Ukraine is again—since its annexation of Crimea in February 2014 and the ongoing war in the Donbas—the stage of the largest crisis in Europe since the end of the Cold War.

When it comes to understanding the resolution and prevention of complex hybrid conflicts, theories in international relations are trapped in their state-centred perspectives. Meanwhile, the role of the individual actor, alone or organised, often remains underestimated as political and moral agent.

In this book, Marc Raphael Dietrich sheds light on a critical yet politically practicable notion of cosmopolitanism which centres on the individual and is framed by a set of universal principles, thus providing valuable alternative insights on the Crimea and Donbas conflict.

A Cosmopolitan Model for Peacebuilding: The Ukrainian Cases of Crimea and the Donbas explores these themes, offering a fresh perspective on conflict resolution and prevention.

  • How Patronal Networks Shape Opportunities for Local Citizen Participation in a Hybrid Regime
    Oleksandra Keudel proposes a novel explanation for why some local governments in hybrid regimes enable citizen participation while others restrict it. She argues that mechanisms for citizen participation are by-products of the political dynamics of informal business-political (patronal) networks that seek domination over local governments. Against the backdrop of either competition or coordination between patronal networks in their localities, municipal...
