Ways to increase public policy resilience

The article examines the problem of strengthening the resilience of public policy in the face of modern challenges. According to the authors, resilient public policy is able to ensure the continuity of basic state functions, the stability of institutions and the trust of citizens. Three key components of the concept of resilience are identified: adaptation to environmental changes, preservation of the main functions and structures of the system, recovery or transformation after a crisis. It is emphasized that in the field of public administration, resilience acts not as a static, but as a dynamic property of the system, which allows for flexible response to challenges, minimize negative consequences and ensure long-term development capacity. It is shown that reliability and resilience have become central in the political strategies of many governments. It is substantiated that the formation of resilient public policy involves a purposeful transformation of institutions, management processes and approaches to decision-making, taking into account modern threats and an unstable environment. It is emphasized that in this context it is advisable to highlight a number of key areas, the implementation of which will contribute to increasing the ability of public policy to withstand external and internal shocks: strengthening institutional resilience; adaptive management and strategic flexibility; transparency, communication and trust; knowledge management and learning from experience; reducing social vulnerability; use of digital technologies. It is proven that increasing the resilience of public policy requires a comprehensive approach focused on strengthening institutions, developing flexible management mechanisms, inclusiveness, transparency and innovation. In the context of modern challenges facing Ukraine, the development of such a policy becomes the key to effective public administration, preserving social unity and national security. It is determined that social resilience is one of the cornerstones of public resilience. Politicians should be sensitive to the needs of vulnerable groups of the population, include them in decision-making processes and ensure access to basic services even in emergency circumstances.
