Public Policy and Institutional Change in the Middle of Conflict Project

The massive invasion of Russian Military Forces on the territory of Ukraine on 22 February 2022 had a long preparation, which testifies to the Crimea and Donbas occupation and the Central government's destabilization in Kyiv. That included mass media campaigns with a false interpretation of historical narratives developed 'pseudo-patriotic' and sometimes open neo-fascist movements that were highly spread on the territory of the Russian Federation and its satellite states worldwide. The 'Russia Today Chanel' and The 'Russkiy Mir Foundation' are only a few examples of such agents. In addition, the Hybrid, attacks, and troll factories, under the Federal Security Service coverage, prepared the ground for the invasion. This psychological warfare, based on mass media and internet platforms, aimed to erase and distort the national identity by provoking false political and public discourse. Those "concepts" of division significantly affected neglected weak with the weak and corrupted government structures.

Nevertheless, the successes of the Russian Hybrid activities cannot be correlated only to Ukraine. Different pro-Russian organizations are acting openly or hidden worldwide. As a result, the divided society is a hotspot for hybrid intervention and operation of hybrid activities (post-Truth) worldwide and can be used by other non-democratic governments.

The project aims to build a strong core of Conflict Transformation and Reconciliation Research in Post-Conflict Society, particularly in eastern regions of Ukraine affected mainly by war. The project involves Ukrainian and international research groups to develop a Ph.D. program for Ukrainian postgraduates. The main aim is to participate from Russian and Ukrainian-speaking researchers living in Ukraine or occupied territories. The program will be an integrated project for Ph.D. at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.

• Developing academic and practical steps of cooperation and project for institutional change in the Ukrainian society toward democratization. Those steps include establishing a research journal and academic publications on the inclusion and post-war transformation of Russian-speaking society in the particular war-affected and temporarily occupied territories. 
• Creation of a group of inclusion researchers from Kharkiv National University (postgraduate students) who focus on the ethnic, cultural, and gender diversity of Ukrainian society. 

• The Jena Center for Reconciliation Studies (Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena). 
• The Waseda University in Japan, represented by Prof. Dr. Toyomi Asano (Faculty of Political Science and Economics). 
• Education and Scientific Institute of Public AdministrationExternal link (V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University) 

• The assumption that Media and Propaganda an Elements of Hybrid War (based on the latest research and the Ph.D. thesis of Hybrid War & Media Confrontation in Russian-Ukrainian Conflict 2014-2019. Ways of Reconciliation and Creating a Peaceful Relation). Perception of Norman Fairclough (1992; 2003; 2009), Ruth Wodak (1999; 2018), and Theon Van Djik (2001; 2000; 2013). Conflict Transformation Approach: Non-violent Transformation of Society in the middle and after a conflict and restoring destroyed relationships - (Model developed by John Paul Lederach (1997; 2004); Lewis, A. Coser (1957). Integration of multi-identities into the main narrative – through democratization and institutional post-soviet change. Peace co-existence and protection against danger Cyber Influence (Presented Lee Cameron McIntyre). Historical perception in Building identity 1991-2022.
  The search for countermeasures against hybrid threats is based, in particular, on the research on security and asymmetric conflict in international relations (Weissmann, Mikael & Nilsson, Niklas & Palmertz, Björn & Thunholm, Per., 2021); a global inventory of organized social media manipulation (Samantha Bradshaw, Philip N. Howard, 2017); democratic deterrence of hybrid interference (Mikael Wigell, 2019), Stephen M. Walt (The Renaissance of Security Studies, 1991).
• A promising tool for managing conflicts and ensuring national security in the context of hybrid threats and permanent armed conflicts is reflexive management, which reflects a general approach to human management using various techniques of hidden influence. In this context, intersubjective interaction is considered a variety of social interaction of independent subjects of social relations at different levels, from the global to the level of an individual; it can be interregional, interdepartmental, inter-organizational, intergroup, interpersonal, partner, or antagonistic. At the same time, each party has its own goals, values, and expectations, its vision of the future and intentions, and also forms its position and independent behavior regarding the ways and means of achieving goals (T. Parsons, P. Sorokin, H. Haken, H. Mintzberg, G. Homans).
• Working groups of researchers will work on strengthening national identity and institutional changes in post-conflict society (eastern territories of Ukraine, affected by Russian aggression), considering the model of social changes and transformation of post-imperial Japanese society.
  The program is directed toward students from the affected regions studying/or will obtain their Ph.D. degree to be part of the national identity and social transformation project. The candidates from V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University will join and be guided by Researchers from Germany and Japan.

• Development of democracy in the post-Soviet (post-totalitarian) Ukrainian society, institutional changes with the possibility of using different models of successful transformation (post-Imperial Japan, reforms of Poland and the Baltic States). 
• Public policy and public management in conditions of hybrid threats. 
• Social integration of ethnic Russian-speaking Ukrainians, their heritage, memories, and
  identity into the Ukrainian identity in opposition to Russian and Soviet imperial domination and propaganda. 
• Management of social conflicts. 

• Development of a program for the study of national identity, social conflict management, mechanisms for countering hybrid threats, democratization, and institutional changes, which can become a pioneering program for developing a post-conflict society. In addition, the program can become a nucleus for strengthening the narratives of national identity and the nation-state as critical factors of national security in the context of globalization and the development of the information society. 
• The program aims to implement practical measures that combine the support of the Ukrainian scientific community. This is development amid war and support for integration strategies of war-torn regions through narratives of democratization and institutional development.
