KYIV – 2016

INFORMATION SHEET

Dear colleagues!

The National Academy for Public Administration under the President of Ukraine together with the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, the Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Institute of Social and Political Psychology of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine, Ukrainian Technological Academy, Ukrainian Society of Promotion for Social Innovation announce the beginning of the 4^th Annual International Contest of Young Scholars “Archetypes and Public Administration: Challenges and Risks of Social Transformation” in the framework of the initiatives by the Ukrainian School of Archetypes.

This year's contest programme framework is associated with the idea that social transformation and political modernization of the late 20^th - early 21^st centuries do not necessarily coincide with the model of “Western exemplar” that arose at the time of the Great Depression during 1930-1940s of the 21^st century. Modern political life of the countries of the second wave of transformation leads to the appearance of new socio-economic and socio-political forms of social organization. Conflict intensity of political simulations becomes more and more pronounced, especially the one revealed by the countries of the former Soviet Union. Social and transformational process is noted by a number of new phenomena of the “converted democracy” or “democracy of the chameleons”. It seems that the current political modernization is fed by not only universals of institutional matrix and archetypes of the collective unconscious, but the specific manifestations of conscious and unconscious in different space-time implementations of socio-cultural nature of the national public entities. However, growing challenges and threats to global, regional and social integrity and security, which take effect in the context of the formation of post-modern realities of the modern world, significantly alter the traditional notions about the nature and factors of social and state development. Under these conditions, the most sensitive to the socio-transformation process is a matter of balance between the growth rate of socio-political, socio-economic and other socio-cultural forms of expression of institutional activity (freedom) of citizens and potential of the playback of psychosocial (archetypal) nature of the social reforms. This balance – between institutional form and psychological content – In fact, provides a mode of sustainable development of the society.

The organizing committee invites young scholars (Master's degree students, postgraduate students, Candidates of Sciences and PhD up to 35 years) of all specialties to participate in the contest.

The closing part of the contest will be held on 27 May 2016 in Kyiv (Ukraine) in the building of the Specialized Academic Council of the NAPA at 03057, Kyiv, 20 Eugène Pottier Str.

The purpose of the event is the reproduction of the environment of the Ukrainian School of Archetypes and unification of the interdisciplinary efforts of scholars working in different fields of social and humanitarian knowledge on solving of the archetype based methodology of theoretical and practical problems of modern public administration, related to challenges and risks arising in the context of social and transformational change.
