Social Investment in the System of Ensuring Economic Security and Development of Post-Conflict Regions<\/b><\/p>\n

Abstract. Introduction. <\/i><\/b>The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of social investment as a strategic instrument for ensuring economic security and sustainable recovery of territories affected by armed conflicts. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the critical vulnerability of post-conflict regions, large-scale destruction of social infrastructure, deep labour market deformation, and the urgent need to transition from passive humanitarian aid distribution to proactive mechanisms for building long-term economic resilience.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Purpose<\/i><\/b>. The study aims to substantiate the adaptive-security function of social investments, determine their systemic role in restoring and modernizing regional economies, and develop a toolkit for their practical implementation.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Results<\/i><\/b>. The findings indicate that social investment should be viewed not as current consumptive expenditure but as a catalyst for long-term economic potential and a driver of structural changes. Five interconnected components of the adaptive-security function are identified: preventive, stabilizing, adaptive, institutional, and transformative. A functional classification of social investments, differentiated by time horizon and targeted impact on the security environment, is developed. A conceptual model of the cascading transformation of investment resources into economic security is constructed, featuring a positive feedback loop – the \u00abresilience spiral\u00bb. Key implementation risk groups (managerial, economic, social, institutional) are identified with mitigation measures, and an indicator system for empirical model verification is formulated.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/i><\/b>. The results can be applied by state and local authorities in developing comprehensive post-war recovery strategies, optimizing international assistance programs, enhancing public-private partnership mechanisms, and by scholars and analytical centers for monitoring the effectiveness of socially oriented investment programs at the regional level.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
