Post-Invasion Ukraine: Law, Politics, and Social Reconstruction in Central Europe

Abstract

This panel brings together interdisciplinary research on the legal, political, and social upheavals in Central Europe caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The contributions, which focus on state responses, intra- and transnational solidarity, institutional adaptation, and the barriers to recovery and integration, look at how law, policy, and local practice interact to determine resilience and reconstruction paths. The panel delves into the conflicts between national political ambitions and collective commitments, the role of legal and economic mechanisms in fostering recovery, and the social dynamics that enable post-conflict restoration and reintegration. By contextualizing empirical findings within larger theoretical discussions, the papers offer comparative insights and policy-relevant recommendations for increasing regional stability, governance capacity, and rights-based approaches to reconstruction.
