Public Management of Education and Science: Tendencies for Globalization, Digitalization, and Ukrainization

Globalization have a strong impact on education and science, being a catalyst for progressive changes. This research aims to analyze a new paradigm of public management as a unique symbiosis of cosmopolitan and Ukraine-centric thinking. The research methodology combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyze the impact of globalization on education and science in Ukraine. Key components include a review of recent literature on governance, digitalization, and national identity, alongside a comparative analysis of digitalization strategies in different countries to identify best practices for Ukraine. This multidisciplinary approach forms a basis for developing effective policies in the management of education and science in the face of globalization and digitalization. Thus, the analysis of globalization and digitalization impact on the development of education and science in 2003-2022 demonstrated the lack of clear patterns against the background of increased turbulence of the market space, which complicates designing the universal public management model. On the basis of differential calculus, the public management optimization model of digitalization in education and science is developed. This optimization model can be applied as an element of the national public management strategy for digitalization in education and science. Finally, it was established that there are significant direct links between digitalization expenditures, global partnership, Ukrainization level, digital competences, and socio-economic gains of digitalization.
