The literature evaluating NATO or EU SSR missions from a policy studies perspective has largely focused on the Middle East or Africa (Sedra 2006, 2013; Schröder et al. 2013; Schröder 2014), rather than on Eastern European transition states (Simons 2012 on Georgia is an exception). In the “eastern neighbourhood”, NATO and the EU appear to approach SSR support differently in light of the geopolitical context (Tytarchuk and Khylko 2016; Jayasundara-Smits 2018)."

A number of proposals are being put forward, including expanding the ‘Normandy Format’ to include the United States and the United Kingdom. Another plan was proposed by Martin Sajdik, Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office in the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine. The plan suggests the involvement of the United Nations, which, together with the OSCE, would set up a transitional administration in the areas not controlled by the Ukrainian government and hold local elections, while the European Union (EU) would set up an agency for the reconstruction of the Donbas. The plan is largely in line with Minsk II, but it will depend on whether or not Kyiv and Moscow would be able to agree to the modalities, such as the size of the UN/OSCE mission, the ability for displaced persons to participate in local elections, and the ability of Ukraine to regain control of its side of the border with Russia in Donbas (Khylko, 2019).”

Even a cursory glance at the mandates of the United Nations (UN), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the African Union (AU), and the European Union (EU), as well as the foreign policies of numerous states affords copious evidence of the central role that managing violent conflict occupies in the crisis management strategies of various security actors (Goda, Tytarchuk, and Khylko 2016; Freedman 2014; Tercovich 2014; NATO 2010; Freedman 2014).”

The project “Joint Masters in Global Media, Democracy and Digital Power (application to Erasmus Mundus Masters)”, ENLIGHT Incubator Grant 2025 – Strand A – Joint Study Programmes, 01.11.2025 – 31.10.2027 (University of Galway, FSES UK, UPV/EHU University of the Basque Country). Type of participation: principal Investigator from FSES UK. The proposed Joint Masters addresses the urgent and growing need to understand the complex interplay between digital communication technologies and democratic governance. The programme’s overarching goal is to prepare a new generation of critical thinkers, analysts, and practitioners who are equipped to lead, regulate, and advocate in increasingly digitised and contested public spheres. Specifically, the programme will: Critically interrogate how digital platforms and algorithmic systems shape political communication, institutional trust, public perceptions and civic life; Explore global and comparative approaches to digital governance, information manipulation and weaponisation activities including disinformation, platform regulation, and media ethics; Provide students with applied, interdisciplinary training across media studies, political science, technology policy, EU and global legal framework and democratic theory; Foster cross-cultural and transnational perspectives through a joint curriculum, shared teaching, and structured mobility across ENLIGHT institutions; Embed global perspectives by including affiliated institutions in Latin America, Africa, and Asia to ensure diverse and decolonial approaches to democratic media systems. Students will graduate with a robust understanding of how digital technologies impact democracy both within Europe and globally, and with the competencies required to work in policy-making, journalism, civil society, advocacy, regulation, and academia.

The project “Navigating Ukrainians’ Integration in Slovakia: Multifaceted approach to identification of barriers and facilitators”, APVV-24-0328, 01.09.2025 –  31.08.2029. Type of participation: staff directly involved in project. The research takes a multifaceted approach, considering individual immigrants’ experiences in Slovakia, Slovak policy contexts, developments in Ukraine, and broader European dynamics. Key research questions focus on migrants’ living and working conditions, factors influencing their integration, and Slovakia’s capacity to manage migration. Using mixed-methods, we integrate quantitative statistical analysis and qualitative methodologies, including longitudinal survey, in-depth interviews, and policy analysis. We seek to generate a comprehensive understanding of Ukrainian migrants’ socio-economic integration and produce two quantitative and three qualitative databases to inform future research, one of them being the first longitudina panel data collection on migrant population in Slovakia. Academically, this study addresses a critical knowledge gap in migration research, particularly in new immigration destinations, labour migration, and female migration. From a policy perspective, it contributes to the development of evidence-based integration policies, aligning with the EU’s 2024 Pact on Migration and Asylum. The project aims to enhance Slovakia’s capacity for migrant integration and position the country within broader European migration research.

The project “Black Sea Cooperation for Stronger Security: Georgia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan”, implemented in 2022 by Georgian Institute of Politics (Georgia), Foreign Policy Council “Ukrainian Prism” (Ukraine), and Caucasus Policy Analysis Centre (Azerbaijan), supported by the European Union and the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation. Type of participation: leading researcher from Ukraine. The project aimed to enhance cooperation among the wider Black Sea region countries: Georgia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan, to address the common security challenges stemming from Russia’s security posture. The project produced research, built on expert surveys, interviews and local discussions, as well as provided policy recommendations to the governments of Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan, international actors, and local stakeholders. https://gip.ge/publication-post/black-sea-security-after-the-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-views-from-ukraine-georgia-and-azerbaijan/
