| Inhalt | This colloquium brings together leading scholars in political science, public policy, and international relations to examine the complex interplay between war, democracy, and civic agency in Ukraine and its relevance in the global context. The sessions will address both macro-level dynamics, mezzo-level of institutional changes and micro-level civic responses, including such topics as Russia’s military aggression, patronal presidentialism, women’s participation, civil society, local governance, nonviolent resistance, digital democracy, and anti-corruption activism. The colloquium aims to offer a comprehensive view of Ukraine’s political and social transformations, highlighting how the country is navigating and reshaping its post-Soviet institutional legacy. It emphasizes Ukraine’s hybrid path to democracy — where de facto practices often outpace de jure frameworks — and reflects on the broader implications of these processes for European security and international democratic development. The colloquium invites guest speakers and participants to reflect not only on Ukraine’s trajectory but also on the broader relevance of its experience in times of global uncertainty and democratic fragility. |
| Lernziele | Seminar participants will gain insights into ongoing political and social transformations in Ukraine and their broader implications, as well as will be engaged in meaningful discussions with the guest speakers on proposed topics. |
