FOUNDATIONS OF UKRAINIAN ECONOMIC RECOVERY

Abstract

At the end of 2024, the English publishing house "Cambridge Scholars Publishing" published a fundamental monograph by Ukrainian authors "Transformation and Post-War Economic Recovery of Ukraine", edited by Leonid Kistersky and Anatoly Zadoia. The scientific editors, who are themselves the authors of the chapters, managed to attract leading specialists from the most reputable universities and research institutions of the National Academy of Scien ces of Ukraine. Structurally, the monograph has 22 chapters, which are combined into 5 sections, which are dedicated to the leading sectors and problems of the Ukrainian economy that require recovery. The purpose of this monograph is to study the post-war revival of the main sectors of the Ukrainian economy based on positive world experience and advanced technologies. So far, neither in Ukraine nor in other countries has there been a comprehensive study of a similar problem, which would analyse possibilities of recovery and competitive development of the main sectors of the economy. To solve the problems caused by the RF’s war against Ukraine, not only new economic mechanisms are needed, but also new approaches to the selection of personnel that will consider high spiritual, moral and other human values on Ukraine's path to high-tech development. The problems that Ukraine will have to
solve are unique. But this does not exclude possibilities of using positive experience of other countries. For Ukraine, the most interesting and useful may be the experience of Poland in joining the EU and NATO. The final section of the monograph, written by the outstanding Polish scientist and politician (twice a senator of the Polish Sejm) and organizer of education, Professor Krzysztof Pawlowski, who is the founder and president of the Higher School of Business-National Louis University in Nowy Sącz, is devoted to the generalization of this experience.

According to the authors of the monograph, to overcome the current systemic crisis in Ukraine, it is necessary to use tactical and strategic reform measures in a consolidated manner. Immediate tactical measures include reforming the governance system and combating corruption, and strategic ones include restoring the rule of law and moral and ethical norms in the economy, i.e. Christian values.

Of course, the focus of the monograph is the study of the problems of transformation and post-war recovery of the Ukrainian economy, and the English language monograph is primarily intended for potential practical participants in these processes. However, it will be interesting and useful to all researchers who analyse the transformations of complex economic systems.
