The Economics of Russia’s War in Ukraine provides a thorough analysis of the Russo-Ukrainian war, tracing its historical roots and exploring its multifaceted dimensions. This book emphasizes economic, geopolitical, and humanitarian impacts, highlighting Ukraine’s resilience amid challenges. At the same time, this study examines the EU’s dynamic responses to economic crises and energy transition, the consequences of the war on global trade dynamics, and the significant influence of geopolitical events on financial markets. It underscores the EU’s commitment to aiding Ukraine, enhancing its security, and increasing defence spending in response to evolving geopolitical complexities. The impact of the invasion on financial markets and the vulnerabilities of the banking sector are closely examined, highlighting the complex relationship between geopolitics and the global economy. Findings suggest that the priorities for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine include addressing human capital and demographics, employment opportunities, environmental protection, infrastructure and housing reconstruction, security and mine clearance, waste recycling, agriculture and food security, digital transformation, social protection and healthcare, and education and research. This book therefore argues that a comprehensive, integrated approach with international support is crucial for Ukraine’s recovery and sustainable economic growth.

The Economics of Russia’s War in Ukraine will be useful for scholars, students, professionals, policy makers, all interested in economics, international relations, security, and global studies, as well as all those wishing to have a thorough and clear understanding of the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and its influence on Europe.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of gender equality and women’s rights in Ukraine and the European Union, focusing on both political security and economic– social dimensions.

The first part examines European gender policy standards in Ukraine, feminist foreign policy, women’s involvement in political protests, and the influential roles of First Ladies like Brigitte Macron, Agata Kornhauser- Duda, and Olena Zelenska in promoting gender equality. It also explores gendered aspects of military service, the portrayal of female refugees, and the EU’s response to sexual violence in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine. The second part addresses economic and social issues, including the intersection of gender equality with sustainable development, gender- responsive budgeting, and women’s roles in business. It highlights women’s contributions to nonprofit organizations and discusses the experiences of Ukrainian female students in Poland as well as the status of single mothers in Ukraine and the UK.

The study is relevant for policy formulation by institutions working on gender equality, foreign affairs, and human rights. It is also a valuable resource for universities, research institutes, think tanks, and civil society organizations involved in gender equality, human rights, and peacebuilding in Ukraine and Europe. The interdisciplinary nature of the publication, which integrates research from politics, law, sociology, international relations, economics, and pedagogy, makes it applicable to both general and specialized courses. It is dedicated to researchers and students in the social sciences, offering key insights for courses in gender studies, political science, international relations, human rights studies, eastern policy of EU, development studies, and European integration, and providing a foundation for critical reflection on gender equality policies and EU integration.
