Abstract:
Purpose. To examine the experience of Great Britain in reforming the coal industry, as well as the opportunity to use the British Government’s experience in reforming the coal industry in Ukraine.
Methodology. The authors used the system and structure, structure and functional, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction methods, as well as methods of comparison and prediction.
Findings. When considering the experience of Great Britain in reforming the coal industry, the authors accentuated: 1) the general characteristics of the industry; 2) the role of public administration in reforming the coal industry; 3) the importance of the coal industry in the British Government’s strategy. The general characteristics of the British coal industry showed that the UK economy had completely got rid of coal dependency. The analysis of normative legal documents of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy found a complete absence of references to the coal industry as such. Confrontation of Margaret Thatcher’s government with the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) in 1984–1985 and subsequent results of this confrontation proved the effectiveness and the dominant role of public administration in reforming the coal industry. In fact, public administration in the UK coal industry was aimed at declining its importance in the economy of the state. In analysing the importance of the coal industry in the strategies of the governments of Ukraine and Great Britain, the authors have found diametrically opposite vision. The Ukrainian government is focused on reforming the coal industry and increasing coal production, whereas the UK government does not even consider the coal industry in its strategy. The UK government builds its economy on low carbon and resource-efficient technologies.
Originality. The authors have proved the effectiveness of using the public administration in reforming the coal industry.
Practical value. The research does not only prove the power and effectiveness of using the public administration in reforming the coal industry. The authors have showed the difference between the vision of the coal industry prospects in the strategies of the governments of Great Britain and Ukraine, as well as possibilities of using public administration for building economy on low carbon and resource-efficient technologies.
