Dyplomacja na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju jako forma nowoczesnej dyplomacji w kontekście bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego w świetle wojny rosyjsko-ukraińskiej

Abstracts

PL

Biorąc pod uwagę niestabilność światowego systemu gospodarczego spowodowaną klęskami żywiołowymi, kryzysami finansowymi, pandemiami i konfliktami zbrojnymi, realizacja zrównoważonego rozwoju jako strategii globalnej staje się coraz większym wyzwaniem. Zaostrzenie globalnych problemów stojących przed ludzkością oraz zakrojona na szeroką skalę inwazja Rosji na Ukrainę dodatkowo pogarszają ogólną kwestię bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego. Istnieje potrzeba znalezienia skutecznych sposobów realizacji stosunków międzynarodowych w obecnych warunkach, które gwarantowałyby zrównoważony rozwój i bezpieczeństwo międzynarodowe. W artykule na podstawie przeglądu literatury zbadano teoretyczne i koncepcyjne podstawy dyplomacji zrównoważonego rozwoju. Wykorzystując metodę hipotetyczno-dedukcyjną, autorki testują hipotezę, że dyplomacja zrównoważonego rozwoju może być skutecznym i wydajnym narzędziem do zapewnienia obecnie bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego i zrównoważonego rozwoju. Zgodność dyplomacji zrównoważonego rozwoju z podstawowymi zasadami zrównoważonego rozwoju jest badana poprzez analizę definicji oraz ustalenie, czy polityka zagraniczna państwa ma na celu zrównoważony rozwój i czy jest on osiągany wyłącznie środkami pokojowymi, a także określenie roli dyplomacji zrównoważonego rozwoju w zapewnianiu bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego. Dodatkowo w ramach analizy interdyscyplinarnej i indukcji zbadano związek pomiędzy zrównoważonym rozwojem a bezpieczeństwem międzynarodowym. Dzięki zastosowaniu metody integracji udoskonalono narzędzia regulacyjne dla dyplomacji zrównoważonego rozwoju w kontekście bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego.

Given the instability of the global economic system caused by natural disasters, financial crises, pandemics, and armed conflicts, the realization of sustainable development as a global strategy is increasingly challenging. The exacerbation of global problems facing humanity – and Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine – further worsen the issue of international security in general. There is a need to find effective approaches to the implementation of international relations in current conditions that would guarantee sustainable development and international security. This article examines the theoretical and conceptual foundations of sustainable development diplomacy based on a literature review. It tests the hypothesis about the ability of sustainable development diplomacy to be an effective and efficient tool in current conditions for ensuring sustainable development and international security using the hypothetical and deductive method. The compliance of sustainable development diplomacy, with the fundamental principles of sustainable development, is investigated through an analysis of definitions, determining whether the state’s foreign policy is aimed at sustainable development and whether sustainable development is achieved exclusively through peaceful means, as well as identifying the defined role of sustainable development diplomacy in ensuring international security. Additionally, the article explores the relationship between sustainable development and international security through an interdisciplinary analysis and the method of induction. The regulatory tools for sustainable development diplomacy in the context of international security were improved through the application of the integration method.
