PUBLIC MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT OF THE INFORMATION SPACE OF UKRAINE: DEVELOPMENT VECTORS, STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

Андрушко І. (I. Andrushko) — 2025-06-27

The article highlights the strategic priorities and main directions of
public management of the development of the information space of Ukraine in the
context of digitalization, globalization and new challenges of information security. It is
emphasized that the formation of an open, secure and inclusive information space is a
key factor in strengthening national security, developing the digital economy and
supporting democratic processes.
The need for a comprehensive approach to management is substantiated,
combining institutional, regulatory, technological and socio-humanitarian aspects.
Particular attention is paid to the harmonization of national policy with international
standards and best world practices, as well as the involvement of the public and expert
circles in the formation of policy in the field of information space development. The
emphasis is on the need to strengthen the institutional capacity of government bodies,
develop the digital literacy of the population and stimulate innovative activity.
The article emphasizes that strategic management must meet the requirements
of transparency, openness and efficiency, contributing to the formation of a high-tech
state and strengthening social trust. Directions for improving state policy in this area
are proposed to increase Ukraineʼs competitiveness and its integration into the global
information environment.
The article also emphasizes the importance of flexibility in management
decisions and the implementation of modern information and analytical systems that
allow for rapid adaptation to new challenges. Special attention is paid to the
development of state partnerships with the private sector and civil society, which will
contribute to the introduction of innovations and the formation of a digital economy.
The need to develop cyber defense systems, media literacy, and an archetypal
approach to strengthening information independence is emphasized. The article offers
scientifically based recommendations for improving state policy for the development of
Ukraineʼs information space, taking into account global challenges and socio-cultural
features, which will become the basis for the formation of a competitive, safe, and
democratic digital state.

FINANCING THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE UNDER MARTIAL LAW: PROBLEMATIC ISSUES AND THE SEARCH FOR AN OPTIMAL MODEL

Боков О. (O. Bokov) — 2025-06-27

In the context of the large-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into
Ukraine and counteraction to its armed aggression, the issue of the need to maintain an
adequate level of Ukraineʼs defense capability is becoming more urgent, which requires a
significant increase in state spending on the security and defense sector of the state and the
improvement of relevant financial mechanisms in this direction.
The purpose of the article is to study the trends in state financing of the Armed Forces
of Ukraine under martial law, to identify problematic issues in this area, and to develop
proposals for the rational distribution of budget funds allocated to financing the armed forces.
The analysis of state expenditures of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in 2021–2024
by the main areas of financing the armed forces shows that in recent years, approaches to
forming the state defense budget and bringing them into line with NATO standards have been
gradually changing in Ukraine.
The stateʼs regulatory and legal framework defines priority and strategic goals for the
development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, namely: unified leadership of the defense forces
in accordance with NATO principles; an effective system of planning and resource management; the formation of operational defense capabilities; ensuring social protection of
military personnel and the creation of the necessary military reserve.
The implementation of the above priorities and strategic goals can be ensured through
optimization and rational use of budget funds allocated to the financing and development of the
Armed Forces of Ukraine.

SOCIOLOGY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONAS A SCIENTIFIC DIRECTION AND A SPHERE OF PRACTICAL ACTIVITY

Кальниш Ю. (Yu. Kalnysh) — 2025-06-27

The use of sociological methods to measure public opinion has become
an important part of the influence of these tools on the development of social technologies
in public administration. In particular, they allow studying political and administrative
reforms not only from the point of view of their relationship with generalized indicators
of the countryʼs development, but also with the opinion of the population, etc. Recently,
the volume of research on the social effectiveness of public administration has been
growing, and this growing volume of research has borrowed an interdisciplinary
approach to the analysis of public administration systems. The article confirms that sociology is closely related to the study and practice of public administration in various
aspects.
The purpose of the study, the results of which are highlighted in this article, was
to determine the object-subject area of the scientific direction of sociology of public
administration, taking into account the scope of its practical application.
In the process of research, it is shown that the main instrument of mutual influence
of the governing and governed social systems is public opinion, the content of which
determines the willingness of individual individuals and groups to follow the proposed
social norms in everyday practice. Using sociological methods of diagnostics,
prognostics, programming and monitoring of public opinion, public authorities
determine the ways of forming on its basis the conforming behavior of members of society,
which allows the political elite not to lose the trust of the people.
The author claims that the sociology of public administration is a kind of
«cornerstone» of information and analytical support of public administration processes
- an interdisciplinary branch of social sciences that studies the system and processes of
public administration that are formed in the process of social development in the
conditions of interaction of management systems with other social systems and individual
individuals; management mechanisms of social changes; patterns of social actions and
behavior of people included in the management system.
It is determined that the sociological component of information and analytical
support of public administration processes is a permanently cyclical system of
diagnostics, forecasting, programming, planning and monitoring, both of social
processes as a whole and of public administrative influence on them.

MODERN STATE: STRONG STATE OR CORPORATION STATE

Козаков В. (V. Kozakov) — 2025-06-27

The article is devoted to identifying key trends in the development of the
modern state, its main characteristics and trends of further development.
It is determined that modern geopolitical world trends necessarily lead to the
need to create a «strong state», because only a strong state is able to effectively solve the
problems of modern life. Only a strong state can resist the erosion of national-state
identity, which is associated with modern processes of globalization. The main features
of such a state should be: the effectiveness of economic transformations; effective
administration with a minimum of bureaucracy, control of corruption and bribery;
maintaining a high level of transparency and accountability of government institutions;
legitimacy and stability of the state, etc.
At the same time, it has been determined that today the state has difficulty
preserving its national identity, as transnational corporations are destroying the
established state system; the sharp mobility of the population is increasing, socioeconomic contradictions between regions are intensifying, etc.
The idea that in a globalizing world, there is free competition that stimulates
innovation, reduces prices and benefits the consumer is nothing more than an illusion. In
fact, food, medicine, information - everything that is used by every person every day is
controlled by a few investment firms.
The content of the concept of «stakeholder capitalism» is analyzed, which is that
if corporations no longer think exclusively about achieving profit, literally at any cost,
then the perception of them in the public consciousness will change – corporations appear
as a source of goodness, justice and competence, in contrast to the government, which
does not care about the population and constantly leads the situation into crisis.
The article analyzes the activities of BigTech - the largest technology companies
that create their own ecosystems: Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Meta (Facebook),
etc., a huge resource that is expressed in money and talents.

INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION POLICY AS AN OBJECT OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (part 2)

Любченко А. (A. Lyubchenko) — 2025-06-27

The article continues the study of the international information policy
of Ukraine as an object of state administration.
The problem of increasing the effectiveness of the international information policy
of Ukraine is especially relevant in the context of large-scale Russian aggression, during
which the enemy uses a wide range of means of special information and informationpsychological operations against Ukraine. Therefore, Ukraine needs to form a new
theoretical basis and a practical system of state-administrative means to promote its own
national interests in the world information arena. The priority task in this direction is the
development and scientific substantiation of the theoretical and methodological
principles of the formation and implementation of the international information policy of
Ukraine in the context of digital transformation.
One of the components in the study of international information policy is the
category of «diplomacy», diplomatic service. In scientific circulation we find various
names and definitions of diplomacy: this is digital diplomacy, and, electronic diplomacy,
and, diplomatic service, etc. All these concepts are undoubtedly related to public
administration in the field of international information policy of Ukraine, determine the
strategic course, as well as political and state tasks in the information-analytical,
organizational and managerial spheres.
In the 21st century, with the development of information and communication
technologies, the era of digital technologies is coming, the role of social networks is
increasing, which today are an alternative to traditional means of communication for
receiving, distributing and exchanging information. In the modern realities of the global
development of the information society, the theoretical and methodological foundations
(categories, patterns, principles, methods, concepts, models, systems) of the formation
and implementation of Ukraineʼs international information policy in the context of digital
transformations are clearly becoming the subject of scientific research, the result of
which are numerous works by many foreign and domestic scientists. This problem
remains relevant for further research, in particular because the digital transformation of
the state is an integral part of the more general process of the digital transformation of
society as a whole, which is determined by an innumerable number of objective and
subjective determinants.

IMPLEMENTATION OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION PROCESSES: PROSPECTS FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND CURRENT CHALLENGES

Малахова Т. (Т. Malakhova) — 2025-06-27

The article explores the integration of blockchain technologies into the
public administration system of Ukraine as a key element of the countryʼs digital
transformation. In the context of ongoing reforms aimed at modernising administrative
processes and increasing transparency within government institutions, blockchain
emerges as an innovative tool grounded in openness, data immutability, and
decentralisation. The authors highlight Ukraineʼs successful initial applications of
blockchain solutions, particularly in the creation of an open land cadastre and the
registration of property rights. These practices contribute to reducing corruption risks,
strengthening public trust in government institutions, and ensuring the secure storage of
critical data. At the same time, the study identifies key challenges that hinder the full
implementation of this technology. Among them is the insufficient development of digital
infrastructure, especially in rural areas, where the lack of high-speed internet access
impedes the effective deployment of blockchain platforms. The article also underscores
the urgent need for a comprehensive legal framework that will recognise the legal validity
of blockchain-based electronic records and provide reliable protection of personal and
registry data from unauthorised access. The paper outlines the potential of blockchain
technology in enhancing public sector efficiency, suggests directions for further research,
and emphasises the importance of cross-sectoral cooperation for the successful adoption
of digital innovations in governance.

HUMAN-CENTRICITY OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS AS A SECURITY IMPERATIVE OF THE UKRAINIAN STATE

Пашко Л. (L. Pashko) — 2025-06-27

The article defines the digitalization of the state as a process of not only
the introduction, but also the effective application of modern digital technologies by
public authorities in their activities. It is emphasized that in the current conditions, the
focus of digital transformations on people poses a challenge for Ukraine as a modern
democratic state with its mandatory dimensions.
The thesis on the need for official recognition of the human-centeredness of digital
transformations as a security imperative of the Ukrainian state at the current stage of its
functioning is substantiated.
The semantic essence of the concept of human-centeredness of digital
transformations is defined.
It is emphasized that anthropocentrism as a security imperative has a direct
impact not only on the efficiency and effectiveness of the functioning of public authorities
and the public administration system in particular, but also, in general, on such
components of the modern Ukrainian state as: authority, image, trust.
It is noted that the human-centric efficiency of digital transformation processes
should become a prerequisite for the functioning of Ukraine as a successful digital state.
It has been determined that the basis of the human-centricity of a digital state
should be maximizing the quality of service to citizens, increasing the efficiency and
effectiveness of public authorities through the development and application of the latest
IT systems and public e-services.
It is noted that the online system of public services «Diya» can be considered a
successful implementation of the stated ambitions.
It was emphasized that digital rights should now be recognized as modern human
rights in the information society. Moreover, their implementation must necessarily be
accompanied by significant and appropriate social transformations at the stage of
digitalization of the state.
The idea that ensuring human-centeredness in the processes of state digitalization
should become a priority state interest of Ukraine at the current stage of its functioning
is substantiated.
It is emphasized that the result of significant digital shifts should be the
transformation of public administration into an open, transparent, strategically adequate and socially responsible, human-centered continuous process of mutually beneficial
interaction in the format of «state – public authorities – citizens – public authorities –
state».

CURRENT TRENDS IN DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Петькун C. (S. Petkun) — 2025-06-27

The article examines the key trends in the digital transformation of
public administration in the context of the formation of an information society and
globalization. It is substantiated that digitalization is not only a technological process,
but also a profound institutional shift that transforms the forms of interaction between
the state, citizens and business. The authors emphasize that digital tools determine the
innovative potential of modern states, affect the efficiency of management processes,
transparency of procedures, social justice and the level of trust in government.
Particular attention is paid to the Ukrainian context of digital transformation in
the context of martial law, which led to the emergency introduction of new forms of
management, digital services and regulatory solutions. Examples of the systems «Diya»,
Prozorro, Ukraine's participation in the «Digital Europe» program, as well as high
results in international e-government rankings (EGDI, E-Participation) are considered.
The paper presents a comparative analysis of digital governance models in leading EU
countries (Sweden, Austria, Poland, Estonia), focusing on cultural and civilizational
factors and the absence of a universal model of a digital state.
Barriers to the implementation of digital solutions in Ukraine are identified: the
lack of a single model, weak regulatory framework, limited analytical support. The
authors justify the need to integrate best European practices into the national digital
development strategy to build a service-oriented, open and effective public administration
system.

DIGITAL CHALLENGES AND INSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS IN THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM OF UKRAINE

Солодовнік Д. (D. Solodovnik) — 2025-06-27

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the digital challenges
and institutional constraints that accompany the process of digital transformation of
public administration in Ukraine. Given the stateʼs strategic course towards European
integration, reforming the public administration sector, and adapting to the challenges
of wartime, digitalization is considered a key factor in the modernization of the
management system.
The study outlines the main digital challenges facing public administration:
uneven digital infrastructure between regions, fragmentation of information systems,
insufficient level of digital competencies of civil servants, weak interdepartmental
coordination, and legal uncertainty of digital processes. Institutional constraints are
identified, including: inertia of management structures focused on bureaucratic logic;
lack of regulatory support for digital initiatives; formal approach to digital services;
imitation of transparency in the absence of real control mechanisms.
In order to illustrate the real state of digitalization, examples of three landmark
national projects – «Diya», Prozorro and eHealth – are considered. Their
achievements, institutional barriers and systemic problems of scaling are analyzed.
Strategic directions for overcoming institutional barriers are outlined: updating
the regulatory framework of digital governance, implementing institutional
mechanisms for interagency interaction, developing digital competencies in the civil
service, strengthening cybersecurity and ensuring feedback with users of public eservices. The need to transition from fragmented digitalization to systemic management
of digital transformation is substantiated, which involves not only technological, but
also organizational, cultural, legal and managerial modernization.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AS A TOOL FOR PUBLIC SECTOR MODERNIZATION

Стороженко Л. (L. Storozhenko) — 2025-06-27

The article considers digital transformation as a systemic tool for
modernizing the public sector in the context of the emergence of a new form of
government – netocracy. Particular attention is paid to the shift in the management
paradigm from the traditional hierarchical model to a network-oriented, knowledgecentric public administration based on digital competence, access to information flows
and strategic platform management. The focus of the study is the phenomenon of
netocracy as a new type of power transformation, in which legitimacy moves from
official mandates to digital reputation and influence in the information space.
The relationship between digital technologies, public services, algorithmic
management and new sources of legitimation is analyzed. It is emphasized that digital
transformation is not limited to the technical improvement of public services, but is a
deep systemic change in management logic that integrates elements of openness, anticorruption, social inclusion and adaptability.
The Ukrainian case study – the «Diya» platform and the activities of the Ministry
of Digital Transformation of Ukraine as examples of the implementation of digital
governance built on netocracy principles – is examined. The potential of digitalization
for ensuring sustainable development, improving the quality of governance and
implementing citizensʼ digital rights is revealed.
The challenges of the digital age are separately analyzed: issues of
cybersecurity, digital sovereignty, risks of algorithmic discrimination, accessibility of
digital services for vulnerable groups of the population. It is substantiated that digital
transformation in the context of the emergence of netocracy is not only a tool for
innovation, but also a mechanism for updating the model of public administration and
forming a new social contract between the state, citizens and digital elites in the context
of global changes and military challenges.
