Ukraine in a Changing Europe

Ukraine in a Changing Europe

Leader: Valeriya Korablyova, Ph.D.

The research center takes recent developments in and around Ukraine as a point of departure to discuss broader implications and reverberations of what came to be known as “the Ukraine crisis” and eventually escalated into a full-blown war that challenged the foundations of the European and global order. The underlying assumption is that the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine stands as the ultimate disruption of the post-Cold war order, which resists containment as a local tension but instead calls for revisions of existing paradigms. This epistemological and political challenge already resulted in new scientific trends (decolonization of East European Studies) and new political projects (e.g. the European Political Community).
