Adaptive Response Methodology For Sustainable Energy Systems Of The National Economy In The Security Dimension
(2024) Kharazishvili, Yurii; Sukhodolia, Oleksandr; Riabtsev, Gennadii; Kalinin, Oleksandr; Us, Galyna; Lunov, Yevhen
This article presents a methodology that combines expert assessments and mathematical calculations to quantify the impact of both external and internal threats on the energy security level of a state. The approach utilizes an energy security model to assess the overall impact of changes in integrated index components. Adaptive control methods are employed to decompose integrated indices and security indicators. The methodology incorporates indicators that determine safe existence limits within security gradations and uses normalization techniques and dynamic weighting coefficients. It also formalizes the impact of threats on the integral index, constructs a new trajectory for goal achievement, and decomposes the dynamics into components and energy security indicators. The developed methodology aids in formulating management decisions to mitigate and eliminate threats to energy security, ensuring adaptability within the energy system and maintaining a trajectory of sustainable development. This can be applied at various levels, from local to national, through the Energy Sustainability Plan of the Country.
Changes in the Political Discourse of Eastern European Countries in the Context of the Migration Crisis and Combating Human Rights Violation
(2024) Durdynets, Myroslav; Poda, Tetiana; Kostetska, Lidiia; Svoboda, Ivo; Strelchenko, Inna
The aim of the study is the analysis of changes in political discourse in the Eastern European countries during the migration crisis and its impact on political decisions. A mixed approach, combining graphic methods, comparative methods, sociological method and content analysis of studies and political texts, was used. The results of the study indicate significant changes in the political discourse during the migration crisis, which are characterized by the formulation of migration as a security threat, the prioritization of national identity, and the rise of populism. The political leaders‘ favour of anti-immigration sentiments reflects the influence of public opinion on policy decisions, while the media have played a key role in strengthening the securitized discourse. The study determines the impact of these changes in discourse on policy decisions, including the adoption of restrictive immigration measures and their consequences for European integration, democratic values, socio-cultural dynamics, and security.
Cross-Border Cooperation in the Context of the Movement to the "Blue Ocean" (Challenges for Ukraine)
(2020) Mykolaichuk, Mykola; Malysh, Nataliia
The purpose of the study is substantiating the theoretical and methodological aspects for cross-border cooperation between countries on the eastern borders EU with Ukraine, as a tool for moving to the “blue ocean” of market space. For achieving the researches’ goal, a methodology, which based on the comparison of the results of the sustainable development conditions of the border areas of neighbouring countries had been using. This approach, according to the authors, will help identify problems in the development of these areas and identify tasks to overcome them. On the example of development forecasting of Ukraine’s’ regions, the practical approach for the primary levers determining of influence on the factors of change in the conditions of development of border areas had been illustrating. The obtained results and the developed conclusions and proposals will contribute to the provision of adequate public administration for balanced and sustainable territories development.
Democratic control of the defence sector in Ukraine
(2023) Poshedin, Oleh
Ukraine has declared membership in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as its goal. One of the prerequisites for joining both organizations is the stability of institutions that guarantee, among other things, democracy and the rule of law. For Ukraine, exercising effective democratic control is a crucial issue of civil-military relations. The article analyzes individual words, phrases, and terms defining democratic control of the security and defence sector. Due to the method of synthesis, the elaborated material is generalized. The article’s results are also based on the author’s experience in the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and cooperation with foreign advisers who provided advisory assistance to the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The article considers democratic control as a problem of democratic governance of the defence sector. It is concluded that democratic defence governance allows for responsive, transparent decision-making, policy development, and policy implementation in a manner, which reinforces democratic control.

Dialogue for peace: the production of knowledge and norms between international practices and local ownership in Ukraine
(2024) Kyselova, Tetiana; Axyonova, Vera
This article scrutinises an attempt by Ukrainian dialogue practitioners to produce a set of norms guiding the conduct and funding of dialogue initiatives as a means of peacebuilding in post-2014 Ukraine. Drawing on critical constructivist approaches to the study of norm creation and transfer, the article uncovers the interplay between local and international actors behind this attempt, traces the processes of knowledge and norm production, and examines the extent to which the norms advocated for by dialogue practitioners were appropriated by the affected stakeholders. The study challenges the conception of local actors as receivers of internationally promoted norms and showcases the agency of Ukrainian dialogue practitioners in norm initiation. Simultaneously, it nuances the complex interconnectedness between the multiplicity of domestic and international actors involved in this process and thus adds to the literature questioning the oversimplification embedded in the dichotomy of the local vs. the international in peace research.
Digital Transformation and Cognitive Challenges in Project Management: Navigating Crises in the Information Society
(2025) Herasymchuk, Halyna; Puliak, Olha; Maltseva, Olha; Myhovych, Tetiana; Zharovska, Olena; Maksymchuk, Borys
Cognitive challenges and decision-making complexity are intensifying in the digital era, particularly within project management frameworks affected by systemic crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study explores how digital technologies reshape project management by influencing information processing, coordination, and governance models in both the private and public sectors. Drawing on empirical evidence from Ukrainian public institutions and SMEs. The article identifies the uneven pace o f digital adoption and the structural, ethical, and informational asymmetries that hinder optimal implementation. The study highlights how big data, intelligent analytics, and emeiging AI applications—particularly neural computing and machine learning—introduce new paradigms o f cognitive processing, configuration management, and value generation across the project lifecycle. It also addresses infrastructural and organisational obstacles, such as digital inequality, information overload, and the need for adaptive decision models. Special attention is given to public administration, where digital tools must balance democratic indusivity with system efficiency. The findings underscore the dual role of digital technologies as both enablers and disruptors of traditional management logic, requiring a fundamental reconceptualisation of how information is structured, evaluated, and acted upon in dynamic environments.
Dilemmas and trade-offs in peacemaking: A framework for navigating difficult decisions
(2019) Kraus, Anne Isabel; Frazer, Owen; Kirchhoff, Lars; Kyselova, Tatiana; Mason, Simon J. A.; Palmiano Federer, Julia
This article focuses on the dilemmas and trade-offs that third parties face when mediating violent political conflicts. Should they ignore human rights violations because pushing the issue could jeopardize relationships with political actors who grant access for humanitarian aid? Will bringing moderates and hardliners together help the peace process or radicalize moderate actors? What should dialogue facilitators do when the act of identifying non-mainstream groups to be included into dialogue increases division and polarization? The activity of peacemaking is inherently characterized by such process and strategy dilemmas where two equally compulsory imperatives seem not to be attainable at the same time. The article proposes a framework to break out of either-or thinking in these situations. We argue that: 1) making oneself aware of how a decision is perceived, and 2) systematically exploring a set of different strategies for creating new unexpected options helps to ease these decisions and avoid rotten compromises. The model reworks and combines existing problem solving strategies to create a new explorative option generation approach to peacemaking dilemmas and trade-offs. Some of these strategies, such as sequencing and incrementalization, are already well-established in peacemaking. Others, such as compartmentalization and utilization, are rather unconsciously used. All identified strategies, however, are not yet systematically employed to manage third parties' own dilemmas and trade-offs. Under the suggested framework, these strategies can act in complement to synthesize creativity and strategic thinking with surprising ease. Using examples from the authors' peacemaking activities and observations in Myanmar, Thailand, and Ukraine, the article demonstrates the real-world benefits of the framework in terms of decision assessment and optional thinking.
Distance learning in Ukraine in COVID-19 emergency
(Routledge, 2021) Shevchenko, Viktoriya; Malysh, Nataliia; Tkachuk-Miroshnychenko, Olena
The global outbreak of COVID-19, subsequent lockdown of universities, and suspension of on-campus learning have caught many higher educational institutions off-guard, challenging their ability to adapt to a new delivery system. Distance learning has come under the spotlight as the only option to avoid the disruption of the teaching-learning process irreversibly. The present study outlines the problems facing Ukrainian universities after the quarantine imposition due to the COVID-19 emergency. The research reveals that the emergency transition of Ukrainian universities to distance learning has not been smooth; both professor-tutors and students have been put at an unfair disadvantage. Additionally, the study intends to analyse the specifics of distance learning in the system of higher education of Ukraine in the emergency and activities of Ukrainian universities concerning the problems of transition to distance learning and utilisation of educational online platforms. An internet survey was conducted among Ukrainian university professor-tutors and students to explore the changes to the teaching-learning process under the COVID-19 emergency quarantine. Interviews with senior officials of leading Ukrainian universities were held to explore how they addressed the issue of the disruption of the education process due to the COVID-19 quarantine.
Education in Government Communications: Case of Ukraine
(2021) Ilchenko-Syuyva, Lesya; Riabtsev, Gennadii; Tertychka, Valerii
The article highlights building prerequisites that help to tackle problems related to the insufficient government communications and poor information provided to potential audiences in participatory democracies. The analysis has shown that many counties face the lack of strategic communications (both horizontal and vertical) and thus, create concerns about misunderstanding and bottlenecks in design and implementation of public policies. This problem expands when countries undergo rapid, systemic, fundamental changes, in particular due to the energy transition. Ukraine is not an exemption. Lack of real competition between MPA programs, pre-service and in-service training programs for public servants in Ukraine and poor quality of programs leave a niche for educational institutions to take the leading position. Hence, Kyiv Mohyla School of Governance (hereinafter – KMSGov) launched very specific and need oriented MPA program in Government Communications. The program was designed in close cooperation with Ukrainian public authorities and become client oriented. The program is innovative and one of a kind due to its integrity and consistency. It is student-centered and widely uses case studies, simulations and PBL techniques. In addition, the program consists of logically interconnected courses, which complement each other and provide broad pattern of particularities of evidence-based public policy design and implementation, public administration and management theory and practice, modern features of government communications and policy advocacy. Due to COVID restrictions and worldwide lockdown the Government Communication MPA program provided by KMSGov was fully transferred into on-line format without losing its quality. It became possible due modern information and communication technologies (tested in February-July 2020). The paper provides brief overview and main results of the analysis of the existing MPA programs and key particularities of the newly launched program.
Energy sector transparency evaluation: case of Ukraine
(NISPAcee Press, 2024) Riabtsev, Hennadii
The purpose of the study is to develop a policy tool – Energy Transparency Index – that allows monitoring and evaluation of energy sector transparency. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: enabling an in-depth analysis with a breakdown into categories, markets, and specific indicators; tracking changes both in time and in comparison with other countries; using only open sources for analysis; focusing on the energy sector performance along the value chain "producer-consumer". The methodology of the Index applies the statistical method of multidimensional weighted average, applied to assess complex objects. This methodology is based on the calculation of the average value of about 230 transparency indicators grouped into eight categories. It implies scores for five energy markets, as well as scores by sectoral categories – Balances, Natural monopolies, Supply, Reliability and security, and Consumption. Also, it implies scores by cross-sectoral categories – Reporting, Policy, and Public authorities – that relate to the whole sector. The score of every transparency indicator is calculated using a formula based on expert assessments of availability, accessibility, relevance, frequency, usability, and completeness. All calculated scores are converted into a 100-point scale. According to the assessment made in 2021, Ukraine’s final score – 63 out of 100 – indicates medium transparency in the sector. According to the 2022 assessment, Ukraine’s final score is 39 out of 100, the lowest in the last five years. The war and the introduction of martial law caused a sharp drop in the information openness of the sector – the indicator fell by 24 points. Despite this, the Index still helps consumers rationalize their economic behavior in the market. The Index is helpful to companies and potential investors seeking an open, competitive environment, a better relationship with the government and communities, and reducing business risks. The Index is helping public authorities improve their transparency and related regulations. Foreign partners get a deeper understanding of Ukraine’s energy policy and markets. In the future, it will be necessary to solve the following problems: determining the optimal number of experts to evaluate indicators; comparing energy sector transparency in different countries; and testing the reliability of the methodology in other sectors of the economy.
Enhancement of the Social Policy Management System in the Information Society (on the Example of University Environment)
(2025) Riabtsev, Gennadii; Maltseva, Оlha; Herasymchuk, Halyna; Nykolaieva, Valentyna; Hrynyk, Ihor; Kiliievych, Oleksandr
The peculiarity of the information society is not only its attitude towards the availability of information facilities, but also new approaches and assessments to the functioning of society. Digitalization leads to the possibility of greater access to other‘s experiences, which enables comparisons to be made and the best behavioral strategies to be formed. This affects perceptions of social policy management both within the system and among stakeholders, changing them in many ways, including neuropsychological and neuroeconomic. Social responsibility has taken on a special value in the realities of the information society and has become particularly important part of social policy. The issues of corporate social responsibility are given quite a lot of attention from the point of view of business aspects, while in the sphere of education the issues of social responsibility are considered to a much lesser extent. The aim of this article is to explore dimensions of enhancing the management of social responsibility policy in the information society on the example of university environment and to identify the attitude of university applicants to the presence of social responsibility policy in the university.
Enhancing Security in Sustainable Energy Systems for Central European Business: An Adaptive Response Methodology under National Economy
(2025) Kharazishvili, Yurii; Sukhodolia, Oleksandr; Riabtsev, Hennadii; Kalinin, Oleksandr; Us, Galyna; Lunov, Yevhen
The increasing complexity of energy security threats, both internal and external, poses significant challenges for businesses in Europe, necessitating a robust framework for evaluating and responding to these risks. This article introduces a comprehensive methodology designed to assess the effects of these threats on a state's energy security through two distinct approaches. The first method focuses on identifying imbalances by analysing the deviation of key indicators from established sustainability benchmarks. The second method combines expert evaluations of changes in comprehensive index components with mathematical computations to assess their overall impact through an energy security model. By employing adaptive control techniques, this methodology disaggregates integrated indices of components and security metrics, allowing a nuanced understanding of energy security dynamics. The energy security model incorporates contemporary evaluation methods that define secure thresholds within various security levels, facilitating a structured analysis of vulnerabilities. This flexible response approach formalises the impacts of threats on the holistic index, establishes new pathways for achieving objectives after a threat and dissects emerging dynamics into actionable components and metrics. The primary research objectives include enhancing the strategic planning capabilities of businesses, improving management decision making processes and quantifying threats to energy security in a systematic manner. The findings indicate that this methodology significantly aids managerial decision making, enabling businesses to alleviate the impacts of threats on energy security strategy elements. Furthermore, the Energy Sustainability Plan formalises relevant response strategies at multiple tiers, ensuring the adaptability of energy systems to maintain a sustainable development trajectory. This study contributes to the broader discourse on energy security by providing a practical framework that can be utilised by policymakers and business leaders to navigate the complexities of energy threats in Central Europe. Implications for Central European audience: By assessing internal and external threats to energy security, businesses in Central Europe can proactively address risks and optimise their sustainable energy strategies. Utilising adaptive control techniques and contemporary evaluation methods enhances resilience to evolving threats and ensures the stability of energy systems. This approach provides practical decision making insights and empowers businesses to customise their response strategies, thereby advancing the region's energy security and sustainability initiatives.
Entrepreneurship in the Era of the Digital Economy. Neuroeconomic Aspect
(2023) Lytvyn, Lyubov; Hryhoruk, Anatoliy; Orlova, Viktoriia; Shcherbych, Volodymyr; Serhieieva, Olena; Riabtsev, Gennadii
Total technologization inherent in the present encourages economic units, and especially enterprises, to adapt to the requirements of the era of the digital economy. In order to achieve the main goal of activity, entrepreneurs need to make decisions, applying not only generally accepted economic knowledge, but also take into account the emotional state, values and ethical preferences of their consumers. The issue of synergistic application of digital capabilities and scientific achievements in brain research and their adaptation to the economic sphere in business activities is becoming relevant. The purpose of the study is the analysis of entrepreneurial activity in the era of the digital economy in the aspect of neuroeconomic development. A high technical and intellectual level in the era of the digital economy requires entrepreneurs to be constantly up-to-date. An interdisciplinary approach is becoming more effective in training entrepreneurs, which includes not only economic and digital sciences, but also psychology and neurophysiology, which allows expanding the methodology and deepening knowledge about a person. The study of the influence of brain activity on the emotional mood and preferences of consumers has modified standard marketing approaches. The synthesis of marketing science with neurophysiology expands the opportunities of entrepreneurs to study customer preferences and improve their products. Synthesizing the economic meaning of enterprise activity and the way to achieve this meaning led to the digitalization of business activity. Innovative solutions of enterprise activity and the use of digital technologies are the key factors in the development of contemporary enterprises.
How to Integrate Dialogue into the Processes of Transitional Justice in Ukraine
(2020) Brunova-Kalisetska, Iryna; Kyselova, Tatiana; Martynenko, Oleg
Recently, several attempts to organize national dialogue platforms on various topics have been made, yet none of them has been fully implemented. We hear more and more that Ukraine "needs national dialogue". However, a clear understanding of the process and principles of professionally facilitated dialogue in the context of safe reintegration is lacking at the official level as well as among experts' circles. Documents on transitional justice being drafted in Ukraine also do not properly integrate the dialogue approach. Thus, the processes of development of the national transitional justice model and dialogues on different levels of Ukrainian society require greater synergy.
The influence of the decommunization policy on the formation of Ukrainian national identity
(2023) Poshedin, Oleh; Kashchuk, Kateryna
The article examined the impact of the decommunization policy in Ukraine on national identity formation. The objectives of the article were to determine the main reasons and consequences of decommunization in Ukraine. A historical approach to determine the causes of decommunization and justify its necessity is applied in the article. Sociological studies and expert opinions on decommunization are analyzed. Based on synthesis, analogy, and abstraction methods, the elaborated material is summarised, and the article’s conclusions are formulated. As a result, the conclusion has been drawn that decommunization could not contribute to the formation of national identity in Ukraine. The outcomes of decommunization had a positive effect only in combination with other efforts (educational process, dialogue with society, language policy). However, given Ukraine’s regional characteristics, it took time to unite the population around a shared historical memory, common symbols, and traditions. The policy of decommunization primarily contributed to the strengthening of regional identity. Moreover, improving the material well-being of Ukrainians and creating favorable conditions for living and working in Ukraine will unite the residents of all regions of Ukraine. These actions will significantly enhance the effect of decommunization in forming national identity.
Management of Innovative Activities in the Conditions of the Information Society: Neuroeconomic Aspect
(2025) Baklanova, Olena; Lytvyn, Lyubov; Riabtsev, Hennadii; Maltseva, Olha; Susidenko, Valentyn; Makarov, Zorislav
This article examines the neuweconomic aspect of innovative activity in the scope of global factors affecting the world economy. The megatrend of recent decades is digitalisation and globalisation, which have contributed to the formation and spread of the information society. The purpose of the article is to study neuroeconomic approaches to managing innovative activities in the conditions of information society. A wide range of globalisation's impact on states leads to their closer interaction. Supporters of globalisation emphasise the positive effects of its action, but critics see negative consequences for national economies and local producers. Thus, although the issue of globalisation is not new, there are still antagonistic opinions about its impact on society and the economy. The transition to digitalisation, imbalances and inequalities, as well as other previously existing global trends and problems have been exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic sway. Synchronically, as a great threat, the pandemic revealed the need for global cooperation. It has been established that the positive impact of the globalisation of the world economy is manifested in the openness of markets, which sharpens competition and encourages entrepreneurs to develop innovative activities. The neuroeconomic approach to decision-making makes it possible to respond adequately to the prevailing conditions. In order to rationally manage innovative activities, it is necessary to single out the stages of genesis and formation of the concept, the process of its execution and the realisation of the innovation, at each o f which one of the most important factors of effectiveness is the system o f decisions made by managers.

(2019) Kyselova, Tatiana
This report was prepared by the Mediation and Dialogue Research Center, Kyiv Mohyla Academy, Ukraine at the request of the Inclusive Peace and Transition Initiative (IPTI), Geneva, as part of its Impact Local Peace project (2018-2019). The purpose of the mapping was to provide contextual knowledge and form a basis for reflection and exchange with local partners and stakeholders.
Membrane distillation instead of evaporation for concentration of fruit juices
(2008) Shapar, O.; Ryabtsev, Gennady
The problems of steady development of economy have been in the center of attention in many countries including Ukraine. The solution to this question is related to active introduction of molecular and nanotechnology in the industry. They must replace outdated powerful and ecologically dangerous productions developed in Ukraine in Soviet time, and make our country one of the leaders in the world division of labor. Membrane distillation belongs to such advanced technologies.
Monitoring and evaluation in the field of health care in the system of local self-government
(2023) Korobchynska, Nataliia; Khaletska, Alina
The process of managing the health care system at the level of local self-government bodies should include monitoring and evaluation of the health care system. Digital technologies expand the possibilities of effective monitoring and evaluation in the field of health care. At the level of local self-government bodies of the Vinnytsia urban territorial community (Ukraine), a system of monitoring and evaluation of the health care system using digital technologies has been developed, implemented and used. This system of monitoring and evaluation using digital technologies makes it possible to assess the needs of the population of a defined territory in the field of health care, helps local self-government managers to evaluate the results and performance indicators of the health care system, to forecast the results of the implementation of certain local programs and measures, determine their economic efficiency and expediency. The experience of using the monitoring and evaluation system of the health care system by the local self-government bodies of the Vinnytsia urban territorial community with the use of digital technologies has confirmed the effectiveness of the management and effectiveness of the proposed monitoring and evaluation system both in normal conditions and in conditions of new challenges and problems: the COVID-19 pandemic and military aggression against Ukraine.
