Academic Scientific JournalsCollaborative platforms as alternative players of global politics: Ukraine Defense Contact Group and Kyiv Security Compact 2022
Keywords:
Collaborative Platfor, Security, Collaboration, RammsteinAbstract
In the article, the author considers the possibility of new global actors in the context of rethinking security architecture. Using G. Grevi’s interpolarity approach and the “thousand plateaus” concept by J. Deleuze and F. Guattari, the researcher forms a theoretical basis for the categories of the collaborative window and collaborative platform. The author offers her vision of the external and internal structure of the collaborative platform as a transnational interactive place for joint actions. Applying the case study, the researcher considers the Ukraine Defense Contact Group as a kind of prototype of a collaborative platform, while the Kyiv Security Compact is the legal basis of a collective security institution.
