The post-war recovery policy of Ukraine, the development of which takes on the characteristics of one of the most important prerequisites for ensuring national economic security, its epistemological premise contains a generalization of the experience of other countries that faced similar civilizational challenges. The purpose of the article is to understand the initial basic institutional and organizational management principles of the Marshall Plan and the experience of the postwar development of the countries of Western Europe, the Indo-Pacific subregion, the Middle East, the Western Balkans, and Georgia in order to determine the conditions and prospects for adapting their approaches and mechanisms in Ukraine in the context further development of the foundations of the state policy of post-war reconstruction. At the same time, the definition of the original category "state policy of post-war economic recovery" of Ukraine in a limited sense can be stated as follows. This is a set of basic theoretical provisions, organizational and management measures and regulatory mechanisms aimed at ensuring the socio-economic development of the country in post-war conditions. Based on a combination of institutional, economic, scientific and technical, nature protection, and purely military features, it is recognized that it is especially necessary to take into account the experience of the following countries and subregions: West Germany, Great Britain, France, and Italy, as the countries - the largest recipients of the "Marshall Plan"; countries of the Indo-Pacific subregion (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam), based on their special scientific and technological achievements; Israel - taking into account a number of similar features of Ukraine with it regarding the vital activities of the state and society at the post-war stage; countries of the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro) based on the common problems of Ukraine in the context of implementation of the European integration course; Georgia - based on a set of common institutional and military conditions. Summarizing the experience of post-war recovery on the example of these ten countries and the Western Balkans subregion for more than seventy-five years following the Second World War and seven more local wars, made it possible to determine the essential content of those characteristics of recovery measures, the adaptation of which is useful for Ukraine, and those characteristics that Ukraine should not assume.
