B a c k g r o u n d . Public administration undergoes significant transformations in the context of military conflicts, which requires the adaptation of political institutions, legislation and administrative mechanisms. The historical experience of different countries shows that effective management during the war is based on a combination of centralization of power, security and preservation of democratic institutions. Analysis of these processes is important for the development of management strategies that can meet modern challenges.
M e t h o d s . The work uses an interdisciplinary approach, including historical, comparative and institutional analysis. The methods of documentary analysis, the study of normative legal acts, the case-stock of individual countries, as well as the synthesis of the results obtained for the formation of general conclusions are applied.
R e s u l t s . The study confirms that the adaptation of public administration to the conditions of war is accompanied by an increase in executive power, a change in the legal framework and an expansion of regulatory mechanisms. The study of the experience of ancient Rome, Great Britain, Israel and the United States allows us to outline the main models of management during martial law. It is established that democratic countries try to maintain a balance between the centralization of power and civil rights, which is a key factor in the stability of state institutions.
C o n c l u s i o n s . The study of global experiences in the transformation of public administration during armed conflicts confirms that the ability of political institutions to adapt to crisis conditions is a crucial factor in preserving statehood. The examples of Ancient Rome, the United Kingdom, Israel, and the United States demonstrate a variety of approaches to administrative changes, which depend on the political system, legal norms, and historical traditions.
