Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the integrated approach as a method for implementing the principle of alignment between national, regional, and local interests, ensuring the integration of sectoral, spatial, and governance dimensions of public policy. The study analyses the application of the integrated approach in planning Ukraine’s post-war recovery and demonstrates its role in strengthening the coherence between strategic, spatial, and financial planning across all levels of governance.The findings indicate that the effective implementation of an integrated approach to Ukraine’s post-war recovery policy under conditions of multilevel governance requires a high level of coordination among policy actors. The study substantiates the need to establish an integrated government mechanism whose strategic purpose is to ensure the alignment of goals, interests, and actions, as well as the coordination of efforts and synchronization of measures undertaken by all stakeholders involved in post-war recovery.It is argued that the government mechanism for Ukraine’s post-war recovery should be understood as a special institutional regime, formalized through detailed procedures and embedded in the regulatory framework as a set of rules governing interaction, coordination of actions, and synchronization of decisions among institutionally diverse policy actors. Through procedural regulation and the interconnection of individual actions, this mechanism is intended to ensure the integration of post-war recovery processes and facilitate a common strategic position among key policy stakeholders.The study identifies two interrelated dimensions of the government mechanism – an institutional dimension and a technological dimension – which are integrated through the managerial technology of strategic design. This technology provides a framework for synchronizing and coordinating the actions, resources, and measures of all actors involved in implementing the recovery policy.The scientific novelty of the research lies in conceptualizing the government mechanism for Ukraine’s post-war recovery as a special institutional regime aimed at achieving strategic policy outcomes through procedural regulation, the interconnection of individual actions, and the integration of post-war recovery processes. The practical significance of the study is determined by the potential application of its findings in developing Ukraine’s Post-War Recovery Strategy.
