Abstract

The article proposes a conceptual model of public strategic management for the post-war recovery of socio-economic systems, which integrates three interrelated components: human capital, partnership (collaborative) governance, and resilience. It is substantiated that human capital acts as a key driver of institutional capacity and economic recovery, while partnership governance ensures coordination between the state, business, and civil society in the processes of implementing recovery policies. Resilience is interpreted as an integral result of the effectiveness of public administration, reflecting the ability of socio-economic systems to adapt, recover, and transform under the influence of crisis shocks. The empirical basis of the study consists of data from the Worldwide Governance Indicators (World Bank) and indicators of human capital development. Methods of comparative analysis and the nonparametric Mann-Whitney criterion are used to assess changes in the quality of governance in Ukraine during the pre-war and war periods. The results showed heterogeneous dynamics of institutional indicators, including a statistically significant decrease in the effectiveness of governance and the rule of law, as well as a partial improvement in corruption control. The proposed conceptual model of post-crisis development is consistent with the international frameworks for post-war recovery of the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme, the OECD, and the European Union and expands them by integrating human-centered, institutional, and sustainable approaches into a single analytical framework of public strategic management.

Keywords: public strategic management, post-war reconstruction, human capital, partnership governance, collaborative governance, resilience
