Abstract:
Poland’s transformation of its public administration and
management system during European integration is considered one of the most
successful examples of institutional modernization in Central and Eastern Europe.
The transition from a centralized socialist model to a democratic and decentralized
governance system enabled Poland to adapt effectively to European Union standards
and achieve significant socio-economic progress. This experience is especially
relevant for Ukraine, which is currently implementing large-scale reforms in the
context of European integration, wartime challenges, and post-war reconstruction.
The Polish model demonstrates how reforms in public administration, local
governance, financial management, and digitalization can strengthen state institutions
and accelerate integration into the European political and economic space.
