Abstract

In 2024, a publishing house "Cambridge Scholars Publishing", England, issued a fundamental monograph by Ukrainian authors "Transformation and Post-War Economic Recovery of Ukraine", edited by Leonid Kistersky and Anatoly Zadoia. The scientific editors managed to attract leading Ukrainian specialists from the country’s most reputable universities and research institutions and the founding president of Wyższa Szkoła Biznesu – National Louis University (WSB-NLU) in Nowy Sącz, Poland, since the experience of Poland on its way to the EU and NATO may be interesting and useful for Ukraine.

Structurally, the monograph has 22 chapters, which are combined into 5 sections dedicated to the leading sectors and problems of the Ukrainian economy that requires post-war 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.

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.

The focus of the monograph is the study of the problems of transformation and post-war recovery of the Ukrainian economy, and its publication in English helps to attract primarily potential practical participants in these processes. However, the monograph will also be interesting and useful to all researchers who analyse transformations of complex contemporary economic systems.
