Strategies of financial interactions and innovations during economic transformations: from post-war reconstruction to European integration

Introduction. In the context of economic globalization and continuous changes in the global economic order, understanding the mechanisms of financial interaction and effective implementation of innovations becomes critical for ensuring sustainable development of countries and enterprises. It is particularly important during periods of post-war reconstruction and integration processes, when economies require rapid adaptation to new conditions, recovery, and further development. The purpose of the paper is to identify and evaluate the effectiveness of various financial and innovative strategies aimed at supporting economic development and adaptation to new conditions. Results. The study revealed key strategies, including international borrowing, financial system reform, incentives for the private sector, development of infrastructure for innovation, cooperation among different sectors of the economy, and activation of international integration. These strategies are crucial for navigating through periods of economic transformation and leverage opportunities for sustainable growth and innovation. The successful implementation of financial interaction and innovation strategies will not only contribute to economic recovery and development in the context of post-war reconstruction and European integration but will also ensure long-term competitiveness and economic security of countries in a complex and rapidly changing world. Conclusion. Financial interaction and innovation strategies play a pivotal role in ensuring sustainable development and adaptation to global economic conditions. They require states and enterprises to demonstrate flexibility and an innovative approach. The findings emphasize the importance of an integrated strategy that incorporates international experiences, financial and regulatory reform, and strong public-private partnerships to foster innovation and economic resilience in the face of globalization and technological change.

Study of digital twins as the driving force of digital transformation and achieving the goals of sustainable development

The object of research is the use of Digital Twin (DT) technology in the manufacturing sector and its impact on sustainability. The scientific problem addressed is the identification and quantification of the potential advantages and challenges associated with the adoption of DTs at operational, tactical, and strategic levels, particularly in the context of sustainable development. The paper investigates how DTs can redefine the measurement of sustainable development and diversify implementation within manufacturing infrastructure. The study concludes that DTs are a sophisticated technology that enables manufacturers to create precise virtual replicas of physical products or processes. This helps in optimizing resource utilization, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing waste, thereby promoting sustainability. Main DT clusters and common uses highlighted by the authors demonstrate huge impact on energy efficiency, waste management, sustainable design, logistics emissions reduction, water conservation, and stakeholder engagement. It is proved that DTs simulate and analyze complex systems, enabling the evaluation and improvement of sustainability levels. The paper presents promising practical examples of DT’s use, such as optimizing warehouse management in Ukraine, automating robots for increased efficiency, and aiding in the post-war reconstruction of cities with a focus on environmental friendliness and accessible infrastructure. The research specifically focuses on the top five tech giants and their use of DTs to drive sustainability. Additionally, the findings project substantial market growth potential for DTs in multiple sectors, emphasizing the urgent need for industries to integrate DTs into their sustainability strategies.

The Kyiv Bandurist Chapel’s concert activity during the Second World War

Statement of the problem. Recent research and publications. The article is dedicated to the creative activity of the Kyiv Bandurist Chapel, its origins, and stages of formation. It characterizes the peculiarities of the Chapel’s concert and touring activities and states the role played by the bandurist choir in the social and political life of Ukraine. The creativity of the Kyiv Bandurist Chapel (and later – the Taras Shevchenko Bandurist Chapel) as a spiritual phenomenon of Ukrainian musical culture has been increasingly studied over the last two decades. Published works highlight various aspects of its activity, however, there remain questions that require deeper analysis and a new approach, particularly, the concert and touring activities of the Chapel in 1939–1944. Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. The purpose of the article is to analyze the Kyiv Bandurist Chapel’s concert activity in the context of the social and historical events during 1939–1944 and its impact on various aspects of cultural, musical, and social life in Western Ukrainian territories. The article uses general scientific methods: source study, descriptive and analytical. The concert and performance repertoire of the Chapel has been analyzed in terms of its content and dynamics. The article mentions joint projects of the Chapel with Ukrainian musical institutions and public organizations. New data about the numerical composition of the first Kyiv Bandurist Chapel, the peculiarities of its concert and touring activities, and some episodes from the lives of individual bandurists have been introduced into the scientific discourse. Research results and conclusion. The Kyiv Bandurist Chapel takes its origins from the period when the national liberation struggles began in 1918–1922. During its existence, the Chapel has been known under various names: “Kobzar Choir” or “First Chapel of Kobzars” (according to V. Yemets), “First Ukrainian Art Chapel” (1925), “United State Exemplary Chapel of Bandurists of the Ukrainian SSR” (1935–1941), “Taras Shevchenko Bandurist Chapel” (from 1941). The foundation of the Kyiv Bandurist Chapel’s repertoire in different historical times constituted Ukrainian dumas, historical, Sich Riflemen’s and insurgent songs, national-patriotic authors’ works, and song and dance melodies. During the period under study, the Kyiv Bandurist Chapel actively performed concert tours in such regions, including Kyiv region, Volyn, and Galychyna. Throughout 1942–1944, it performed in Germany for Ukrainians who were forcibly deported by the Nazis from Ukraine and placed in Ostarbeiter camps. The Kyiv Bandurist Chapel, being in the whirlwind of historical events, proved that the Ukrainian people’s will and independence were always the priority in their creative activities. Further study of the Kyiv Bandurist Chapel’s history is pertinent to several key historical periods: the post-war reconstruction of Soviet Ukraine, the nation’s journey to independence, and the Russian-Ukrainian war. These topics are awaiting unbiased examination and scientific synthesis.

STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF PLASMA-ELECTROLYTICE OXIDATION PARAMETERS ON THE FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF HETEROXIDE COATINGS

The results of a study of the influence of the parameters of plasma-electrolytic oxidation in diphosphate electrolyte solutions of metal platforms made of titanium alloys, as the basis for the formation of heterooxide coatings with photocatalytic activity, on the level of their functional properties are presented. It has been established that heterooxide coatings obtained in PEO modes on titanium alloy platforms, in which zinc and tungsten compounds were incorporated as dopants, demonstrate photocatalytic activity in the processes of azo dye degradation under UV irradiation. An increase in the concentration of oxygen-containing compounds of dopants in electrolyte solutions has a positive effect on their incorporation into the composition of the monoxide matrix of the composite, morphology and catalytic properties of the obtained coatings. Based on the results of determining the morphological features of the structure of the coatings, it was proved that, compared with titanium monoxide, as a material for a photocatalytic platform, heterooxide coatings have a more developed globular surface microstructure, which positively affects the level of their functional performance. A symbatic dependence between the content of incorporated dopants and the specific surface area of coatings, as well as their photocatalytic activity, has been proven. It is noted that the change in the phase structure of the surface layers in the process of plasma-electrolytic formation of the TiO/ZnO-WO3 coating on the surface of the carrier metal causes an increase in the mechanical characteristics of the resulting coatings, in particular, the microhardness almost doubles. The obtained results can become the basis for the creation of functional materials for the catalytic neutralization of natural, synthetic and man-made toxicants, which will lead to the solution of a number of environmental problems both during the war crisis and during the post-war reconstruction of the country.

Exporting Electrodes to Australia in the 1930s:

Using the internal records of trading companies operating in Australia that were seized by the Australian government after the Japanese attack on Pearl in December 1941, the present study examines the role played by Okura & Company and its Managing Director in Sydney, Sawada Shigeo, as intermediaries in the development of a potential Australian market for Japanese electrodes in the interwar period. International trade in foreign markets required Japanese manufacturers to respond “flexibly” to the terms, conditions, and practices of the new markets into which they were exporting, especially in relation to any technological difficulties (real or perceived) with their products. General trading companies (like our example, Okura & Company) were employed to provide essential market information and to bridge any “gaps of recognition” between Japanese manufacturers (like our example, Tokai Electrode Manufacturing Company) and their new, non-Japanese clients. The interwar experience of “market development” in Australia was integral to the remarkable success of Japan’s export-oriented industries during the postwar reconstruction period, when electrode manufacturing quickly became an important export industry for Japan.

It's not about the money: New evidence on U.S. reconstruction aid in Italy, 1947–68

AbstractThis paper studies the economic impact of foreign aid on Italian firms. In particular, I study the different effects of three main forms of aid: Export–Import Bank loans, Marshall Plan European Recovery Program (ERP) ‘dollars’ loans and the Marshall Plan ERP ‘lire’ loans. In all programmes, the United States sent technologically advanced machinery to allow for a modernization of the technology of Italian firms, but the conditions of such loans differed. This paper tests how crucial such different features have been for the effectiveness of firm reconstruction aid. By creating a new dataset on recipient firms and linking it to a large comprehensive firm‐level dataset (Imita.db), I compare the effects on the performance of firms. I find that the Export–Import Bank loan raised the long‐run profitability of firms, but that firms which received more flexible forms of Marshall Plan aid (‘ERP‐lire’) raised their performance much more than Export–Import Bank recipients. Recipients who only received funds provided with long delays (‘ERP‐dollars’) did not benefit from them. This evidence suggests that rather than receiving foreign aid per se, the most crucial features of reconstruction aid in Italy have been obtaining the requested goods on time and adjusting requests to receive the most needed productive goods.

Ensuring the spatial integration of Ukraine based on updated instruments of cooperation of regions and communities

The article aims to delve into the potential of Ukraine's spatial integration, focusing on activating regional and community cooperation tools. the study employed a robust set of scientific methods, including induction and deduction, comparison, systematization and generalization, and the graphic method, underscoring the thoroughness and reliability of the research. The article critically examines the current state and pressing issues surrounding enhancing public-private partnerships and inter-municipal cooperation. This analysis is particularly relevant in the context of Ukraine's need to form an integrated economic space amidst the challenges of war and post-war recovery, highlighting the urgency and importance of the topic. It was established that the main problems that inhibit the development of public-private partnerships in Ukraine are the considerable duration of the procedure for preparing PPP projects, instability of the state's tax and investment policy, limited financial resources of stakeholders, lack of specialists for the development of public-private partnership projects, its full-fledged technical and economic justification, preparation of tender documentation, etc. Considering the above, ways of increasing the effectiveness of public-private partnerships as a tool for forming an integrated and competitive economic space of Ukraine in the conditions of post-war reconstruction are proposed. The main problems that slow down the development of inter-municipal cooperation as a tool for the formation of an integrated economic space are named (lack of a consistent and clear regional policy of stimulating the development of inter-municipal cooperation of territorial communities; low effectiveness of the implementation of existing agreements on inter-municipal cooperation due to a lack of financial resources, the transfer of forces and funds to the wartime economy; limited possibilities of attracting credit instruments by MMC participants; lack of statistical information on the effectiveness and efficiency of the implementation of existing agreements on inter-municipal cooperation). Considering the above, directions for increasing the effectiveness of inter-municipal cooperation as a tool for forming an integrated economic space of Ukraine in the conditions of post-war reconstruction are named. The importance and necessity of simplifying the procedure of inter-municipal cooperation, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and removing legal barriers to inter-municipal cooperation were emphasized. Keywords: spatial integration, community cooperation, public-private partnership, inter-municipal cooperation, post-war reconstruction, regional economy.

Development of agricultural competences as a priority factor of the sustainable development of Ukraine’s economy

Statement of the problem and its relevance. The intensification of crisis phenomena in the modern labor market in Ukraine is characterized by the insufficient level and number of specialists in the agricultural sector trained by the higher education system, the strengthening of the imbalance between the demand and supply of labor in Ukraine and abroad, large-scale destruction and risks, low labor efficiency and an insufficient and unstable level its payments in the agricultural sector. The current state, problems, and prospects of strengthening agro-economic competencies are studied. The purpose of providing modern educational services is to train future personnel capable of managing a modern enterprise based on environmental friendliness and circularity, to carry out the production and sale of environmentally safe food products that meet the needs of consumers, considering force majeure circumstances, changes in the culture of consumption and projected needs for strengthening the sustainability of business processes for future generations. Education for sustainable development requires the immediate development and implementation of a comprehensive program of continuous training and education of students in ecology, environmental protection, and rational nature management. Recently, as a result of the war, Ukraine has suffered significant losses of economic, ecological, social, and educational potential. This hurt the socio-economic indicators of the country's development, living standards, and population size. Changes to the legislation on several educational measures for adapting young people to new conditions and post-war reconstruction are proposed, and the main elements and competencies adapted to the modern risk conditions of economic development in the agrarian sphere are substantiated. Ukrainian agriculture can realize significant potential only by training young people with a high moral and ethical level who share the world values of sustainable development and care for the environment, an environment important for full entry into the global food market. Knowledge is of excellent importance for recovery and further sustainable socio-economic development in the information society's formation conditions. Their formation takes place as a result of the educational sector fulfilling its mission of socio-economic upliftment. Keywords: sustainable development, agrarian education, competitiveness, sustainable development strategies, post-war competences of the growth of the agro-industrial sector, efficiency of agricultural enterprises, modernization of institutions of higher agrarian education, agrarian economy.

STUDY OF THE ROLE OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS IN THE ENERGY BALANCE OF UKRAINE AND THE COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION DURING ARMED AGGRESSION AND IN THE POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION OF THE COUNTRY'S ECONOMY AND INFRASTRUCTURE

In the article, which shows the results of the authors' own research, the purpose of which was to identify the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the role of alternative fuels in the energy balance of Ukraine and the countries of the European Union during the times of armed aggression and in the post-war reconstruction of the country's economy and infrastructure, the following tasks were consistently solved: analysis of the consumption of energy resources in the world and in Ukraine and the use of alternative types of fuel in transport; analysis of the nomenclature and properties of fuels of non-petroleum origin. The object of the study is the role of alternative fuels in the energy balance of Ukraine and the countries of the European Union. The subject of the study is quantitative and qualitative aspects of the object of the study at the time of armed aggression and in the post-war reconstruction of the country's economy and infrastructure. The scientific novelty of the research results is that the notion of the applicability of various types of alternative motor fuels for powering the power plants with reciprocating internal combustion engines, in particular the FERV units of the units of the SES of Ukraine, has gained further development, in terms of their solving problems both during the times of armed aggression and during the period of post-war reconstruction of the country's economy and infrastructure. The practical significance of the research results is that the results of a comparative analysis of the nomenclature, properties and prospects for the use of various types of alternative motor fuels for powering power plants with reciprocating internal combustion engines are suitable for use in the developing of strategic foundations for the functioning of the fire and emergency-rescue vehicles units of departments of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine during armed aggression and during the period of post-war reconstruction of the country's economy and infrastructure.

Creating favorable conditions for attracting private capital in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine

Creating favorable conditions for attracting private capital in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine

The impact of changes in the demographic structure of the national labour market on macroeconomic indicators of Ukraine

The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops on 24 February 2022 led to significant changes in the Ukrainian labour market, which require a detailed analysis and understanding of their further dynamics. The purpose of this paper is to find out how the changes in the demographic structure of the national labour market have affected Ukraine’s macroeconomic indicators. Using such methods as statistical analysis, comparison, synthesis and forecasting, the study of current demographic and economic indicators was conducted. The study obtained and analysed statistics on the forced displacement of refugees both within Ukraine and abroad, taking into account age, gender, education and other demographic indicators – at least 12 million Ukrainian citizens were relocated, 75% of whom are able-bodied and more than half of whom have high professional qualifications. Separately, information on young people and students who continue or start studying abroad was studied and conclusions were drawn on their assimilation in the new society and the likelihood of their return to Ukraine. In the process of analysing the conditions for the growth of unemployment, the number of enterprises that ceased operations due to hostilities or temporary occupation was calculated – both geographically, by region, and by type of ownership. It turned out that in eastern Ukraine, the number of closed business entities reaches 80%, and almost a third of individual entrepreneurs have ceased their activities. The study also forecasts the conditions for post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, taking into account the fate of returning refugees and the country’s prospects for joining the European Union. The practical significance of this study is to assess the impact of changes in the structure of the labour market on the Ukrainian economy. The results may be useful for government agencies that are already formulating a strategy for Ukraine’s post-war recovery

MACROECONOMIC STRATEGY FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE GAS DISTRIBUTION MARKET ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE MARSHALL PLAN

Ukraine suffered giant human, material, and resource losses from the war. This led to a change in the Strategy and Tactics for the future allocation of resources and strategies for the macroeconomic recovery of the energy sector. A sharp decline in Ukraine's energy intensity in all sectors of the economy resulted in a general decline in the country's gross domestic product. As a result of the military intervention, Ukraine's energy sector is characterized by high import dependence, low energy efficiency, and financial illiquidity. In addition, the subsequent market transformation has led to chaotic pricing of gas resources and utilities and low household income. The article discusses the main aspects of the famous Marshall Plan for the post-war reconstruction of the Ukrainian economic and energy systems. The study pays special attention to the macroeconomic Strategy for the energy sector's recovery. The article considers the existing developments of researchers and practitioners in analyzing the impact of the Marshall Plan on the recovery of European countries after World War II. When implementing this plan in the context of current national realities, the author outlines certain aspects that could be taken into account in the necessary implementation of a standard European policy of Ukraine's reconstruction, intensification of the business legal and competitive environment, and implementation of integrity issues about the focus and priority of individual industries and areas. It is particularly urgent to address the combination of renewable features in the context of European environmental, climate, and economic policies. Considering Ukraine's energy balance in wartime, the existing Energy Strategy should summarize the growth that will be implemented slowly. Gas resources will continue to play an essential role in domestic energy consumption. Therefore, in analyzing existing approaches, trends, and our beliefs, we modeled a possible macroeconomic Strategy for restoring Ukraine's gas distribution sector in the postwar period based on approaches specific to the Marshall Plan. The macroeconomic Strategy for restoring gas distribution companies in postwar Ukraine is a complex concept and consists of several government measures. This Strategy should consider the Marshall Plan, which has already positively affected some countries after World War II. The basis of this recovery plan is access to fuel and energy resources in a technically reliable, safe, cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable manner in the interests of consumers and society. Ukraine suffered giant human, material, and resource losses from the war. This has led to a change in the Strategy and Tactics for the future allocation of resources and macroeconomic recovery strategies for the energy sector. A sharp decline in Ukraine's energy intensity in all sectors of the economy resulted in a general decline in the country's gross domestic product. As a result of the military intervention, Ukraine's energy sector is characterized by high import dependence, low energy efficiency, and financial illiquidity. In addition, the resulting market transformation has led to chaotic pricing for gas resources and utilities.

Citizens’ Sentiments or Governmental Rationales? Post-War Reconstruction of Bombed Cities in the Netherlands

Citizens’ Sentiments or Governmental Rationales? Post-War Reconstruction of Bombed Cities in the Netherlands

‘Film, Fashion, Costume in Italy and Beyond’

This editorial positions the study of fashion and costume against the field of film studies and the history of Italian cinema and media. Although scholarly approaches to this field of study first appeared in Anglo American literature at the beginning of the 1990s, the pioneering work of Italian historian and film critic Mario Verdone has yet to be acknowledged. The anthology Verdone edited in 1950, a pivotal year of Italy’s post-war reconstruction, was the first of its kind: prior to its publication, the relationship between costume, fashion and film had never been the subject of scholarly enquiry. The title of Verdone’s book, La moda e il costume nel film (‘Fashion and costume in film’) calls attention to how these arts, techniques and industries work in the actual process of making films. Verdone’s book offers a context for the articles contained in this volume.

Sorting out and analyzing the root causes of the human rights crisis in Sri Lanka will help the country achieve post-war reconstruction and national reconciliation and find feasible ways to resolve the situation.

Innovatory Kharkiv Mass Housing Estates in Urban Planning of the 1960s-1980s

The destructions of the Russo-Ukrainian war are leading to a rapid loss of cultural heritage in Ukraine, including contemporary 20th century monuments in Kharkiv, the cradle of Ukrainian modernism. At the greatest risk are the sites, which were complex and not well understood heritage before the war - mass housing estates of 1960s-1980s. In view of the postwar reconstruction, there is a great need to analyze mass housing estates in Kharkiv as potential objects of preservation. The purpose of this article is to reveal the architectural and historical value of the first Kharkiv mass housing estates in terms of their innovation, which might be the basis for further preservation steps. The article focuses on the three earliest areas of mass housing estates of the city - Pavlovo Pole, Novi Budynky and Saltovsky mass housing, which were designed and built during the period of the transition to rapid and large-scale pre-fabricated industry in the late 1950s - early 1960s. It is namely during the design and construction of these estates that innovatory technologies and approaches were developed and tested, which were later used in the construction of new housing estates both in Kharkiv and in other cities of Ukraine. These innovations included the system of microdistricts, the staggered system of services for the population, and the method of focusing in urban planning. The creation of a number of standard series of pioneering residential buildings for mass industrial development by the “Kharkovproject” and “Ukrmistostroyproject” design institutes. The study is based on the reconstruction of the historical chronology of design work of 1960’s - 1980’s in the history of Ukrainian city planning; a comparative analysis of the first-erected housing estates, and the definition of the unique solutions of Kharkiv city planners that were implemented in the development of the first housing estates in Kharkiv.

Städte als Knotenpunkte von Konflikten. Die Rolle transnationaler Konzerne in städtischen Konflikten um Lieferketten und Logistik

AbstractMuch conflict studies scholarship on cities has focused on post-war urban reconstruction. However, high rates of violence and perceptions of urban insecurity, particularly in Latin America, have diluted the clear distinction between armed conflict and peace. From a different perspective, logistics studies have pointed out the conflictive impacts of goods movement on urban communities where efficient supply chains are the ultimate priority. This contribution offers an explorative reading of the 2021 protests in Colombia (‘paro urbano’) as the manifestation of a conflict in supply chain urbanism, and foregrounds the role of TNCs (transnational corporations) in escalating the conflict. Particularly in the city of Cali, protesters blocked roads and access for businesses for weeks. While contesting the national government and highlighting the extreme urban inequality exacerbated by policies primarily catered to TNCs and direct investments, they employed the role of the city as an essential logistics node as leverage in the conflict.

Labor productivity in retail trade

In the conditions of the war and the post-war Urainian economic recovery, human capital is one of the determining factors of the state’s existence and ensuring its competitiveness. The loss of human capital has caused a shortage of labor resources in various sectors of the economy, which affects the possibilities of gene­rating income and, as a result, financial results of economic entities. One of the largest components of the Ukrainian economy, which fills the budgets of all levels and creates jobs, is retail trade, which accounts for a significant share of employees among all types of economic activity. The dependence of the revenue amount from the sale of products (goods, services) on the amount of use of economic resources, including labor resources, is widely known. In view of the need for post-war reconstruction against the background of a shortage of labor resources, the aim was set to verify the truth of the principles of the relationship between the scope of activities and the amount of resources used, formulated back in the days of neoclassical economics. Verification of the truth of the formulated hypotheses was carried out on the basis of the use of correlation methods and regression analysis. According to the calculation results, it was not possible to fully illustrate the direct proportional dependence of revenue on the average number of employees for the formed sample of retail trade enterprises. There is also a lack of direct relationship between revenue and labor productivity for both larger and smaller retail enterprises. Further research will be aimed at substantiating other samples of Ukrainian retail trade enterprises and finding interdependencies between their scope of acti­vity and the amount of economic resources involved in the conditions of war and post-war recovery.

A Brief Moment in the Sun: Francis Cardozo and Reconstruction in South Carolina

Neil Kinghan offers an intriguing biography of Francis Cardozo, the first African American to hold statewide office after the Civil War. As secretary of state, and later treasurer of South Carolina, Kinghan reevaluates Cardozo’s historical significance as an instrumental figure in the postwar reconstruction of the state. The primary aim of this book is to “give [Cardozo] the recognition he deserves and restore his place in African American history of the nineteenth century.” In so doing, Kinghan addresses the “still inadequate recognition of the achievements of the period and almost none of the contribution of Francis Cardozo.” The author uses Cardozo’s achievements as minister, educator, and politician to critique the understanding – popularized after Redemption – of Reconstruction as a “tragic era.” Far from a period of failure, he emphasizes Cardozo’s tangible contributions to the enduring successes that African Americans could carry forward after Reconstruction’s demise, and into Jim Crow.

National policy instruments for restoring the post-war economy and factors of sustainability of the Ukrainian economy

Although Ukraine’s economy is still suffering from the negative effects of Russia’s full-scale invasion, questions are already arising about the possibilities of ensuring its post-war recovery, so it is important to study the policy instruments to achieve an effective recovery. The purpose of the study was to analyse the existing public policy instruments and identify those that would allow for the most effective recovery of Ukraine’s post-war economy. The main research methods used were analysis, forecasting, and abstraction. The study examined a large number of policy instruments that could be used in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine’s economy. They covered both financial and social components aimed at facilitating recovery and ensuring long-term stability. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the policy instruments and their characteristics, emphasising the importance of their use in the post-war period. Special attention is paid to the issues of economic stability, which was also proposed to be achieved by working on two separate components: economic and political stability, and recommendations for achieving them using certain state instruments were provided. Economic diversification is highlighted as a separate factor that plays an important role in the long-term development of the country and is a critical part of building the resilience of the Ukrainian economy after the war. The work brings new knowledge to the analysis of public policy instruments, which will allow to build a more effective strategy for rebuilding the Ukrainian economy in the post-war years
