European and American ones both in terms of implementation mechanisms and in terms of forms and levels of stakeholder participation. It is noted that these presented systems do not fully reflect the palette of principles, mechanisms and forms of stakeholder participation in the implementation of state policy in the social sphere. The fact that stakeholder participation involves a consultative approach is noteworthy. In addition, the models are not flexible in relation to the requests of the recipients. In the new reality, all models of the welfare state require new flexible approaches to management, especially to the requests of stakeholders.<br>In the EU, there are several levels of stakeholder participation in the implementation of public policy in the social sphere: Consultation: at this level, stakeholders can express their opinions and suggestions on draft laws and regulations, but the final decision is made by the government. Dialogue: at this level, stakeholders can engage in dialogue with the government and other interested parties to discuss specific issues and find compromise solutions. Partnership: at this level, the government and stakeholders work together to achieve common goals. Stakeholders can participate in the development and implementation of programs and projects. Shared management: at this level, the government and stakeholders work together on equal terms to make decisions and manage social programs and projects. Each level of participation has its advantages and limitations, and the choice of a specific level depends on the specific situation and the goals to be achieved.<br>The project approach is widely used in the EU to implement state policy in the social sphere. It allows for a more effective and targeted achievement of the set goals and objectives, and also provides a more transparent and open decision-making process. Within the framework of the project approach, specific projects are created, financed from the EU budget or other sources, and implemented with the participation of various stakeholders. Projects can be aimed at solving specific problems in the social sphere, such as poverty, unemployment, social and economic exclusion, as well as the development of social infrastructure and services. The American Social Security Model (ASM). The American Social Security Model (ASM) is assessed by specialists and experts as successful. The ASM, which, unlike the ESM, is built on the “residual principle” of providing social guarantees in the liberal economy and politics of the USA and is incompatible with the level of social guarantees in Europe. As in any other country, US public policy in the social sphere is aimed at ensuring the well-being of citizens and improving their quality of life. One of the main areas is health care, which in the USA is provided through the health insurance system. In recent years, steps have been taken to expand access to medical services and reduce the cost of treatment.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25968Key aspects of the international experience for tetiary age individuals public services.2025-04-14T01:28:19+00:00Yevhen Shcherbakshcherbakeugene@gmail.comVeronika Kovalchukcovveron@ukr.net<p>The article analyzes the systemic principles and international experience of involving digital tools in order to provide public services to citizens of the third age, considers the features and unique characteristics inherent in the relevant age group in the context of the degree of use of digital systems and tools to meet personal needs in digital services, determines the prospects for further expanding the boundaries of the use of digital products by citizens of the third age, the role and place of such digital systems in ensuring high-quality two-way communication between the state and citizens of the relevant age group, outlines ways to involve artificial intelligence and further modernization of digital systems in order to increase trust in them on the part of citizens of the third age, proposes a system of solutions for improving and adapting existing processes in the context of building a digital state and digitalization of all spheres of public life in Ukraine, and also considers project situations for implementing new digital solutions in the system of providing public services to citizens of the third age in accordance with the psychological characteristics of such citizens and in accordance with the national policy on increasing the efficiency of the state and developing additional opportunities for in-depth cooperation between the state and citizens of the third age group. civil society.

It analyzes global drug policy practices, emphasizing the need for Ukraine to adapt modern approaches, particularly the decriminalization of drug use and reduced penalties for consumers, as practiced in the European Union and other countries. The study highlights the necessity of refining Ukraine’s drug policy mechanisms for EU integration, including adopting the proposed Drug Policy Strategy by 2030, incorporating best international practices, strengthening human rights, and protecting vulnerable groups.<br>It has been identified that an important area for improving the mechanisms of state drug policy implementation in Ukraine includes preventive measures, addiction treatment, the development of rehabilitation programs, and the need for their enhancement. A critical aspect is defining the role of social services and non-governmental organizations in supporting individuals with addiction, along with designing effective youth education and prevention programs to promote healthy lifestyles as key strategies against drug abuse. Successful policy implementation requires a comprehensive intersectoral approach and collaboration among government bodies, NGOs, and international partners.<br>It has been established that promoting a healthy lifestyle policy reduces non-communicable diseases, particularly through the prevention of psychoactive substance (PAS) use, which is essential for preserving public health. International experience demonstrates that preventive measures, such as school, workplace, and community programs, are effective in combating drug addiction. Ukraine should integrate international practices into its policies, focusing on healthy lifestyles and harm reduction measures for drugs, while adapting them to national conditions.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25970Digital transformation of public administration in the direction of servicization2025-04-14T01:28:35+00:00Anatoly Rachynskyianatolii.rachynskyi@knu.uaOleksandr Tytarenkooleksandr_tytarenko@knu.ua<p>This article investigates the procedural specifics of the digital transformation of public administration towards servicization. Based on the analysis of theoretical approaches to defining the features of digital transformation in public administration, it is demonstrated that digitalization contributes to the improvement of the service activities of public authorities. It is determined that the digital transformation of public administration in the direction of servicization is a multifaceted process that involves not only technological innovations but also significant changes in the political, economic, social, organizational, and legal aspects of citizens’ interactions with entities within the public administration system. It is summarized that servicization is a contemporary trend in the functioning of the public administration system aimed at the formation and implementation of service policies as a priority area of modern activity in the political and socio-economic sphere. This represents a set of targeted measures by the state, public authorities, and other entities engaged in service activities aimed at providing citizens with high-quality public services. It is proven that a service-oriented state is the conceptual core of the digital transformation of public administration, ensuring the delivery of high-quality accessible services to citizens through digital channels and tools. It is emphasized that the goal of a service-oriented state should be to create the most comfortable conditions for citizens to exercise their rights and freedoms by reducing administrative barriers and bureaucratic challenges. It is argued that digital technologies and digital tools will enhance the integration of entities within the public administration system into the digital environment and facilitate their adaptation to the demands of the digital age. This process is not only a technological modernization of the public administration system but also a socio-economic phenomenon that necessitates the transformation of the activities of public authorities, the improvement of the legislative framework, and the formation of social relations based on servicization. It is noted that successful realization of this transformation requires overcoming various challenges (including addressing the armed aggression of the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory), which necessitates a comprehensive approach and broad cooperation among public authorities, civil society, and business.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25971Influence of spiritual principles of human coexistence on gender distribution of time in public administration.2025-04-14T01:28:41+00:00Svitlana Bilosorochkasoro4ka@i.ua<p>The article explores ways to achieve an optimal and fair gender distribution of time in Ukraine’s public administration through the lens of spiritual principles of human coexistence: balance and fairness, responsibility, causality, interaction, and unity. The article provides an overview of these principles and highlights the most influential research on the subject. It examines the impact of technological changes on the organization of time, noting that despite the advancement of digital technologies, changes in gender roles occur slowly. The article proposes an analysis of the causal relationships in gender time distribution and the importance of implementing the spiritual principles of balance, fairness, responsibility, interaction, and unity to achieve sustainable societal development. It emphasizes that the use of these principles in public administration contributes to gender equality, harmony between professional and personal life, and social justice.<br>The article also focuses on vertical and horizontal relationships in public administration, exploring how to achieve gender equality through the adjustment of workloads, the introduction of flexible working conditions, equal access to career opportunities, and the establishment of clear gender-sensitive standards. The application of the principles of balance, fairness, responsibility, causality, interaction, and unity not only enhances the efficiency of management processes but also fosters sustainable societal development. The article further highlights the importance of considering personal-level interactions and the use of digital technologies to reduce gender bias in the allocation of working time. Ultimately, ensuring an equal gender distribution of time in public administration depends on the conscious efforts of both individuals and organizations at the institutional level, creating a harmonious and productive environment for all participants in administrative interactions.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25972Civic education of public servants in Ukraine in the context of global challenges and opportunities.2025-04-14T01:28:45+00:00Kostyantyn Kozlovkostyk_1975@ukr.net<p>The article explores the civic education of public servants in Ukraine as a tool for strengthening democratic governance in the face of global challenges, such as war, disinformation, and European integration, as well as opportunities, such as digitalization and international cooperation. The relevance of the topic is driven by the need to foster active citizenship, social cohesion, and improve the efficiency of public administration in the period of transformation of Ukrainian society. The author analyzes the role of civic education in the development of political culture, legal awareness and ethical standards of employees, emphasizing its importance for countering authoritarian tendencies and ensuring stability.<br>The study is based on a systematic approach and methods of literature analysis, comparative analysis with the experience of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, as well as a case study method for assessing practices in Ukraine. It is shown that civic education is fragmented due to a lack of consistency and state support, although it contributes to the adaptation of employees to crisis conditions. A comparison with international models emphasizes the potential of integrating digital technologies and practical competencies, such as media literacy, to improve training. Particular attention is paid to three learning paths: “about”, ‘for’, and ‘through’ democracy and human rights, which form a comprehensive competence of civil servants.<br>The conclusions point to the need for adaptive programs and enhanced coordination to realize the potential of civic education. Recommendations include the use of international experience and digital platforms. Prospects for further research include empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of programs and analysis of their impact on transparency of governance.

The development of national health care systems is identified, which is determined by the criterion of strengthening the state’s social security indicators, the effectiveness of its participation in the processes of expanding social guarantees to the population. The expediency of introducing an integrated indicator of determining the institutional capacity of the state to improve the quality of life of the population is substantiated, in accordance with which a modernization and reform toolkit for the transformation of the public administration system in the field of health care is proposed, by bringing it into maximum compliance with the expectations and demands of the population in the form of building an integrated system public management in the field of health care, as a condition for guaranteeing the effectiveness of institutional changes in the field of health care and restraining the negative dynamics associated with the decline in the quality of medical care and the quality of life of the population in general.<br>Public administration in the field of health care has been identified as a structural condition for ensuring the social security of the state in the postmodern period in the form of providing institutional guarantees for the realization of the rights of citizens to receive quality medical care, improving the quality of life of the population, improving the demographic situation, employment and social security, the effectiveness of overcoming relevant social anomalies characteristic of the development of the welfare state as an indicator of the state’s ability to respond appropriately to ensuring the anthropocentric value of its public policy; it was established that the strategic priority for national systems of public administration in the field of health care in the postmodern period is the introduction of complex systems of strategic planning in the field of social security of the population, aimed at ensuring high indicators of the quality of life of the population by organizing the interaction of institutions of the state, society and business, forming of the latest network determination between them regarding the coordination of efforts in the context of ensuring the effectiveness of the quality of life of the population</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25975Ensuring the creation of a barrier-free space in Ukraine2025-04-14T01:28:55+00:00Oleksandr Babichsaha_alesandr@ukr.net<p>The article reveals the meaning of the concept of "barrier-free space" on the basis of the logical correlation of individual concepts, since today there is no scientifically accepted or approved definition of this concept by the normative acts of Ukraine. It is appropriate to consider that a barrier-free space is an unobstructed living environment where equal opportunities, people’s rights, their equal access to resources and guarantees of assistance are ensured.<br>The article proves that a significant part of the terms that precede the disclosure of the meaning of the concept of "barrier-free space" are those that require first of all categorical and sometimes conceptual clarification. It is argued that inclusion, as the closest concept to the creation of a barrier-free space, should be understood as a process of ensuring an increase in the degree of participation of all citizens in society. At the same time, inclusiveness must be categorically considered as a characteristic of something: environment, phenomenon, policy, in which the needs of different people are taken into account. These concepts are not identical.<br>The article defines that barriers, as obstacles on the way to full participation in society, can be divided according to the sign of the creation of such obstacles, namely, into individual, infrastructural, institutional barriers and barriers of tolerance. Overcoming barriers ensures accessibility, which is categorically the result of the process, namely the process of ensuring equal access to all groups of the population to various types of facilities and services, etc. At the same time, barrier-freeness should be considered a concept aimed at creating conditions in which all people, regardless of their characteristics, have equal access to various aspects of public life. It is on the basis of this interpretation of barrier-freeness that other non-coordinated definitions, which contain normative legal acts and various kinds of publications, also come into line.<br>The article concludes that the creation of a barrier-free space is a process of ensuring the protection and realization of the rights of all citizens in various spheres of public life, and the list of these spheres cannot be exhaustive, as can the actions of all participants in the process. Creating a barrier-free space involves ensuring equal access of people with different abilities to all spheres of public life, which is one of the tasks of government bodies and institutions of civil society.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25976Inclusive state policy regarding the "inclusion" of various social groups in public life. 2025-04-14T01:28:58+00:00Lesya Bondarenkolesya.kulahina@gmail.com<p>The main principle of the state’s inclusive policy is to create opportunities for equal access to social processes for all groups of people who have historically been excluded from public life. The state’s inclusive policy should be aimed at all members of society, providing everyone with equal rights and opportunities to fulfill their potential and improve their lives. <br>The creation of social services and tools for people with disabilities in Ukraine is a relevant way to “include” different social groups in public life.

Постановка проблеми зумовлена необхідністю переосмислення культурної політики в контексті делегування повноважень об’єднаним територіальним громадам, що відкриває можливості для локального розвитку, але водночас створює виклики для збереження єдиного культурного простору перед зовнішніми загрозами. Гібридна агресія, яка охоплює фізичне знищення спадщини та інформаційну війну, загострює потребу в ефективних механізмах координації та захисту національної ідентичності.<br>Продемонстровано, що децентралізація культури недостатньо висвітлена у науковій літературі порівняно з адміністративними чи економічними аспектами реформи, а взаємозв’язок із гібридними загрозами потребує глибшого осмислення. Мета статті полягає у визначенні шляхів забезпечення балансу між локальним культурним розвитком і національною безпекою в умовах війни. <br>Дослідження розкриває потенціал децентралізації для активізації культурних ініціатив на місцевому рівні, однак підкреслює проблеми недостатнього фінансування, слабкої координації та нерівномірності розвитку між регіонами. Гібридні загрози ускладнюють ці процеси, посилюючи ризик фрагментації культурного простору. Запропоновано заходи для вдосконалення політики, зокрема створення координаційних механізмів, розробку програм протидії гібридним впливам і посилення ресурсної підтримки громад. Наголошено, що децентралізація культури може бути ефективною за умови інтеграції локальних і національних пріоритетів, а перспективи подальших досліджень пов’язані з аналізом ролі цифрових технологій, повоєнного відновлення та інформаційно-культурних ініціатив у зміцненні стійкості громад перед гібридними загрозами.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25978Digitalization of civil society: prospects and challenges for the regions of Ukraine.2025-04-14T01:29:09+00:00Anastasia Zhornytskadvk1vip@gmail.com<p>The article examines the prospects and challenges of digitalizing civil society in Ukraine, with a particular focus on the regional level. It identifies key aspects of implementing digital technologies in civic activities and analyzes their impact on interactions between government authorities, civil organizations, and citizens. Emphasis is placed on regional disparities in access to digital infrastructure and resources, which significantly affect the pace and quality of digital transformations. The analysis highlights the importance of addressing these challenges to ensure equitable and inclusive digital development across the country.<br>International experience from Estonia, Latvia, Sweden, and Denmark is studied to provide valuable insights into effective e-governance practices. Examples include Estonia’s comprehensive e-governance system, Latvia’s initiatives to bridge the digital divide, and the use of open data platforms in Sweden and Denmark to enhance transparency and citizen engagement. These examples demonstrate the potential of digital technologies to strengthen civil society and foster democratic participation.<br>The article also explores practical measures such as the development of digital infrastructure, targeted educational programs to enhance digital literacy, and the implementation of user-friendly online platforms to encourage citizen involvement in decision-making processes. Recommendations are provided for overcoming regional digital disparities, promoting technological accessibility, and creating a cohesive strategy for digital transformation. <br>The findings conclude that integrating successful international practices, combined with tailored solutions that consider Ukraine’s unique regional characteristics, can significantly contribute to the effective digital transformation of civil society. By addressing the challenges of the digital divide, enhancing the capacity for civic engagement, and fostering collaboration between stakeholders, Ukraine can create a robust and inclusive framework for the sustainable development of its civil society in the digital era.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25980The impact of communication in public administration on internal displacement processes: challenges and prospects2025-04-14T01:29:16+00:00Vadim Zahnoikovzahnoiko@gmail.com<p>The article examines the role of communications in public administration during crisis events. The author analyses modern research that reflects recent changes in the public’s perception of the main channels of communication with public authorities and obtaining operational information. It is determined that informing the public, along with explaining the actions taken, and promoting and strengthening institutional actions, and facilitating the discussion of ideas are the main tasks of communications in public administration. The types of digital communications that are currently widely used by public authorities are highlighted. Attention is focused on examples of effective use of digital communication channels by representatives of the international humanitarian community, including the use of social media. It is found that the effectiveness of communication interaction with internally displaced persons depends on the development of information strategies that meet the specifics of each phase of the crisis situation, as well as on ensuring the integrity and accuracy of information. It is noted that an appropriate communication process in the public administration system is a key to maintaining an adequate level of public awareness in a crisis. It is emphasized that effective crisis communications allow the authorities to respond promptly to challenges, familiarize the population with important information and receive feedback from the public. The author analyses the experience of other countries of using the social media. Initiatives to improve communication interaction between public authorities, humanitarian organisations and internally displaced persons in the context of long-term systemic crises are presented.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25981Implementation of innovative projects for digital development of the healthcare system in the context of European integration2025-04-14T01:29:27+00:00Serhiy Zamchiyszamchiy@gmail.com<p>The article examines the principles of implementing innovative development projects and digitalization of the healthcare system in Ukraine in the context of European integration, analyzes regulatory and legal support, and justifies the use of methodological approaches and tools for implementing innovative projects for the digital development of the healthcare system, as well as outlines areas for their improvement in the medium term in the context of European integration.<br>It is substantiated that the implementation of innovative projects for the digital development of the healthcare system in Ukraine significantly enhances progress in this area on the path to its systemic modernization and requires a comprehensive approach that concerns the formation of an appropriate digital ecosystem, taking into account increased funding and improvement of the resource, technological and regulatory framework, including paying special attention to improving the qualifications of personnel and further continuous development of medical workers.<br>It has been proven that the prospects of e-health in Ukraine are associated with increasing the efficiency of the functioning of the healthcare system, taking into account the best international and European practices of implementing innovative social investment projects, ensuring transparency and zero tolerance for corruption, which will allow the subjects of the relevant system to quickly and timely collect the most reliable medical information, and avoid additional resource costs.</p>2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 State Formationhttps://periodicals.karazin.ua/db/article/view/25982Current state of interaction between authorities and the public and integration of internally displaced persons (using the example of the Transcarpathian region).2025-04-14T01:29:32+00:00Tetyana Machabelitetianamachabeli@gmail.com<p>У сучасних умовах державні органи часто не здатні самостійно забезпечити ефективне управління кризами.
