FOREIGN STATES’ EXPERIENCE IN DEFENCE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

This article provides a systematic analysis of foreign states’ experience in defence resource management with the aim of formulating practical recommendations for Ukraine in the context of prolonged armed conflict. It examines organizational models of resource governance (centralized, decentralized, integrated), institutional mechanisms of strategic planning, and the programme-budgeting approach (PPBE). The study highlights the role of public-private partnerships, digital information systems, analytical tools, and cyber defence, as well as human capital development through reserves, training, and civil-military cooperation. Comparative cases include the United States, Germany, Sweden, the Republic of Korea, Israel, Norway, China, Switzerland, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and Poland. The analysis reveals both universal patterns and context-specific practices, while stressing the risks of uncritical transfer of foreign models into Ukraine’s institutional environment. Barriers include institutional differences, fiscal constraints, political factors, and restricted access to sensitive data. The article proposes measures such as adapting foreign models to national specifics, strengthening legal frameworks, implementing electronic systems of planning and monitoring, establishing capability-based indicators, developing mobilization reserves, and improving personnel training and career management. These recommendations aim to increase efficiency and transparency of defence resource use, reinforce resilience of the national security and defence sector, and ensure sustainable longterm capabilities. The study also identifies priorities for further research, including foresight methodologies, technological integration, and institutionalization of continuous monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
