Abstract

The monograph is dedicated to the pressing issues and prospects of Ukraine's recovery after the armed conflict. The study focuses on public administration reforms aimed at strengthening the country's potential during the war and in the reconstruction phase, as well as the role of these reforms in the process of European integration. The authors examine a wide range of topics, from the organizational and legal mechanisms for engaging citizens in local governance to strategies for managing public finances in wartime. Attention is given to decentralization, sustainable regional development, crisis management in the field of water use, and the restoration of key economic sectors. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of women's social entrepreneurship and its impact on social processes in conflict and post-conflict situations, as well as a comparative study of migration policies in Ukraine and EU member states. This monograph represents a contribution from scholars and experts, offering a critical perspective and comprehensive approaches to addressing public administration and economic development challenges in the post-war recovery period of Ukraine. It aims to serve as a guide for policymakers, researchers, and all those involved in the process of recovery and sustainable development of the country, providing a solid foundation for long-term changes. The monograph is designed for scientists, graduate and undergraduate students who are researching these above-mentioned problems in the Public Administration scientific sphere.
