2 ABSTRACT
The study analyzes how the peculiarities of Ukrainian lawmaking and the practice of implementing regulatory acts affect the achievement of the goals of state plans. The subject of the analysis is the National Action Plan for the Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 “Women, Peace, Security” for the period until 2025. On this basis, the prospects for the development and implementation of a Ukrainian analogue of the Swedish concept of comprehensive defense are outlined. The issue of ensuring collective resilience in a crisis requires legal registration and cooperation of the government-society-business triad, therefore, the limitations and favorable factors of the implementation of the current program document, which are noted in the report, will be useful for building a comprehensive defense system.
Keywords: comprehensive defense, lawmaking, agenda “Women. Peace. Security”, state program, local governments, coalitions 1325
The research was conducted by the CSO "Expert Resource Gender in Detail" as part of the project “Gender Mainstreaming in the Context of Comprehensive Defence”, funded by the grant “Best Practices of the Swedish Gender Approach as a Tool for Empowering Ukrainian Women to Implement Sustainable Reforms and Promote Ukraine’s European Integration”, with financial support from the Swedish Institute and in partnership with the Swedish International Liberal Centre.
The project draws on gender mainstreaming practices within Sweden’s comprehensive defence system and represents the first attempt in the Ukrainian context to explore the possibilities of implementing a Swedish-style comprehensive defence strategy in Ukraine while simultaneously integrating a gender perspective across key sectors, including the economy, care work, the armed forces, civil defence, governance, information policy, and the volunteer movement.
The project’s concept author and project lead is Tamara Zlobina, PhD in Philosophy and Head of the CSO "Expert Resource Gender in Detail".
