Welcome to the "White Papers" section.
Here we publish analytical documents prepared by international groups of experts, scholars, and political figures. Each White Paper is an independent, interdisciplinary study dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of current international conflicts and crises.
Our goals:
- Objective Analysis: Examining the causes, dynamics, and potential consequences of conflicts from multiple perspectives.
- Seeking Solutions: Proposing scenarios and diplomatic initiatives aimed at de-escalation and peaceful resolution.
- Informing the Public: Providing expert assessments for a broad audience—from civil society to decision-makers.
The documents in this section do not advocate the position of any single country or government. Their value lies in a balanced approach based on facts, rational understanding, and a commitment to peace, with the well-being of conflict-affected people at its core.
WHITE PAPER ON UKRAINE/RUSSIA Prospects for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict: causes, sanctions and possible scenarios
This “white paper” is the product of interdisciplinary collaboration by an independent and international assembly of “experts,” scholars and political actors, sponsored by the International Council for Diplomacy and Dialogue—USA and the European Council for Democracy Development. Their disciplinary focus ranges from sociology to political science to economics and the humanities. They work in universities, institutes, non-governmental organizations, and various advisory bodies. None are propagandists of any party or in the pay of any government; their vitae are available upon request. They have very different political beliefs, but they are united by a common rational and realistic approach to conflict resolution. Our purpose is not to insist on a single tactic or strategy, but rather present scenarios and possible responses.
