Abstract

"The purpose of the research is to form the peculiarities of public management and public administration in territorial communities in the conditions of war, as well as to outline the role of the latter in the postwar development of Ukraine. The work used such methods of scientific knowledge as the method of synthesis, the method of analysis, the system-structural method, and the formal-logical method. The authors considered the peculiarities of the functioning of local self-government bodies as representatives of the territorial community in the conditions of martial law, their interaction with military administrations. The work describes the transformation of the powers of executive bodies of village, settlement and city councils after February 24, 2022. The publication pays special attention to the role and importance of territorial communities in the post-war development of Ukraine. For the first time, the authors proposed two criteria for dividing the powers of representative bodies of territorial communities during the period of martial law. The approaches proposed by the authors regarding the interaction of the executive bodies of village, settlement and city councils and city state administrations both at this stage of the implementation of state policy under martial law and in the future are important for the recovery of Ukraine in the postwar period, which indicates the practical value of the work."
