Abstract

The article examines theoretical and practical approaches to improving the management measures of state, regional, and local authorities in the process of structural transformation of the regional economy. Structural transformation is defined as a systemic process of qualitative changes in the proportions and interactions among the main sectors of the economy, aimed at ensuring long-term economic growth, enhancing competitiveness, and strengthening the resilience of regions under current challenges. It is shown that the effectiveness of this process largely depends on the quality of managerial decisions, the institutional environment, and the ability of authorities to implement innovative mechanisms of economic policy. The tools of public administration, regional policy, and local self-government that influence the dynamics of structural changes — particularly in the areas of investment, innovation, and human capital development — are analyzed. Special attention is given to the analysis of transformation processes in the Zakarpattia region, which, under conditions of martial law, demonstrates adaptability and new vectors of economic growth. Positive trends are identified, including the development of small and mediumsized businesses, the expansion of cross-border cooperation, and the strengthening of the logistic, agricultural, and creative sectors. The necessity of strengthening the role of local self-government as a key driver of transformational processes is substantiated. Approaches are proposed for developing localized indicators for assessing structural changes, building economic clusters, and implementing smart-specialization instruments to enhance regional competitiveness. The importance of digital platforms for territorial development management and partnershipbased models of interaction between authorities, businesses, and communities is revealed. It is concluded that the structural transformation of the regional economy requires a comprehensive approach that combines institutional, managerial, and technological innovations. The implementation of these approaches will make it possible to ensure sustainable economic growth and balanced development of Ukraine’s regions in the post-war period.
