Украинский Институт Политики (УИП) провел онлайн-конференцию, где ведущие политологи, историки и ученые из Украины, США и Европы обсуждают реалистичные сценарии завершения войны и будущие гарантии безопасности для Украины.
Традиционные механизмы, такие как НАТО, поддержка США, договоры о безопасности, больше не гарантируют стабильности Украине.
Эксперты считают, что конфликт перешел в фазу, где классическая военная помощь должна быть дополнена или заменена новыми моделями: от технологической независимости от ИИ-корпораций Кремниевой долины до поиска политического баланса между «милитаризацией» и «нейтралитетом». Главный посыл – Украине и Европе нужно готовиться к автономности, искать реалистичные компромиссы и создавать новую архитектуру мира, которая не приведет к бесконечной гонке вооружений.

Prof. Stephen Bronner has been leading an international network of scholars and experts to study dialogue and diplomacy in the world, with a particular focus on peace negotiations, in theory as well as practice. In this interview he presents his views on the Russo-Ukrainian war, but also on Israel and Palestine. He offers his assessment of the impact of the Alaska summit on the diplomacy surrounding the war in Ukraine. He elaborates on some concrete steps that could be made to bring the positions of the two sides closer to each other.

He also connects the concept of peace with culture, encouraging the prevention of conflict to remain on the agenda, also as part of European foreign policy. One conclusion of the conversation is that the complexity of the maximum plan, for example, in the case of Palestine, should not be used as an excuse for not doing the absolute minimum to ensure the safety and security of the civilian population.

The corona virus has had a terrible impact on the planet: hundreds of thousands have died and millions have been infected. Everyday life has been turned upside down through masking, social distancing, and remaining at home. Businesses have been dramatically impacted and lack of faith in established political leaders has in many cases contributed to what had already become a polarized cultural atmosphere. With nerves on edge, and time on people’s hands, sensational videos depicting the brutal murder of George Floyd helped produce the context of massive protests focusing on racial inequality. Even the most sophisticated scientists have been baffled by the disease, and how to cure it. The fear, frustration, and confusion it has caused among everyday people, who lack scientific knowledge of any sort, has grown exponentially as they seek simple explanations. Conspiracy fits the bill: so, for example, it has been suggested that the cause of COVID-19 is immigrants and 5G cell towers, more than twenty of which have been destroyed by arson in the United Kingdom. In the United States, meanwhile, right-wing populists insist that the disease has been spread by Bill Gates, George Soros, and the “deep state.” Other conspiracy theories focus on the Chinese, or Jews, or Arabs. Extremism is fueled by such ideas and, in conjunction with a dramatic economic downturn as well as new acts of police brutality, protests against racial and social injustice have marked the historical context.

Corona, extremism, and protest are thus intertwined—and the International Council for Diplomacy and Dialogue (ICDD) is proposing a one-day symposium that deals directly with the impact of the virus, the politics of its more extreme conspiratorial interpretations of corona, and the new possibilities raised by protests that have become a worldwide phenomenon. To this end, ICDD has brought together some of its most important representatives to provide new cosmopolitan perspectives and the benefits of their expertise. Lack of knowledge can only intensify mistrust and neurotic fears – and this conference aims to confront the problem.

Participants include:

Dr. Stephen Eric Bronner, Board of Governors Professor of Political Science (Emeritus) at Rutgers University and Co-Director of the International Council for Diplomacy and Dialogue [moderator]

Dr. Micheline Ishay, Distinguished Professor of Human Rights and International Studies and Director of the Human Rights Program
at the Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver

Igor Kotler, President and Executive Director of the Museum of Human Rights, Freedom and Tolerance

Elif Selin Calik, Journalist at the Middle East Monitor

Dr. Edwin Daniel Jacob, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University

Dr. Antonietta Elia, Senior Associate Fellow in Law and International Legal Adviser at the University of Santiago de Compostela

Eric Gozlan, Co-Director of the International Council for Diplomacy and Dialogue
