Reprogramming Sovereignty: Financial Algorithms and the Future of Political Economy

2025-08-06T09:25:04+07:00

This article examines the epistemological foundations of sovereignty in the context of the declining liberal economic order and the emergence of strategic statecraft. Drawing on Russia’s algorithmic response to Western sanctions, it introduces the concept of sovereign acceleration—a temporal regime enabling strategic outcomes independent of traditional capital accumulation. Utilizing a methodology grounded in strategic epistemology, comparative circuit analysis, and visual infographics, the study argues that new modalities of sovereignty emerge from the capacity to program financial circuits and redesign developmental trajectories beyond the Bretton Woods paradigm. The findings provide a reframing of political economy by integrating resource ontology, financial autonomy, and algorithmic governance into a framework for analyzing sovereign resilience.

Digital Tools in Security Governance: Enhancing Public Participation and Deliberative Democracy - the case of Poland

2025-08-14T09:08:46+07:00

Poland's rapid digital transformation reshapes democratic engagement in national security governance, offering opportunities and challenges. Despite expanding e-governance, digital identification, and consultation tools, barriers like unequal digital literacy and limited transparency hinder inclusive participation. This study, grounded in Habermas’ deliberative democracy theory, explores how digital tools can enhance accountability and public involvement in security decision-making. Using a mixed-method approach—expert interviews, student surveys at War Studies University in Warsaw, and analysis of policy documents and media—it reveals limited civic engagement despite widespread use of digital platforms for information access. Institutional trust, influenced by transparency, leadership, and media framing, remains moderate. Experts highlight the potential and limitations of digital deliberative mechanisms for democratic legitimacy. The study recommends developing secure, transparent digital platforms to improve public consultations in security policy-making. While Poland’s technological infrastructure supports digital inclusion, uneven participation underscores the need to strengthen capacities for genuine democratic co-creation in security governance.

Flexible Self-Regulation and Resilience as Key Factors in Effectively Overcoming Challenges in Disasters, Terrorism, and Pandemics

2025-06-26T12:26:25+07:00

The author examines the role of flexible self-regulation and resilience as key factors in successfully overcoming challenges arising during disasters, terrorism, and pandemics. The article discusses the psychological mechanisms underlying these processes and their impact on individuals' ability to adapt to extreme and unpredictable situations. The study highlights the dynamic nature of resilience, emphasizing that it is not a static characteristic but an ongoing process influenced by both internal resources (such as emotional stability and self-efficacy) and external factors (including social support and environmental stability).
The article also explores various strategies for enhancing resilience, such as the development of emotional flexibility, cognitive reframing, and adaptive stress coping mechanisms. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of fostering psychological resilience in different professional fields, such as healthcare and education, where the ability to manage stress and maintain a sense of control is critical.
The author further analyzes the impact of crises on social cohesion and individual well-being, noting that a resilient mindset can facilitate recovery not only at the individual level but also within communities and organizations. The article considers international experiences with resilience-building programs to illustrate effective interventions in various crisis contexts.
The study concludes with practical recommendations for enhancing resilience and flexible self-regulation through education, training, and policy development, aiming to reduce the psychological impact of crises and ensure long-term recovery.

Digital deconstruction of tradition: religion and family values in the network environment

2025-08-14T09:54:18+07:00

The article is dedicated to analyzing the impact of digitalization on the transformation of religious and family traditions in the context of network society. The focus of the research is the deconstruction of sacred narratives and the reinterpretation of family roles under the influence of information and communication technologies. The author examines how digital platforms are transforming ritual practices, changing modes of spiritual education, and complicating the processes of intergenerational transmission of religious and moral norms.
The digital age is giving rise to new configurations of interaction between the individual, the family, and religious institutions, disrupting the traditional hierarchy of the sacred. The online environment shapes alternative socialization mechanisms where faith takes on a personalized and fragmented character, and the family functions in hybrid communication formats that combine physical presence with virtual practices. The article explores the adaptation of religious institutions to the digital logic of perception, specifically the broadcasting of services, virtual participation in rituals, and online communities of believers. In a family context, the changes in leisure activities, rituals, authority, and religious education through digital media are emphasized.
Within the framework of an interdisciplinary approach (religious studies, sociology, anthropology), key challenges are outlined: the risk of superficial religious experience, the rise of digital addiction, the fragmentation of collective memory, and the ethics of online education. At the same time, new possibilities are highlighted: accessibility of spiritual knowledge, flexibility in forms of participation, and the expansion of tools for transmitting values. Digitization not only adds new media to traditional forms of interaction but also radically changes the mechanisms of identity formation, religious affiliation, and the structuring of the sacred in everyday life.
