Views on Understanding the Adaptation of Public Administration to the Conditions of Martial Law

Abstract

Purpose: The aggression by Russia has led to the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, the conditions of which affect all spheres of life in Ukrainian society. Public administration bodies are forced to adapt to the new working conditions, and, unfortunately, these conditions mostly complicate and sometimes even slow down the European integration processes in Ukraine.   Method: The article uses general and special scientific methods.   Results: The legal regime of martial law significantly restructures the system of public administration in Ukraine. However, it is possible to understand the mechanism, internal nature and further development of such restructuring only through the prism of analyzing the essence of the process of adaptation to martial law.   Conclusions: The authors distinguish two components of adaptation to martial law: first, in the field of economic and business activities; second, in the field of law enforcement activities. Based on the comprehended problematic aspects and components of adaptation of public administration to martial law, the following areas of its improvement are identified: interaction of security and defense forces; ensuring rational implementation of all types of management activities in the course of the digitalization of social relations; observance of the rights of persons with disabilities under martial law.
