Good Governance as a Concept of (Post-)War Economy Recovery Infrastructure

This research explores the evolution of the concept of Good Governance as a fundamental requirement for effective recovery policy in the context of wartime and post-war economies.The core principles of Good Governance – responsibility, transparency, inclusivity, efficiency, public participation, and the rule of law – are investigated as tools for reestablishing stability and trust between citizens and the state in a crisis environment. A historical-comparative analysis of the implementation of Good Governance in post-war France, Korea, Bosnia, and Herzegovina is conducted to identify the essential components for successful institutional modernization and foreign support. The network-based approach to governance analysis used in this study high- lights the interactions between prominent actors, including the government, business, media, civil society, and foreign partners, to offer effective governance during a crisis. The findings indicate that the efficiency of Good Governance is more influenced by the institutional capacity of the governance network and the level of coordination than by the structure of the political system. The relevance of foreign experiences in developing Ukraine's strategic recovery plans based on Good Governance is evaluated. Future research will focus on implementing the concept of Good Governance in post-war recovery efforts in Ukraine.
