The current study is the result of many years of work by the author in the field of the understudied concept of network diplomacy and the possibilities of using it in resolving sharp conflicts in order to facilitate their more effective resolution, as well as the possibilities of using the elements of network diplomacy in peaceful spheres of world politics, business and private sector.

The work is of practice-oriented nature and has been tested in government structures when formulating approaches to solving political and other problems. The author’s ideas found a positive response, some of which are reflected in the proposed study.

The main part of the monograph consists of case-studies that are dedicated to the possible use of network diplomacy in «problem» zones (the Libyan crisis, the conflict in Syria, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh), as well as in the areas of peaceful coexistence (international sport, culture and humanitarian ties, twin cities, cross years etc). Some chapters are particularly dedicated to Russia’s possible involvement in network solutions to the conflicts. For a better understanding of the concept proposed by the author, the monograph starts with a brief insight into theoretical foundations of network diplomacy. In the light of the current events in Ukraine, and also in the EU-Russia relations and in international politics on a global scale, which is now characterized by instability, the study can present a useful example of how the instruments of network diplomacy could be used as a mechanism contributing to conflict resolution, peacebuilding, or post-conflict reconstruction.
