Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

This research investigates the transformation of administrative control mechanisms over local self-government decisions in Ukraine, focusing on intelligent technology integration within the context of decentralization reform and military challenges. The relevance of this topic stems from the need to ensure coherent actions across public administration levels to protect national security amid ongoing Russian aggression. The study employs a mixed methodological approach combining qualitative methods (analysis of regulations, European administrative practices, case studies) and quantitative methods (process modelling and statistical analysis). The research examines the European Union experiences in administrative control, analysing the prefectural model in France, the mixed oversight system in Poland, and civic control mechanisms in Sweden. Based on this analysis, the research develops a multi-level model of administrative control for Ukraine that integrates key European approaches: prefectural oversight from the French system, judicial protection mechanisms from the Polish model, and transparency tools from the Swedish practice. The model incorporates blockchain technology for decision tracking and artificial intelligence for risk assessment. The results show that while decentralization reform has strengthened local governments\u2019 capacity, challenges remain in ensuring municipal decisions\u2019 legality under martial law. The research proposes an implementation plan from legislative changes to system deployment. The scientific novelty lies in developing a holistic concept for transforming administrative control through legal, institutional, and technological innovations adapted to wartime conditions. The study contributes to administrative law theory by conceptualizing a framework that harmonizes centralized control with local autonomy, drawing on European practices. The findings provide insights for modernizing control systems in decentralized states facing security challenges, particularly in post-war reconstruction.<\/p>\n
