Based on the use of analytical-descriptive, comparative methods, as well as the method of classifications, war has been studied as a phenomenon, a concept, a practice of digital society and a social problem. The authors generalise the conceptualisation of war in the optics theoretical and methodological approaches: philosophical, historical, sociological, economic, socio-psychological, political, ethical, and cultural. The common features of these approaches are highlighted. First, almost all these approaches attempt an analytical view of war. Secondly, the theme of war is considered in the systemic dichotomy “war – peace”. Third, the focus is on the hybridity of modern forms of war and peace. Fourth, there is an active search for mechanisms to move from a “culture of war” to a “culture of peace”. Such mechanisms are primarily counteraction to the militarized worldview through the spread of the idea of peace, knowledge of peace and active tolerance; formation of new world order and its institutional design; professionalisation of analytical communities; mediatisation of the results of analytical activities in the context of digitalisation of various spheres of public life. The result and novelty of the study is to identify the authors of such basic types of the vulnerability of analysts’ perceptions of war, namely: vulnerability due to unwillingness (both professional and personal and personal) of experts to cooperate in an interdisciplinary space; information and communication vulnerability; socio-technological vulnerability; vulnerability due to the lack of analytical communities and their weak demand and institutional support. Requirements for analysts on war and peace as specialists in information and analytical activities have been developed. Areas of application of results – information consulting, education, public administration, mass media. Prospects for further scientific research – further in-depth research of the role of sociology of war and sociology of war in the information component of war and peace.","PeriodicalId":436487,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Society","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125954770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since February 24, 2022, about 15 million have been displaced. This category can be divided into internally displaced persons (≈8 million) and Ukrainians who found temporary shelter abroad (≈7 million). Ukrainian refugees are a large social group whose members are united by the shared status of displaced persons and common problems typical for refugees. The article examines the internal structure of the group and five “waves” of internally displaced persons, differing in the time of exit from places of permanent residence, social composition, and attitudes. The article identifies a category of citizens who refused to leave and remained in their homes. Likewise, the paper also sheds light on the perspective of the invading power toward civilians. Firstly, the aggressor viewed civilians as hostages and means of blackmail; secondly, it provoked a mass exodus to pressure European countries; thirdly, the aggressor used local communities as a source of support for its own military; fourthly, Ukrainian civilians were used as a “biomass”. It is concluded that the social capital acquired during the previous decades of Ukrainian independence played an essential role in preventing panic, chaos, and social catastrophe. The article suggests that it could be beneficial to design “exit strategies” from large cities and specific regions to ensure Ukrainian civilians’ safety.","PeriodicalId":436487,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Society","volume":"271 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132224098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors outline the general situation with the domestic educational system as a vital component of the socio-economic development considering Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression. The relevance of the research topic is driven by the necessity to meet the fundamental needs of the population, including the right to education, and thus the organization of the educational process for Ukrainian students under martial law in Ukraine. However, it is challenging without international financial support. The primary external sources and financial assistance instruments are analyzed by the cases of leading international financial organizations and foreign countries. The authors revealed that with the beginning of full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine, several international partners have expressed willingness and have already taken the necessary steps to allocate funds to address pressing wartime problems, among which is the support of the continuity of education. The main regulatory and legislative obstacles that arise in providing financial support within Ukraine’s international cooperation framework are described. Our emphasis is on Ukraine’s European path to democratic development, as evidenced by the EU’s comprehensive financial support for the educational needs of Ukrainians (children and students, teachers and researchers) displaced abroad. The features of the support of the organization of the educational process in Ukraine by international partners in the context of different educational levels are analyzed. The paper offers some conclusions and recommendations for further steps to attract international financial assistance to develop Ukrainian education.","PeriodicalId":436487,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Society","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125953016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison with the number of members of informal online associations of Ukrainians in Estonia, as well as with official demographic statistics, shows that there is significantly low coverage of the Ukrainian community by the services of Ukrainian diaspora organizations in Estonia. Based on a survey of members of informal online associations of Ukrainians in Estonia, it is shown that despite the general awareness of the goals of diaspora non-governmental organizations, primarily young immigrants with little experience in the country feel the dissonance between the activities of these non-governmental organizations and their needs, which leads to negative views on the activity of organizations of the Ukrainian diaspora in Estonia and weak involvement in the life of the local community. At the same time, the extensive network of Ukrainian diaspora organizations in the country, the availability of basic funding for those organizations from the Estonian government and material and technical support, long experience and relevance of issues related to the Ukrainian community in Estonian society, became a necessary prerequisite for a rapid and positive response of Estonian society to the significant influx of Ukrainian refugees who arrived after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and the active mobilization of Estonian society to help war survivors.","PeriodicalId":436487,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Society","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125985247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Public imagination as a modern mechanism of solidarization in the Ukrainian nation","authors":"T. Novachenko","doi":"10.15407/socium2022.02.051","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15407/socium2022.02.051","url":null,"abstract":"The article is devoted to the pressing issue of defining modern solidarity mechanisms in the Ukrainian nation, one of which is the public imagination. The methodological basis of the presented intelligence is the scientific work of C.G. Jung, the founder of one of the philosophical concepts of the collective unconscious; the work of French scientist – G. Durand, author of the concept of l’imaginaire – imaginary, who emphasizes that the world around us is the result of a free play of imagination, and modern French sociologist M. Maffesoli, – a cross-cutting problem of his research also poses the phenomenon of its social imaginary embodiment in social and symbolic forms, and several Ukrainian architects – E. Afonin, D. Zaiets, A. Martynov, V. Pliushch, V. Tancher. Based on the analysis of the presented works, the author has obtained the basis for developing a unique “ontology of the imager” – an imaginary image that is always specific. One or another “colour” of the imaginary image gives the semantic meanings that a person remembers following particular objects of reality, including political, as well as a generalized imaginary image as an ideal of actions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviour corresponding to the archetype “Self”, determining the psychological integrity of the individual. It has been confirmed that a person remembers only the most essential characteristics of an object, which constitute a “complete” imaginary image. Still they may lose touch with a particular object, retaining its typical features. This fact makes it possible to state that the type of generalized imaginary image appears as a social imaginary that influences reality creation. At the same time, due to horizontal social ties and the diversity of the individual imagination, “organic” (according to E. Durkheim) solidarity is achieved, which is a kind of strategy to mobilize society, especially in times of severe crises or threats. The public imagination is a “complete” imaginary image, which may lose touch with a particular object but retain its typical features, which allows us to determine its archetypal matrix and modern mechanism of solidarity of the Ukrainian nation.","PeriodicalId":436487,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Society","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128648427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of Ukrainian society is undergoing constant changes that require new leaders who can ensure constructive change. In the field of public administration, special attention needs to be paid to the issue of leadership, which is related to the generation of innovations and their implementation, resource issues of self-organisation. The theoretical foundations of leadership are considered, considering the main archetypal theories. The typology of M. Weber’s leadership is revealed based on the sense of social approval and expressed trust and reveals the following leadership legitimacy: traditional, charismatic, and rational-legal. The key differences between the concepts of “leader” and “manager” are highlighted. O. Neuberger’s typology of archetypal patterns of leadership is outlined, and their timeless, structural manifestations and determinants of interactions are revealed. Possibilities of applying the basic ideas of Durand’s sociology in modern concepts of leadership through the representation of symbolic structures that create meaning, structuring the basic guidelines of experience and actions, depending on individual interpretive abilities and continuous exchange between man and culture, demonstrating powerful psychoenergetic potential. The possibility of using a sociological approach to outline the determinants of leadership activity is substantiated. This approach is based on the ideas of psychoanalysis, deep psychology, structural and political anthropology, phenomenology, and ethology. It is noted that the fundamental concept of Durand’s theory of imagination is the imaginary. Peculiarities in applying mythoanalysis to public administration in the context of transformational leadership are considered. Leadership’s cognitive and emotional assets are considered to substantiate modern leaders’ innovation and self-realisation potential. Features of the mythocritical and mythoanalytical method of G.

In the process of research, the definition of the ethnocentric doctrine of W. Sumner is formulated. An attempt is made to positively analyse the correlation of Sumner’s newly introduced concepts of “we-group” and “they-group”. The paper defined it as a result of research by scientists of the so-called “primitive societies”. The study examined many available ethnocentric concepts of modern Western political scientists and sociologists, identified their perception of the causal and functional burden on this phenomenon as a property of individuals, social groups, and communities (as carriers of ethnic identity) to perceive and evaluate life phenomena through the prism of traditions and values of their ethnic community, which acts as a specific general standard or optimum. The socio-empirical data collected, accumulated, and systematized during research are of great value as it creates limited ethnocultural contacts and leads to growing hostility in the ethnopolitical field. It is emphasized that the sources and causes of ethnocentrism are simple, hidden in the uncritical perception of information and negative attitudes towards their own and other ethnic groups. It is noted that the future without ethnocentrism should be associated with a balanced state policy in deepening and expanding interethnic contacts. The anti-ethnocentric policy also involves the comprehensive development of interethnic communicative culture, overcoming ethnic stereotypes (negative and positive attitudes of ethnic identification).","PeriodicalId":436487,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Society","volume":"566 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132897918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims to analyse the features of building institutional and innovative projects within the new concept of territorial development resources based on the archetypal approach and develop practical recommendations for their implementation on the example of sub-ethnic groups of the Sumy region. The study based on world experience substantiates that the process of innovative development of territories should not focus solely on economic issues and technological change but should consider socio-cultural aspects that can be viewed as an essential component of the potential. Considering territorial archetypes when initiating changes and resolving issues of territorial development will allow the development of effective measures through the rational use of resource potential. It is determined that the question of considering socio-cultural historical and modern approaches to to studying settlements, cities, and landscapes (regional and local aspects), analysis of their formation, change and development in developing strategies. The importance of the regional component is illustrated by the experience of the EU, where local authorities are gaining more and more ground in finding the most practical and concrete opportunities for territories. It is determined that public administration undergoes significant changes under the influence of postmodernism, a new philosophy of building organizational structures, government, and management. It considers the uncertainty and ambiguity of new types of social systems and is seen as open to the future. The authors consider the application of postmodern theories to be fruitful in studying the impact of the socio-cultural environment on socio-economic processes and adaptation of innovations. This factor’s impact on economic entities’ behaviour has traditionally been regarded as exogenous. Given the use of postmodern methodology must be studied when trying to return people and actual processes to a place occupied by abstract variables and modelled dependencies. The influence of postmodernism at the territorial level is determined based on the evolution of innovation communities. This approach is consistent with the current EU regional policy, which aims to enhance regions’ development by improving competitiveness efficiency. It is proposed to consider the possibility of using institutional and innovative projects for sustainable development of territories, considering the archetypal resource component and the concept of innovation communities.
