Local and Global Impact of the War in Ukraine, is a careful selection of essays composed by twenty experts from inside and outside of Ukraine. They encapsulate the most important issues stemming from the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The contributions provide valuable insights into the past present, and future consequences of the conflict in Ukraine in local and global contexts. As the world is radically changing in response to the war, it is necessary to communicate this knowledge to academe and the wider public. The contributors discuss the invasion and its security impacts such as Russia's use of private militias as well as diplomacy and deterrence theory. Sensitive topics such as migration, minorities and refugees fleeing the war are explored in detail. The book concludes with close attention to the theoretical and practical implications of the war on Ukraine as they impact world order and the survival of democracy in Ukraine and beyond.

Klappentext

"It is no secret that the world is facing an increasing number of global threats. Conferences such as Local and Global Impacts of the War in Ukraine and collections like this book not only shed light on how these threats affect societies and individuals, but also provide an opportunity to prepare for them. They equip both people and organizations for the future. As Machiavelli once said, Forewarned is forearmed. Praemonitus, praemunitus."

This collection of diverse essays on the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine is essential reading for anyone interested in the far-reaching consequences of social transformations of the twenty-first century. In it, we hear directly from refugees, forced migrants, and other citizens in direct solidarity with Ukrainians. We likewise hear voices that help us understand new emerging areas of study such as paramilitary and non-military combatants and rationales for armed aggression; new solidarities among Eastern countries; and the future challenges for supra-national organizations and alliances, and the weakening West's support of European allies."
