INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN POST-WAR ECONOMIC RECOVERY

Abstract

The article is dedicated to analyzing the experiences of countries that successfully rebuilt their econ-omies after armed conflicts. It examines various strategic approaches implemented by foreign nations to support their economies under challenging conditions. Key aspects of successful recovery are discussed, including political leadership, strategic planning, efficient resource management, and international cooperation. The article explores case studies from Europe, Asia, and other regions where post-war economic reconstruction programs were effec-tively implemented. It highlights initiatives and measures taken for post-war economic development in countries affected by military actions. The author analyzes the main lessons from these successful experiences and provides recommendations for their potential application in Ukraine, especially in the context of current challenges during wartime and post-war periods, emphasizing the need to stabilize the national economy. The article aims to assist in formulating strategies and programs aimed at ensuring sustainable development and strengthening economic resilience in Ukraine during post-war reconstruction. It synthesizes success factors from post-war economic devel-opment in war-affected countries and proposes success factors for Ukraine's post-war economic development. The research results establish key directions necessary for further economic development in Ukraine, namely: creating a stable political environment and robust institutions that uphold the rule of law, protect property rights, and enforce contracts; modernizing the national security system through the development of the military-industrial complex and strengthening national identity; preparing a qualified workforce through active development of both public and private educational institutions; attracting investments in scientific research to foster innovation and the develop-ment of new technologies; creating a favorable business environment that supports entrepreneurship, innovation, and investments; and transitioning from raw material exports to finished product exports.
