Abstract
The article develops a comprehensive methodological approach to assessing the level of Ukraine’s economic security in the context of national economic restructuring during wartime and in the post-war period. The study integrates institutional, cluster, and comparative analysis methods to identify the key determinants influencing the stability and transformation of the state’s economic system. The proposed methodological framework comprises seven components of economic security – economic development, public administration, industry, science and innovation, education, investment, and infrastructure – the integral values of which are calculated for Ukraine and compared with countries representing three global clusters (Malaysia, Poland, and the Netherlands). The results show that Ukraine’s Economic Security Index (0.3962) exceeds the threshold value for low-security countries but remains below the average and high cluster levels. The analysis reveals that the main areas for strengthening economic security include stimulating investment activity, developing infrastructure, modernizing industry, and improving the efficiency of public administration. Three post-war development scenarios are proposed: a realistic scenario (Poland model), an optimistic scenario (Malaysia model), and a long-term scenario (Netherlands model). The scientific novelty of the study lies in enhancing methodological tools for assessing state economic security through a multi-level cluster approach and international comparative analysis. The practical significance is determined by the possibility of applying the proposed methodology to the development of state policy aimed at ensuring economic resilience and effective management of post-war recovery processes.
