Keywords:

Synopsis
Transformations of national economies under conditions of instability
Project management is an institutional element in the development of modern management. It involves processes where specific enterprises and organizations receive orders for implementing particular projects and form teams to achieve goals in production and other processes. However, projects also exist at the level of the national economic environment. For instance, the government can organize a tender for completing a certain task, which is also a project executed by entrepreneurs to achieve macroeconomic goals. These projects must be innovative because only high-tech solutions can achieve high efficiency, aligning with the overall development level of the national economy.
It should be noted that the study of management projects at the macro level is a new aspect of economic science. This article reveals the theoretical issues of the development and evolution of macro-projects, assesses the state of project management in the national economy of Ukraine, highlights issues related to the creation of clusters as state projects, and identifies applied issues of project management at the macro level.
The national economy consists of various sectors and enterprises, which can form clusters in different regions of the country. Thus, the Italian economy is characterized by a high degree of clustering. This example can be applied to Ukraine by stimulating regional economic growth. Clusters are regional projects that unite related and supporting industries and enterprises. In Ukraine, a cluster such as "agriculture – food industry" could be formed, serving as a national economic development project while taking into account the specificities of different regions.
Ukraine is currently in a state of war, a highly critical situation. The full-scale invasion by Russia has revealed numerous vulnerabilities in both individual enterprises and the national economy as a whole, including dependency on imported raw materials and their equivalents, a lack of high-tech innovations of Ukrainian origin for defense systems, and more. Given this, it is important to recognize that the country's economy is in a state of turbulence, and there is a need to propose solutions for overcoming the military crisis.
