STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES OF UKRAINE’S POST-WAR RECOVERY

Abstract

The main strategic principles of Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction are defined and analyzed: recovery resources management, a value-oriented approach to reformation and recovery processes, and education with an emphasis on the training of specialists with high ethical values. Post-war recovery is just the beginning of Ukraine's long-term movement toward high-tech development.

The need to create a concrete recovery program agreed with the donor countries is substantiated, which will allow Ukraine not only to rebuild on European principles, but also to gain membership in Euro-Atlantic institutions. The contours of such a program and ways of its implementation are defined. At the current stage, a new architecture of international development is needed. It may be a coalition based on the interaction of many parties, which, in parallel with Ukraine’s recovery, will stimulate its integration into the EU. The process of establishing the coordination of donor activities with the recipient is analyzed in detail as one of the most important and most difficult elements of the "Marshall plan" implementation in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

The main variants of coordination possibilities are considered and a specific variant of coordination mechanism for today’s Ukraine is proposed. To overcome the existing systemic crisis, it is expedient to use tactical and strategic reform measures in a consolidated manner. Urgent tactical measures are the management system reform and the fight against corruption, and strategic measures are restoring the rule of law and ethical norms in the economy, that is, Christian values. It is substantiated that today human capital plays an increasingly important role in the global environment, and education and science have become key elements in determining the quality aspects of the labor force. It is shown that the success of the "Marshall plan" and South Korea’s reconstruction based on the development of high technologies are due not only to a high-quality project management structure, but also to the fostering of talented individuals and engaging them in the implementation of projects.
