Responsabilidad financiera del estado: un análisis comparativo de los enfoques de los países europeos en tiempos de paz y de guerra

Keywords: financial policy, legal order integration, socio-technological globalization, martial law, public administration

Abstract

The aim of the article was to unveil the essence of the financial responsibility of the State within a comparative analysis of the approaches of European countries, in times of peace and war. The complexity of the subject led to the complex application of research methods, in particular: dialectical, systemic, comparative, synergistic, normative and logical analysis, synthesis. The practice of the implementation of State responsibility in some European and Asian countries was studied and it was concluded that it had been established particularly in times of peace. However, it is argued that such experience of public finance could also be useful in the Ukrainian realities of reconstruction and recovery. Ukrainian legal instruments concerning the financial responsibility of the state were also examined and the respective court decisions were researched. Among other things, it is concluded that, the financial liability of the subjects of public administration and their officials or employees is to be understood in terms of compensation of damages for wrongful acts in the form of decisions or actions that led to infringement or disregard of the rights and legitimate interests of the payers.
