Item Conflict issue perceptions in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict by the both conflict parties(2022) Savon, Vladyslav; Kuzio, Taras; Bierman, RafaelThis paper explores conflict issues perceptions of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and compare the two-opposite point of views on this conflict.Item Controversies in politics of the Left party in Germany towards Ukraine before and after the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine(2023) Gordiienko, Anastasiia; Yakovlev, MaksymThis paper provides an examination of the politics, policies, and positions of the Die Linke Party regarding Ukraine and Russia. It specifically focuses on the changes in Die Linke's policies towards Ukraine before and after the onset of the full-scale war in 2022 and the influence of varying positions held by party members on the decision-making process. By analyzing intra-party dynamics, power distribution, and key figures within the party, this study fills a gap in the existing scientific research on the Left Party's policies towards Ukraine before and after the beginning of the Russian war in 2022. The relevance of the Left Party's policies toward Russia and Ukraine stems from several factors. Firstly, the party's historical connections with the Soviet Union and its prominent role in German politics make its stance on these issues significant for understanding broader dynamics in German foreign policy. Secondly, Germany's reliance on Russian gas and concerns regarding the potential influence of commercial interests on German politicians and entrepreneurs further highlight the importance of this topic. Lastly, despite extensive research on German foreign policy towards Russia and Ukraine, more explicit information is needed to focus on the attitudes of German political parties, including the Left Party, towards Ukraine. The Left Party's position on the Ukrainian conflict is characterized as complex and evolving, reflecting internal debates and divisions within the party. While the party's official stance condemns Putin's violation of international law and advocates for diplomacy, the statements and actions of prominent party figures like Wagenknecht present a more nuanced perspective. The Left Party's stance on the Ukrainian conflict has sparked discussions and controversies within the political landscape. The study's findings support the hypothesis, emphasizing the impact of the conflict on the party's popularity and the diverse range of opinions within the party itself.Item Eu’s policy of conditionality and its impact on Democratic consolidation in georgia and Ukraine(2023) Hudziuk, Liliia; Chabanna, MarharytaThe thesis is devoted to the impact of the EU’s conditionality policy on the process of democratic consolidation in Georgia and Ukraine from 2014 to 2022. The following paper uses case study as a method to answer the research question. This work consists of five chapters and conclusions. The first chapter discusses the research topic, defines the purpose of the research, and provides a literature review on the topic. The second chapter outlines the theoretical basis of the research. The third chapter examines the research method and presents an operationalized structure of analysis based on the model of democratic consolidation by Linz and Stepan as well as the external incentives model by F. Schimmelfennig and U. Sedelmeier. The fourth chapter is devoted to the analysis of the process of democratic consolidation in Georgia and Ukraine based on the operationalized model of democratic consolidation by H. Linz and A. Stepan. The fifth chapter evaluates the effectiveness of the EU conditionality policy using the operationalized model of external incentives by F. Schimmelfennig and U. Sedelmeier. The research showed that Ukraine has been slightly more successful in consolidating its democracy than Georgia due to a better consolidated civil society, more ambitious EU conditionality policy and less pervasive influence of veto players on the political life of the country. While Ukraine’s party system is characterized by pluralism, in Georgia most power is concentrated in the hands of one party "Georgian Dream" under the influence of oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, which ultimately led to the gradual deterioration of all indices of democracy. The effectiveness of the EU conditionality policy has not been fully exhausted due to the lack of a clear membership perspective, new incentives, punishment mechanisms for failure to implement reforms, as well as clear criteria and indicators for evaluating the progress. On the part of the target countries, the effectiveness of the EU’s policy of conditionality is weakened by the influence of veto players on political life, the unfavorable geopolitical and domestic situation, as well as availability of alternative rewards with lower adoption costs and losses for the government in power.Item Marketing Approaches in Political Branding during Election Campaigns(2022) Mokhnach, Marta; Gnatiuk, Mykola; Oppelland, TorstenResearch Question: What are the marketing approaches in the digital political communication used in the election campaigns in the Ukrainian presidential race 2019 and in the German federal race 2021?
