THE ROLE OF COMMUNICATIVE AND INSTITUTIONAL INTERACTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INCLUSIVE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article discusses the relevance of modernizing public administration mechanisms in Ukraine in the context of European integration and the challenges of the war and post-war periods. It emphasizes the strategic importance of effective communication and institutional interaction between government authorities and civil society for building trust, legitimacy of decisions, and sustainable development. The author examines specific practices aimed at studying the level of interaction between residents and local authorities and outlines key aspects that should be taken into account when implementing such initiatives. The importance of early forecasting of effective practices of interaction in the context of post-war recovery is emphasized, with an assessment of their sustainability, adaptability, and potential for recovery and transformation in changed socio-political circumstances. At the same time, the feasibility of expanding the methodological basis for studying the interaction between authorities and the community by detailing external and internal factors is justified; deeper elaboration of analytical components within each of the areas studied (“regulatory framework”; “activities”; “impact/results”), etc. It is concluded that taking these approaches into account deepens theoretical understanding and strengthens the empirical component of the analysis of the interaction between the authorities and the community, focused on the principles of multi-level participation, trust, and inclusion.Promising mechanisms for the transformation of inclusive public administration have been identified, in particular co-creation and citizen oversight, which are key tools for effective interaction between the authorities and the public.However, it is emphasized that there is a need to transform traditional models of interaction by developing partnerships and introducing proactive communication tools, which are critical for the sustainable development of local communities and regions.
