Abstract:
Purpose. To conduct a comprehensive study of the macroeconomic challenges of Ukraine’s post-war recovery and to develop scientific and practical recommendations for ensuring socio-economic development based on intellectualization, innovative progress, and European integration.
Methodology. The study is based on the techno-socio-economic paradigm of economic development. To achieve the research objectives, methods of comparative, systematic, structural-logical, economic-statistical, and critical analysis, grouping, and logical generalization were used.
Findings. The article analyzes the global political, social, and economic consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war for Ukraine and the world economy and outlines scenarios for the development of macroeconomic indicators in the medium and long term. The paper provides a comparative analysis of the experience of countries that have effectively implemented post-war transformation strategies and identifies universal principles of structural economic renewal based on the consolidation of the nation around common goals and all resources mobilization. The innovative and scientific-technological potential of Ukraine is examined, its position in global rankings is determined, and the possibilities for integration into a single European economic and scientific-technological community are identified. The research proves that the intellectualization of the economy, which involves the synergy of scientific, educational, innovative, and cultural components of social potential, is a prerequisite for sustainable development. The authors provide recommendations for activating Ukraine’s potential. We estimate the importance of external support for ensuring the sustainability of transformation processes. The authors develop a system of organizational, regulatory, and managerial measures aimed at implementing state policy in the segment of science, technological progress, and innovation.
Originality. The analysis of the global political and economic consequences of the war is systematically combined with the development of a recovery model based not only on infrastructure and financial reconstruction, but also on the formation of a knowledge economy. The authors propose integrating human resource development tools, advanced digital technologies, and innovative ecosystems into the reconstruction strategy as long-term drivers of economic progress.
Practical value. The results of the study are of practical importance for the development of public policy concepts, modernization programs, and the formation of a comprehensive strategy for Ukraine’s intellectual development in the context of post-war reconstruction.
