ASPECTS OF PUBLIC CRISIS MANAGEMENT: BEST PRACTICES AND POSSIBLE IMPLEMENTATION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

At the article, the experience of public crisis management in the post-war period in Japan and Germany was considered. Among the main features of crisis measures, the following were highlighted: demonopolization of the economy, support for the development of small and medium businesses, tax reform, accelerated industrialization of technologically backward regions of the country, government protectionism of local production, and prevention of foreign and domestic competition. At the article the special attention was paid to the crisis measures used by the governments of some countries in the management of certain depressed areas (Germany, Great Britain, Italy, USA). It was revealed that the key is to stimulate production, business and increase employment in the regions. However, some countries are taking comprehensive measures to improve all regions simultaneously, while others are paying more attention to economically backward regions in order to provide them with the opportunity to take an active part in the socio-economic development of the country. Separately, public crisis management decisions taken by a number of governments in order to minimize the negative consequences of the global financial crisis of 2008 were analyzed. All activities can be combined into several main blocks, namely the creation of an additional system of social protection for employees, the expansion of opportunities for employment growth, the development and implementation of retraining and advanced training programs for employees. Keywords: public crisis management, best practices, implementation, support, government, economic development.
